Making the Move to Lithium
From fuel and electricity costs to sustainability initiatives, businesses have different reasons for managing their energy consumption. In the material handling industry, lift trucks—with their sheer numbers and substantial energy consumption—provide significant opportunities to make a difference on all fronts. By migrating your fleet to our purpose built lithium-ion batteries, you can see significant improvements on your operations.
It’s important to understand that not all lithium-ion batteries are created the same. Chemistries, manufacturing processes, materials and testing protocols will differ from offering to offering. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) offers assistance in navigating these complexities.
UL product testing and certification
As an independent third party, UL performs rigorous product testing to industry standards and evaluates compliance with externally specified product requirements. The testing helps to ensure the safety of products in today’s dynamic market. Products that bear the UL mark offer a measure of trustworthiness in the marketplace for companies.
There are many UL marks that communicate compliance of the products tested. Two of the most known are UL Listed and UL Recognized. If UL finds that representative product samples of lithium-ion forklift batteries have met standard requirements, either in full or with noted conditions of acceptability for the end product, then that product will carry a UL mark. UL marks are commonly found on thousands of product types, including those within the material handling industry.
When you're assessing lithium-ion batteries available in the marketplace, it’s integral to understand the differences among the industry markings that products are given. Here are key differentiators between UL Listed and UL Recognized.
UL Listed
A UL Listed mark is intended for end products and complete components suitable for factory installation. This marking indicates that a product has been tested by UL and meets nationally recognized safety standards.
A UL Listed product example would be a complete lithium-ion battery pack that has a mechanical enclosure and electronic circuit protection and that has demonstrated full construction and testing compliance to the standard’s requirements.
