The Rugged, Full-Shift Power Source

​

With its Powerline® lead-acid battery, HAWKER® manufactures the most dependable motive battery in the industry. Built to last, Powerline® batteries keep you up and running all day and are suitable for a variety of applications, including sit-down rider forklifts, walkies and narrow aisle lift trucks.

​

To fully appreciate the quality, superior performance and durability of Powerline® batteries, take a closer look at the Powerline®’s design and construction. Features include:

• Thickest positive grid in the industry. The Powerline®’s super durable grids are matched to optimize current distribution through the grid network.

• Densest positive paste available anywhere. The heart and soul of the Powerline®, the grid’s plate is pasted with the most active material in the motive industry.

• Proprietary POWERPLUS™ formation system. To ensure that every cell receives a uniform, temperature-controlled acid bath, HAWKER® created its revolutionary acid recirculation and two-shot forming process.

• Multi-layer retention system. Active materials are safely contained by a vertical wrap, horizontal wrap, Koroseal jacket and sleeved separator, which are all encased in a bottom boot. In addition, wrapped plates are sleeved in a durable, microporous plastic material.

Powerline® battery benefits include:

• Minimal downtime. The Powerline® delivers long battery life, due to the positive grid’s tough, thick construction, which reduces corrosion and generates cooler battery operating temperatures.

• Long-life operation. Thanks to its dense positive pasted plate, Powerline® lead-acid batteries keep running with uninterruped power, even under deep cycling.

• Few to no battery failures. The battery’s sleeved separators in the multi-layer retention system eliminate failures due to separator misalignment.

• Reduced operating costs. By reducing downtime, extending battery life and eliminating battery failures, your operation remains up and running indefinitely.

The Power to Reduce Expenses

​

Ideal for medium- to heavy-duty motive power applications, Hawker’s Water Less® battery is a great option for operations that want to reduce time spent on and expenses associated with battery maintenance. The Water Less® battery’s proprietary grid metallurgy, water-saving sleeve separator material and vent caps help abate water loss, which typically reduces watering frequency from weekly to four to six times annually.

​

In addition, the performance of this low-maintenance battery is top notch. Full capacity Water Less® batteries operate at full 85, 100 and 125 capacities and were built to last. You can expect an estimated cycle life of 1,500 to 2,000 cycles, based on one cycle per day and 80% DoD.

Water Less® battery benefits include:

​

• Lower annual cost of ownership. When you combine purchase price with watering and regular maintenance costs, the Water Less® battery costs less to operate than standard flooded and VRLA batteries. (Based on Water Less® and standard flooded battery cycle lives of 5 years and VRLA cycle life of 3 years).

• Savings of 90% or better on watering expenses. Why spend extra money to water standard flooded batteries weekly, when Water Less® batteries only require watering four to six times per year?

• Less expensive and higher performance compared to VRLA batteries. Water Less® batteries cost less up front, while providing higher capacity and two more years of cycle life then VRLA batteries.

• No need to purchase a special charger. The Water Less® battery can be charged on a standard charger.

• Maintenance-free with a maintenance plan. Leave the watering and maintenance to us.

The Ultimate Power Source

​

When your operation depends on a heavy-duty battery – a battery that can stand up and deliver even under the most demanding applications – you can depend on the power of HAWKER® ENERGY-PLUS™ flooded lead-acid battery. For trucks that are operating in high-demand applications, making long runs and high lifts, and using attachments that require added power, the HAWKER® ENERGY-PLUS™ lead-acid battery is the battery that can keep them moving faster and working longer.

​

• UP TO 20% MORE ENERGY: ENERGY-PLUS™ delivers more active material than conventional batteries without an increase in tray size.

• LOWER OPERATING COSTS: The ENERGY-PLUS™ battery offers extended running time. Less change outs mean a reduction in spare batteries and chargers. And fewer batteries mean less watering maintenance, fewer batteries to charge, and less room required for battery storage space. Higher productivity and the need for fewer batteries mean a reduction in the total ownership costs.

• LONGER BATTERY LIFE: ENERGY-PLUS™ is designed with a balance of active material and acid volumes for higher energy AND longer battery life. The ENERGYPLUS™ battery maintains an estimated cycle life of 1,500-2,000 cycles, based on one cycle per day and 80% DoD. Longer life means less expense.

• LONGER WORK CYCLES: ENERGY-PLUS™ has a higher sustained voltage than any other battery in the industry. This means that your trucks move faster, work longer without recharging, and experience less motor wear caused by excessive amp draw.
