Bringing Li-ion to material handling markets

As lithium-ion power becomes more common in material handling industries, companies providing the batteries are working through current supply chain logistics and within the rare materials markets to get Li-ion power to customers.

And some say they foresee the demand for lithium being strong through 2023.

Green Cubes Technology is a business that develops and manufactures “safe and reliable electrification solutions that enable customers to transition from lead acid and internal combustion engines to lithium-ion battery power,” according to Robin Schneider, director of marketing. She said Li-ion batteries improve operational efficiency because the batteries can be fast charged and last “for thousands of cycles, allowing a single battery to support a truck operating 24/7.”

Green Cubes, which Schneider said utilizes proven hardware and software platforms to build reliable lithium power solutions for the material handling industry, has over 300 employees across six countries. The business has been producing “innovative, high-performance and highquality power solutions” since 1986, according to Schneider. She said procuring electronics for the company’s products is a challenge in the current market. “As in most industries, we are experiencing issues securing electronics that provide safety and intelligence for the battery management system. While this is presenting a challenge to our team, for the most part, our batteries are purchased along with new industrial trucks and the truck lead time is longer than the lead time for the battery,” Schneider said.

Green Cubes also manufactures Li-ion battery chargers and the lead time for those is much shorter, according to Schneider. She said the company projects increased demand for Li-ion batteries in 2023 since the value proposition is “now widely recognized in the industry.”

“Increasingly, we see large enterprise customers replacing lead-acid batteries in existing fleets over the course of a few years,” said

Schneider, who noted that Green Cubes is a charger member of the new Advanced Energy Council. The council is “a working group within MHI which will help this nascent industry develop standards and collect industry-wide data trends,” Schneider said.

At BSLBATT, lithium-ion technology solutions are both designed and manufactured, according to Haley Ning, marketing manager, who dubbed the business a “fast-paced, high growth and high-tech company.”

“Our battery packs are used to power industrial and commercial equipment,” said Ning, noting forklifts, renewable energy equipment, and new applications like golf carts, floor machines, marine, and mobile elevated work platform stations as examples. “The company takes the development and production of advanced series BSLBATT best solution lithium batteries as its mission,” Ning said.

One issue in the business in recent years has been the price of lithium carbonate, according to Ning. “Since 2021, the price of lithium carbonate has soared about 10 times based on 2020 prices. No one expected prices to fluctuate so much,” said Ning, who said the price shifts have been attributed to a mismatch between supply and demand.

The price fluctuation of the commodity lithium is in line with the development of the industry and is expected to ease within two to three years, according to Ning. “Electric vehicles and energy storage are the main drivers of global lithium demand. In order to accelerate the promotion of zero-emission vehicles, countries have increased policy support and government subsidies for new energy vehicles,” said Ning, who said the acceleration of transportation electrification has driven the rapid expansion of lithium battery production capacity.

The dual demand for energy storage and new energy vehicles has translated to global lithium resources being tight, according to Ning. “In addition, due to the complex mining process and long cycle of iron ore and lithium ore, the

increase in production capacity of upstream mining companies often lags behind the growth of downstream demand,” Ning said.

However, price increases must have an upper limit as new energy and energy storage systems bring sustainable energy to more users around the world, according to Ning, who noted that reducing costs and increasing production will go hand-in-hand. BSLBATT puts “quality first” and has a layout of overseas offices and warehouses in the U.S., offices in Europe, and the establishment of a BSL factory in Mexico, according to the business.

The locations are “all aimed at delivering high-quality products to our customers quickly. In addition, we strive to create value for global customers and partners and seek to grow together with them,” Ning said. Products associated with batteries have also seen a high demand recently.

Valley Industrial Battery sells many battery slings designed for safety, according to Kenny Strong, the company owner. “We sell a ton of those slings,” said Strong, who said the slings are rated for up to 5,000 pounds. He said the slings,

which include rubber-coated hooks, prevent conducting electricity and can be operated by one person.

The slings themselves weigh just four pounds at shipping. “That includes the box,” said Strong, who said the product presents a safer alternative to steel chains for battery changing.

