Onsite Lift | Lithium as a tool for change

Industrial lifting equipment has long since chosen the green transition and is now turning to lithium batteries for their high efficiency and low environmental impact

That industrial lifting equipment has been highly involved in the green transition offered by electrification for many years is a fact. From the earth moving machines used in construction sites or in agriculture to the AGVs and LGVs employed in automated logistics, all the way to the aerial work platforms and electric cranes operating in the field of urban systems and maintenance, there are countless applications that have taken on the energy transition challenge and are doing so at a fast pace, relying on the high efficiency and low environmental impact offered by the latest lithium battery technologies.

According to Marco Righi, CEO and Founder of Flash Battery, “There are three key words for this transition: pursuit of greater sustainability, flexibility of use and return on investment. We’ve been working to electrify lifting equipment since our founding in 2012, and we’ve seen that over time the choice of lithium has become increasingly popular for its efficiency, autonomy and ease of use, not to mention its zero maintenance. In 2023 alone we recorded almost double the growth in the aerial platform segment, which was also accompanied by clear growth in agriculture and construction. In just a few years lithium technology has made a major qualitative leap and the conversion is now unstoppable”.
