TWO BRAND-NEW BATTERIES TO BE LAUNCHED FOR THE AWP MARKET

A Midlands-based subsidiary of battery manufacturer Leoch Battery, has launched two new batteries designed to fulfil the demand for use in the AWP sector.

Leoch Battery UK, which is based in Market Harborough, has added two new lead acid batteries which are extending the DT range that has already proved to be very popular with the industrial market, most of all for use in aerial work platforms. The two 6V batteries, DT-L16 420ah and DT-J305 330ah, have been created to offer this well-renowned series to a wider variety of machinery.

Chris North, Manager of Sales for Leoch Battery UK, said: “It was clear to us that there was a gap in the market for long-lasting, reliable batteries in the accessibility sector, so we began working on the designs for these two products.

“Whether you’re powering a scissor lift, cherry picker or boom, with the application being a major construction project or maintenance of industrial facilities, the requirements from a battery are very similar. Long life, ease of change and deep cycling are all imperative. They must be reliable and efficient.

“We’re delighted to launch these batteries and look forward to being able to help even more clients with their needs for batteries in the AWP sector.”

The two new products were showcased at the industry’s Vertikal Days event being held in May. Leoch Battery UK has exhibited their products and industry knowledge at the event for the last two years.

Leoch Battery International boasts 10 manufacturing plants across the globe and operates in the Network Power, Motive Power and Transportation markets. Their operations are backed by a total of 100 collective years of staff experience in the battery industry, supplying products for an impressive host of applications and markets, in both industrial and lifestyle categories.
