As lockdown begins to lift and logistics operations prepare to get back to work, rarely has it been more important to pay proper attention to forklift fleet batteries that have been out of action for several weeks. Hoppecke Industrial Batteries is reminding businesses to treat the live wet chemistry in lead-acid batteries with due care when bringing trucks back into use, otherwise capacity could be seriously reduced.

Bombardier Transportation has signalled its commitment to Hoppecke Industrial Batteries by signing a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA). The long-term service agreement has been put in place to give assurances to Bombardier's suppliers that “they are a bit more than that, they are partners", as Richard Jackson, Senior Buyer - Strategic Procurement at the Bombardier Rail Vehicles Production Site in Derby, said.

Littlehampton Book Services (LBS) has ensured its materials handling trucks continue to work with minimum disruption at its warehouse thanks to a maintenance contract taken out with battery manufacturer Hoppecke Industrial Batteries.
