Ecobat Battery hones its industrial offering

Endorsing its position as a versatile service and supply partner for the industrial sector, Ecobat Battery is further expanding its offering with the addition of another service engineer to allow it to support more businesses as demand continues to grow across Ireland.

Operating out of its branch in Portlaoise, the Ecobat Battery industrial team, headed by Senior Sales Manager, Neil Downing, will hit the ground running in the New Year, as it shines the spotlight on the company’s formidable armoury of products and services aimed to help the smooth running of industrial businesses reliant on forklift trucks and other associated materials handling machinery.

Alongside a broad range of suitable replacement products from brands including E-Drive, Rolls Battery, Sonnenschein and US Battery, as well as chargers from Fronius and SPE, Ecobat Battery’s service engineers can provide invaluable support to keep capital equipment, such as forklifts, in good working order.

These services include battery inspection, watering and surface cleaning, but also bolt on 2-volt fitment and cell repair, plus stripping, cleaning and refitment. On the charging side of the equation, installation of a suitable system or battery filling station are among the many other areas that the company’s knowledge and experience can bring into play.

With the experience inherent within a specialist business that has been trading for more than 70 years, along with the high quality training each engineer undertakes, the company is also able to provide its customers with an economical breakdown repair or short term resolution, to ensure they have a first fix solution that means that equipment downtime is reduced to an absolute minimum.

When it comes to battery end of life, whether the need is for a premium quality solution that will last several years and provide a superior return on investment, or for something more basic, the Ecobat Battery team is willing and able to work with its customers to identify the right product for the application and its demands, across all battery types from traction to backup power storage.

Complementing this broad range of products is the team’s power storage capability as in addition to its materials handling expertise, it has considerable knowledge and experience in the telecom, uninterrupted power supply and off grid sectors. A particularly relevant case in point is the recent completion of the second phase of a major piece of infrastructure work for a 404 megawatt combined gas turbine power station for the National Grid of Ireland.

During the project at Huntstown power station, the Ecobat Battery team removed the station’s previous backup power batteries and installed more than four hundred new batteries, each weighing 160 kilogrammes within a second floor location with restricted access, which means that close to 140 tonnes of batteries were transferred to complete the overall project!

To ensure those searching for an industrial battery can quickly and easily locate a suitable solution, Ecobat Battery has recently updated its industrial catalogue. The comprehensive publication that features all the company’s brands, including the cost effective and capable E-Drive range, can be viewed online or downloaded.

Finally, further reducing the load on the shoulders of hard pressed warehouse managers and those operating or responsible for the maintenance of forklifts, Ecobat Battery also offers a solution for environmentally friendly battery collection and recycling, as sister company Ecobat Logistics is one of the country’s principal battery recycling businesses, safely disposing of waste batteries and returning the salvaged lead back into the battery production industry.
