Ametek Prestolite Power debuts Site Probe for 24/7 monitoring of lift truck battery and charger usage
AMETEK Prestolite Power, provider of industrial battery charging and fleet management solutions, introduced the Site Probe, its latest product designed to improve overall warehouse efficiency by providing 24/7 activity monitoring of lift truck battery usage. The unique new Site Probe fills a long-standing monitoring and reporting need by operators of warehouses and other facilities where motive battery-powered forklifts and other utility vehicles are used. According to Jeff Harrison, sales and marketing director at AMETEK Prestolite Power, “The Site Probe is a valuable tool for conducting a complete power study of each facility to determine exactly what the power requirements will be for maximum efficiency during battery charging operations. It also serves as a diagnostic device to find the causes of application problems that prevent maximum throughput and productivity.” In addition to its diagnostic capabilities, he said, the Site Probe’s built-in data analysis tools allow users to better understand charging opportunities, idle times and amp hours consumed.