“Basically, a guy if he’s going to do an install, he’s not lugging in a 150-pound battery or a rusty old chain,” said Strong, who said the business has been selling the slings for the past four to five years. “We sell them all over the country,” said Strong, who said the business has never had a supply chain issue with supplying customers with slings.

“It’s a very basic product. When we’ve got a customer who is apprehensive, we just send a demo. Knock on wood, they’ve never sent them back,” Strong said. “They’ve always kept them and ordered more.”

Whose customer is it anyway

Electrification in the material handling industry, electrified equipment, and fleets, are not just ‘buzz’ words anymore as much as they are business trends within our industry. As we continue to see this increasing trend of electrification of forklift fleets across our industry, many dealers and independent service providers are embracing this as part of their business strategy. They must also understand and be educated on environmental regulatory changes that will affect our industry and adjacent industries in the years to come.

If you recall what I wrote in last month’s edition, many businesses now have dedicated departments and positions for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). Some may be instituting corporate policies around environmental issues such as air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and compliance with government environmental regulations. For example, The California Air Resources Board wants to “accelerate the transition to zero-emission to meet the state’s air quality and greenhouse gas reduction goals. They are currently developing a measure that would drive the greater deployment of zero-emission forklifts within fleets throughout the state; one of several near-term actions intended to facilitate further zero-emission equipment penetration in the off-road sector. This measure is scheduled for Board consideration in 2023.” Keep in mind; they already passed legislation requiring all new cars sold in the state by 2035 to be free of greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide.

Just this past December, the Material Handling Industry (MHI) launched a new Industry Group, the Advanced Energy Council (AEC), focused on advanced energy solutions including lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and other technologies and accessories. As stated on the MHI website, “The group’s mission is to uplift and promote the safe use and adoption of advanced energy technologies in motive material handling applications by advancing sustainable motive material handling energy solutions.”

The rental equipment industry is also embracing these regulatory impacts as they look

to provide customers with higher efficiency, lower emission, and alternatively fueled rental equipment. In particular, with their MEWP rental fleets, many of the MEWP OEMs have introduced fully electric models, as well as incorporating lithium-ion battery technology too. The end-customer they rent to, particularly on job sites, must adhere to stricter emission and noise standards.

So what does this all mean to the sales of aftermarket parts and service for forklifts? Well, in general, electric forklifts tend to last longer than internal combustion trucks because they have fewer parts. Having fewer replaceable parts, means fewer service and maintenance requirements, translating to fewer service and parts dollars available to capture for the lift truck service provider. Enter the additional ‘solution’ to the full-solutions provider lift truck dealership. Optimizing forklift battery management is a value-added service to the end customer that dealerships are recognizing as another revenue stream.

In the traditional model, the dealership sells the truck to the end customer and the battery agent sells the battery through the dealership. This raises the question, who owns the customer relationship and the customer experience? Furthermore, who owns the forklift battery management after the sale of the new or used forklift? As I have stated previously, modern lift truck dealership and independent service provider has evolved as they look to be a full solutions provider for all of the needs of their customers. Adding sales and service of everything in the warehouse, including forklifts, personnel burden carriers, sweeper scrubber equipment, racking, dock and door, warehouse management systems, etc. Promoting the ‘one-stop shop’ full-service offering and delivering outstanding customer service, the forklift battery management is now being considered an addition to that same ‘onestop shop’ offering.

Today, battery manufacturers are sometimes more than just a manufacturer; they also provide after-sales support to their dealers for the forklift

batteries, chargers, and accessories that they produce. Many of these battery manufacturers have existing strategic partnerships with OEMs. The rise of lithium-ion battery manufacturers has also led to an increase in strategic partnerships with said manufacturers and OEMs.

Over the past few years, many dealerships have started to acquire forklift battery agent businesses or ventured on their own to provide full forklift battery solutions for their customers. Solutions include industrial chargers, battery maintenance, used and reconditioned batteries, battery and charger rentals, and battery parts and accessories. This is a trend that I feel will continue to be on the rise. This trend will put the battery agents and the OEM dealers in an interesting situation. As with the sale of a lift truck, the recurring revenue is in the parts and service after the sale of the lift truck as is the same for the sale of a forklift battery, there is more money in the service.

