What we know
We know that traditional machines are typically powered by fossil fuels, produce high carbon emissions, cause noise pollution, and have high operating costs.
We also know that the electric charging infrastructure is generally not available during the early phases of construction. Neither obstacle has been overcome until now.
The solution: Hydrogen-Electric technology
The development of Hydrogen-Electric power combines clean, efficient performance with pioneering Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology for emission-free operation on-site, even when charging facilities are unavailable.
How does it work?
Burning hydrogen is only 25-35% efficient in terms of energy conversion, but an electric fuel cell can be as high as 60% efficient. Therefore, it must be coupled with a suitable, efficient electric platform.
"This now gives you the opportunity to install all Electric machines with their self-charging function on sites before they even have the electrical infrastructure."—Tom Hadden, Technical Sales Manager at Niftylift.
