WinCo Foods LLC’s 800,000 square foot grocery distribution center in Modesto uses 184 Plug Power fuel cell forklifts starting back in 2012-2013.

Excerpt from the above link:

WinCo material handling units being fueled by Air Products include Plug Power’s (NASDAQ: PLUG) GenDrive hydrogen fuel cell power units. These systems can be quickly refueled in minutes, eliminating the need to change, store, charge, and maintain multiple lead acid batteries for each lift.

Hydrogen-powered equipment only needs refueling once or twice daily, depending on use, and does not require change-out downtime. It provides consistent power strength during use and does not experience decreased performance or weardown. Unlike battery-powered forklifts, hydrogen-powered fuel cells are not adversely impacted by temperature when operating in coolers and freezers. Hydrogen-powered equipment is more environmentally friendly and does not involve lead-acid battery storage or disposal issues.
