Power Your Shift with the 8-8-8 Rule

For lead-acid forklift batteries, a steady rhythm helps protect performance:

8 hours run 8 hours charge 8 hours cool

That cool-down time matters. It helps limit heat buildup, protect battery plates, and support consistent power shift after shift.

A few smart habits help, too: avoid quick “top-off” charging, follow equalize charge recommendations, and monitor battery temperatures.

Run strong. Charge smart. Protect the pack.

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) conversion can be tempting when storage capacity is getting tight.

Before you tighten up your aisles, know what goes into the calculation—including truck turn radius, pallet dimensions, and any overhang. Even a few extra inches can affect safe operation and rack clearances.

Consider pick-up and deposit (P&D) stations to keep VNA trucks working within the aisles while other equipment handles pallet transport to and from staging areas.

A well-planned VNA system can improve storage density without sacrificing safe, efficient material handling.
