The latest addition to AeroVironment's proven family of
PosiCharge fast and opportunity charge systems, the ProCore Series
includes an extensive array of features that makes it easy to use,
flexible, customizable and cost-effective.
“AeroVironment PosiCharge systems established the industrial
fast charge market more than 15 years ago. Since that time we have
been reducing operating costs and increasing productivity in
high-velocity operations for Fortune and Global 500 factories,
distribution centers and warehouses throughout North America and
increasingly across the globe,” noted Ken Karklin, general manager
of AeroVironment’s Efficient Energy Systems business segment.
“Electric forklifts are playing an increasingly important role in
the global supply chain, and we remain committed to supporting our
customers’ material handling operations with the most capable,
reliable and effective charging solutions through our new premium
ProCore Series of chargers.”
A lightweight, powerful, highly efficient charger that consumes
minimal floor space, ProCore requires no specific training to
mount, install and update. Its colorful, digital display and mobile
app set a new standard for ease of use by enabling fleet managers
or forklift operators to configure ProCore chargers on the go.
Setting up, programming and troubleshooting ProCore chargers is now
quick and easy with an iOS or Android smart phone.
Operational flexibility reduces costs and improves efficiency,
and ProCore’s modular powerstage offers unprecedented flexibility
to accommodate any forklift fleet - from the smallest to the
largest operations. This modular design makes ProCore easy to
maintain, upgrade and repurpose, and its robust, single port
architecture makes it highly customizable. Additionally, PosiCharge
standard multivoltage capabilities allow different forklifts with
different batteries to charge on the same ProCore charger,
independent of type, brand, voltage or size.
AeroVironment's entire line-up of PosiCharge systems is designed
to deliver a measurable, positive impact on the environment by
reducing the total number of batteries required to operate a fleet,
and by improving the efficiency and performance of the battery
itself. The new ProCore Series enhances these features by
prolonging battery life and reducing downtime. ProCore protects
battery investments by enabling the battery and charger to “speak”
to each other, and is programmable for peak demand management. Its
patent pending, built-in ConnectRx connector health monitoring
technology promotes industry leading operational safety by
detecting abnormalities during charging and alerting users to
possible problems while shutting down the charge session to protect
valuable equipment and personnel.
ProCore will be available in March 2016. AeroVironment will
display the ProCore line at the Modex Show, April 4-7, 2016 at the
Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta at booth number 1463.
