DC/DC Converters for Material Handling Equipment and Electric Forklifts: Efficient Energy Solutions for Intralogistics

Context and Background

In today’s intralogistics, material handling equipment is essential for efficient warehouse management. From forklifts to pallet trucks and electric lift trucks, these vehicles form the backbone of optimized material flow. Our specially developed DC/DC converters provide cutting-edge solutions tailored to meet the demanding requirements of this industry.

Material handling equipment faces unique challenges in power supply. These systems require robust, efficient, and compact solutions capable of withstanding harsh operating conditions found in warehouses and production facilities. Our DC/DC converters are engineered to excel in these environments, offering significant advantages for operators.

With efficiency ratings of up to 99%, our DC/DC converters maximize battery usage, resulting in longer operating times and fewer charging cycles. This enhancement not only boosts productivity but also reduces overall battery costs. Designed for durability, our converters are built to endure extreme vibrations, shocks, and temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for the rigorous demands of material handling equipment.

Ultra-Wide Input Voltage Range: One Device for Multiple Applications

Manufacturers of material handling equipment utilize battery systems with varying voltages to meet different power requirements. However, these machines typically require a consistent supply voltage, usually ranging from 12VDC to 24VDC. For companies managing fleets of material handling vehicles, this can complicate maintenance and inventory, as multiple converters may be necessary for spare parts.

Our wide-range DC/DC converters, such as the 154DH-12-ON providing a stable 12VDC output and the 154DH-24-ON offering 24VDC, simplify this process. With just one device, all input voltage ranges can be efficiently managed, allowing for streamlined operations and reduced downtime.

The Galvanic Solution for 24VDC, 48VDC, and 80VDC Supply Systems

Galvanically isolated, robust, climate-proof, strong in EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), and unbeatable in MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) - the DC/DC converter 755-24-SD is designed for different transport systems with higher power requirements. It is both current-regulated (CC) and voltage-regulated (CV), meaning this DC/DC converter can be used as a DC/DC battery charger. With an ultra-wide input voltage range of 18VDC to 110VDC, it is particularly suitable for 24V, 48V, and 80V supply systems.

Currently, cable connections are implemented. With PU potting, this DC/DC converter is the perfect solution for material handling equipment that must withstand vibrations, shocks, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Thanks to its compact design, low weight, and high efficiency, the DC/DC converter 755-24-SD is successfully used in electric forklifts. Material handling equipment is constantly exposed to temperature fluctuations and harsh environments, which is why our devices are designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C (without power derating).
