Green Cubes Demonstrates Suite of Lithium Battery Solutions at MODEX 2024

As electrification of material handling equipment continues to gain traction, Green Cubes offers new battery and charger technology roadmaps and best practices to ensure safety and sustainability for electric fleets.

March 8, 2024 –  Green Cubes Technology (Green Cubes), the leader in producing Lithium-ion (Li-ion) power systems that facilitate the transition from lead-acid batteries and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to green Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery power, today announced it will demonstrate its suite of Lithium SAFEFlex Batteries and Chargers, including its recently announced Lithium SAFEFlex PLUS Batteries, SAFEFlex Chargers and Industrial Swappable Batteries at MODEX 2024 in booth B2607. Green Cubes will also present a roadmap for the latest sustainable technology for material handling best practices and results from the adoption of Lithium-ion batteries in material handling equipment. The presentation is on Wednesday, March 13 at 11:30 a.m. in the Sustainability Theater. 

For over 35 years, Green Cubes has been on the forefront of electrification innovations. The company recently celebrated a decade of motive power technology leadership for material handling and ground support equipment with its flagship suite of Lithium SAFEFlex Battery solutions, designed to meet the cost, performance, efficiency, and durability requirements of the rugged warehouse, distribution, and airport environments.

The Green Cubes swappable battery platform is a complete pre-engineered energy storage power system available to industrial workstation manufacturers to save time and money for their product’s system design. The battery, power system controller and charger enable electrification of non-powered OEM mobile workstations. For more information, visit: https://greencubes.com/product/24v-industrial-swappable-battery-2440/

On Wednesday, March 13 at 11:30 a.m. in the Sustainability Theater, Green Cubes will present a roadmap for the latest sustainable technology for material handling best practices and results from the adoption of Lithium-ion batteries in material handling equipment. Robin Schneider, Director of Marketing of Green Cubes, will profile emerging battery and charger technology and present a case study, with an emphasis on demonstrating what benefits enterprise customers recognized when they implemented Lithium-ion platforms. Lithium-ion batteries have become an increasingly common choice for powering material handling equipment (MHE), from larger Class 1 forklifts to smaller Class 3 pallet jacks. Now that Li-ion batteries have an attachment rate with electric MHE estimated between 15 and 25 percent, the technology has changed from an early adopter novelty to mainstream. With Li-ion technology, fleets will have a lower total cost of ownership and achieve environmental and sustainability goals, taking advantage of incentives and vouchers. However, to make the transition seamless, it is important to understand the best practices in implementing this technology.
