Battery power is often essential for work truck operators to get their work done, but the load a truck battery takes on a daily basis can be quite extensive. One company, Go Power!, found the solar option to be the solution to many fleet power problems. Sean O’Connor, Go Power!’s fleet business development manager, shares how work truck fleets can benefit from Go Power!’s solution.

MWS: WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON FOR GO POWER!?
O’CONNOR:
Delivery drivers are constantly battling dead batteries on liftgates and their pallet jacks. This year, we’re releasing our newest kit: The Dual Charging System (DCS).
This kit was engineered specifically for charging both liftgate and pallet jack batteries. This wall-mounted box automatically switches charging from pallet jacks to liftgates, depending on what is plugged in to the unit. The DCS can save time and reduce fuel costs by making deliveries more efficient.