The threat to the traditional OEM-Dealership model is the third-party service provider as they have already shifted their business strategies to

attempt to capture a competitive advantage in the market. As with dealerships, the third-party service providers have also started racking up acquisitions in the full-service forklift battery management space.

If the trend in automotive does mirror itself into the off-road equipment sector such as the forklift industry, what will the impact be on your business and your market? Everything from the diagnostics to the parts consumption are factors that will have an impact on your service departments. The revenue in the sale and service of forklift batteries while maintaining and monitoring them for consistent, reliable performance and long service life is the value to the end customer regardless of who provides the battery service as it is a crucial part of the uptime of their electric forklift fleet. The question is who owns this customer and the customer experience?

Keep them short

Keep your planning process short. From what I see this is a must regarding 2023 and maybe even 2024. The plans I am suggesting for 23 have accounted for not more than three months. You work that plan and while you are doing so you add a month to the three-month plan and subtract the month just completed. You really don’t want to wait until the middle of month 3 to devise the plan for months 4. 5 and 6. You just keep adjusting to having three months on the drawing table at the end of any month.

Why am I suggesting this? BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR, IT IS STILL SCREWED UP OUT THERE AND WILL PROBABLY BE SO FOR 23 AND INTO 24. Last month's article by Allen Polk kind of spelled it out for you. The supply chain is still not fixed. Pricing is out of control. The OEM backlog is still not under control. Interest rates doubling over the last year. Customers with needs and problems you cannot solve at this time. Add to that the labor shortage and the need for technology and you find yourself in an almost impossible situation putting a gameplan together.

But there is some good news to share as well. If you recall, I recommended a book titled THE END OF THE WORLD IS JUST THE BEGINNING, which basically maps out the collapse of Globalization written by Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical strategist. It basically spells out the history of the world economy and Uncle Sam’s involvement in protecting globalization as a result of increasing the standard of living throughout the world. But now that the USA is no longer finding globalization to be as profitable or useful as anticipated. The result is that many countries that build up an economy because of globalization will find their economy shrinking without a meaningful way to reverse the downfall.

On the other hand, those countries hoping to continue to produce and grow their CDP numbers will need to

have a certain availability of energy resources, land able to grow all the crops needed, industrial centers where the work can be performed and a population with flexible pay grades to allow for product costs acceptable to the market. Mr. Zeihan suggest that the best location in the world where this program could be developed was the space occupied by Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Working together these three countries will control the world's economy. THAT IS GOOD NEWS FOR YOU AND IT IS COMING FASTER

THAN YOU THINK. MANUFACTURING, HERE WE COME!

As I was reading the book, I could spell the lube oils, hear the milling machines operating, and see the steel bars waiting to be processed. This was at my father’s Machine shop. All when well until the time we started allowing foreign steel into the country. When the price of domestic steel alone was more than the full cost of our products made with foreign steel ….globalization put us and many friends out of business. Now the collapse of globalization is going to put the US back on top of the Manufacturing Hill and take the lift truck industry with it.

Buy the book, read it, pass it along and start planning how to get your piece of this pie.

Since I do a lot of work with construction equipment and how it is used by contractors, I looked over the Dodge Report for 2023. And guess what? Expect housing and warehouse construction to be down, and manufacturing buildings to be up. MANUFACTURING, HERE WE COME!

As we plan ahead let us not forget: Some inflation will reverse, and some will not. Many prices will move up and stay there. Remember, you have FIXED COSTS, SEMIFIXED COSTS, AND VARIABLE COSTS. Are you prepared to adjust costs and billing to maintain margins?

Labor costs will stick and even go higher because there are few eligible folks out there to

hire. Better review your entire employee package for techs and tune it up so that they cannot leave.

94% of CEOs are planning for a recession in 2023. Hopefully, it is a normal recession (forget the soft landing) where inflation remains high and the Fed keeps hiking to 5% or more, with unemployment heading up and GDP down. Do not assume it will be business as usual in Q2 of 23.

Customers need equipment. How about selling them refurb units? Or renting them refurb units. Or refurbing their units with them providing the core. Refurbs work and can be quite profitable for both dealers and customers. A recent email I saw about a contractor that gave his old pickup to a place that refurbs it in 3-4 weeks with a new drivetrain, interior, and parts as necessary replaced. It is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new one.

