1. State of Charge Display

Knowing exactly how much energy is left in a battery can be tricky. It doesn’t have to be. We provide every Power Traction system with it’s own display so you don’t have to guess anymore. And, if you don’t need the system, send it back to us for re-cycling and re-use.

2. Tracking

Information is power. Power to optimize your business and deliver better service. With Power Traction Tracking, you will always know where your equipment is located, how fast it is driving, the route it has followed during the day, the current state of charge… the list of information available to you is extensive. Ask us how Power Traction Tracking can improve your business performance.

3. Counterweights

All of our Products weigh a fraction of their lead-acid battery cousins. Less weight means your equipment drives further on a charge and experiences less wear and tear on tires, motors and chassis. In a nutshell, less weight reduces maintenance costs and prolongs the life of your equipment. Sometimes, however, our customers need the full drawbar pull of their equipment. We therefore offer a variety of counterweights to meet your drawbar pull and towing capacity needs. Our flexible solution allows you to take control and optimize the ballast in your fleet to balance best fleet economics with fleet load hauling requirements.

4. System Activator

The Power Traction family of products are active systems – Electronics constantly monitor the status of the battery. There are times, however, when the system might need to be stored for an extended period or shipped. Our System Activator will put the Power Traction to sleep allowing you warehouse the system for up to 12 months without charging.
