Extreme Temperature Challenges in Cold Storage? iMOW’s LFP Battery Proves Resilient
Cold storage operations are often the most challenging environments for material handling equipment. Freezing temperatures down to -20°C can cause the capacity of traditional lead-acid batteries to plummet, freeze hydraulic fluids, and increase the risk of mechanical component failure. However, iMOW Indonesia is here with a solution, bringing advanced electrical battery technology proven to be highly durable in extreme temperatures.
Based on direct trials at a cold storage facility owned by one of Indonesia’s largest seafood distribution clients, iMOW’s line of electric stackers and pallet trucks was able to operate stably without any significant drop in performance.
This success is attributed to the specialized technical specifications of iMOW units:
-
Automated Battery Heating System: iMOW’s Lithium (LFP) batteries are equipped with a thermal management system that ensures battery cells remain at optimal temperatures before and during use.
-
Waterproof & Condensation Protection: Key electrical components are protected by high-standard special sealing to prevent short circuits caused by frost or condensation as units move in and out of chilling areas.
-
Low-Temperature Lubricants: All hydraulic and mechanical components utilize specialized lubricants that will not freeze, ensuring smooth lifting and maneuvering.
“Previously, we had to swap batteries every 4 hours because the cold temperature caused the power to drop rapidly. Since using iMOW electric stackers, we can complete a full shift without interruption. This has significantly boosted our warehouse productivity,” revealed a Cold Storage Warehouse Manager.
iMOW Indonesia remains committed to providing specialized heavy equipment that answers the needs of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, which demand high cleanliness, reliability, and durability in even the most extreme weather conditions
