Advantages of the STILL fuel cell technology

MAXIMUM COMPATIBILITY

The innovative STILL fuel cell power pack was devised to perfectly fit the operation in a fork lift truck and its everyday work. The fuel cell power pack in the prototype RX 60-45 can easily be replaced by the standard RX 60 battery in the usual comfortable manner of changing the battery sideways as is standard in all RX 60 models.

This is made possible by the similar dimensions and the similar performance and the identical nominal voltage of 80V the of the battery and the fuel cell power pack:

	Fuel cell power pack	Battery 6PzS840
Dimension: Length	855 mm	855 mm
Width	1028 mm	999 mm
Höhe	784 mm	784 mm
Weight	1150 kg	2178 kg
Performance (Max. 15s)	30 kW
Performance (endurance)	10 kW	12 kW
Nominal voltage	80 V	80 V
Energy content	25 kW	50 kW

OVERVIEW OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THE FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY

No battery change needed.

If the hydrogen on board is consumed, a short stop at the filling station is enough to refill the tank and to continue with the work. The effort of changing the battery and the expensive backup with a second charged battery is not needed.

Only short interruptions of the work.

Refilling the truck with hydrogen only takes 5 minutes. This is an enormous advantage of the fuel cell over the conventional battery which takes hours to recharge.

Easy multi-shift operation.

Refilling the hydrogen tanks on the truck is enough to ensure multi-shift operation. Therefore it is not necessary to keep a second or third battery per truck and the respective financial means can be saved.

Full performance

The STILL fuel cell power pack supplies 80V nominal as long as there is hydrogen in the tank - unlike the voltage of a battery which continuously declines right after start of operation.

Clean energy

Operation of a truck with hydrogen does not cause any emission of pollutants. Neither sooty particles nor nitrous gasses nor carbon dioxide which could harm our environment or our climate are emitted. The only emission from the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen is pure water in form of steam.