There are probably many firms out there that do not want to own and operate their lift trucks. Work out a deal to manage their fleet.

If there ever was a time to belong to a 20 Group, it is now. Believe me, with what you have on your plate, 15 heads are better than one when it comes time to plan for Q1 23.

What is the reality of selling? The way you do the things you do

Jeffrey, what’s the easiest way to make a sale?

Jeffrey, what’s the best way to make a sale?

Jeffrey, what’s the fastest way to make a sale?

Same answer: there is none. There is no easy, best, fast way to make a sale. There are a million ways to make a sale but it’s not with a method or system. There are elements that get you there.

Here are 13.5 strategies and principles (elements) that will help you get to the substitute for an easy, best, fast way to make a sale – a way to earn the sale.

1. As in life, you start with a philosophy. Mine is…I give value first, I help other people, I do my best at what I love to do, I establish longterm relationships with everyone, and I have fun (and I do that every day). What’s yours? Do you have one? Your core philosophy is what drives you into the sale, and leads the prospect to an understanding of why you’re there.

2. The most important word in selling is YOU. Prospects don’t buy products and services. First, they buy salespeople. The first sale that’s made is “YOU.” Are they buying you?

3. Know “why you’re selling”, know your own WHY first. Your “why” supports and strengthens your belief system. When “why” is clear, everything is clear. NOTE: Your real why maybe 3 or 4 “why’s” deep. Why are you in sales? “I’m in sales to make more money.” Why? “I need more money to support my family.” (closer) Why? “Two of my kids start college in the next two years, and I want them to be able to choose a school based on the quality of education not the price of education. (Aha! the real “why!”) Before you can affect others, you must get real with yourself. Do you know your real why?

4. The sale is in your head. The mindset by which you approach the sale will determine its outcome more than any other element of the selling process. Do you think “yes”?

5. Develop a belief system that can’t be penetrated. Believe in your company, your product, and yourself, or you won’t sell. Do you believe in you?

6. Develop a selfish attitude about being the best. Know who the most important person in the world is you. Unless you’re the best you can be for yourself, you’ll never be the best you can be to serve others. Don’t cheer for athlete’s cheer for yourself. You deserve it. Are you always striving to be your best?

7. Be your own Santa Claus. Provide your own gifts and toys. Give yourself whatever you want. Most of us don’t get what we want for Christmas unless we tell someone what we want or if you’re like me, go buy it yourself. For me, every day is Christmas, know why? I deserve it. What gifts have you given yourself?

8. Know “what you sell” in terms of the customer not in terms of you. People don’t care what you do unless they perceive it helps them. The way you explain your business and product determines the buying interest you create say it in terms of the prospect, not your company. Are you selling, or are they buying?

9. Sell it as if you were selling it to your own son or daughter. Give advice with it, help learn it, and the advantages of using it. Protect them. Who are you selling to?

10. Know your competitive advantages; learn them from your customers. The definition of competitive advantage is something that’s extremely important to your customers at which you excel (competitive advantage has nothing to do with the competition). Do you know your competitive advantages?

11. People buy for their reasons, not yours. Find out theirs first. Establishing their “why” is the basis of determining their true need(s). When you’re presenting, is it more than 50% about them?

12. Ask the wrong questions, and get the wrong answers. The way you question will determine the way you sell. Refine yours every week, until their power is evident by the increase in your sales. Any questions?

13. Develop and ask questions that make the prospect think about themselves and answer in terms of you. Make them evaluate new information. Get them to give you answers

in the form of information about themselves in terms of your product or service. What questions are you asking?

13.5 Transition from a salesperson to a resource. Become valuable. The more value you bring, the higher you’ll go. To become valuable, you must give value first to make the prospect perceive greater value than price, quality, and service. If two people offer the same product at the same price and give the same service, the one with the greater perceived value wins. How much value do you bring to your prospects and customers?

Selling is a never-ending learning process. There is no one way to sell. If you seek to master the science of selling, you must master the elements one by one. Learn one a day and in five years, you will be the master of more than 1,000 elements and still take weekends off.
