Green Cubes Technology Brings Sustainable Lithium Batteries into Ground Support Equipment at Four U.S. Airports
Green Cubes Technology today announced its first large-scale commercial sale of lithium battery systems to the ground support equipment market.
Green Cubes Technology today announced its first large-scale commercial
sale of lithium battery systems to the ground support equipment market.
With its Lithium SAFEFlex® battery system, Green Cubes will power select
belt loaders, baggage tractors and container loaders at four U.S.
airports, including Cincinnati, Ohio, Dallas, Texas, and Northern &
Southern California.
Green Cubes Technology, along with a large eCommerce retailer and a
leading ground support equipment manufacturer, is powering the shift
from legacy lead-acid batteries to more sustainable and optimized
lithium alternatives. These lithium battery systems provide higher
equipment performance at a lower cost and dramatically reduce the
environmental impact of battery powered systems.
“We are proud to be a leader in the conversion to Lithium in ground
support equipment, a growing $7.5 billion market,” said Tony Cooper,
General Manager of the Motive Division of Green Cubes Technology. “With
higher efficiency, better performance and lower long-term monetary and
environmental costs, lithium can really transform the ground support
equipment industry, especially in cold environments.”
With Lithium SAFEFlex®, airports and equipment manufacturers can
retrofit pre-existing ground support equipment to mitigate startup costs
associated with converting battery systems. Simultaneously, these
battery systems require no watering or equalizing and provide true fast
charging, eliminating maintenance costs and time lost from swapping
batteries on a regular basis.
“With ground support equipment operating in every kind of climate
imaginable, it’s imperative to have a power solution that can withstand
extreme temperatures,” explained Cooper. “Lead-acid batteries simply
can’t maintain performance in cold environments, and maintenance costs
are extremely high. With lithium batteries, ground support equipment
operators will see longer lifecycles and increased charging efficiency
so equipment can optimize aviation operations, not hinder them.”
Designed to increase speed and efficiency, Lithium SAFEFlex® offers a
reliable and durable solution for any weather environment. With a
recharge efficiency of more than 98 percent, Lithium SAFEFlex® drives
electrical savings and ultimately reduces damaging effects of heating
batteries.
Green Cubes Technology’s customer will begin official use of Lithium
SAFEFlex® at these airports within weeks.
Senior executives from Green Cubes Technology will be available for
interviews during ProMat 2019. To meet with Green Cubes or for a demo of
one of its lithium battery power systems, please contact Kimberly Stier
at 404.408.8456 or email [email protected].
