More Power to the Philippines
MHE introduces the country’s first Lithium-ion lift trucks motor pool
MHE, the material handling division of Jebsen & Jessen Technology has proudly inaugurated its Lithium-ion (Li-ion) lift trucks motor pool in the Philippines, marking a significant leap forward in sustainable logistics and warehousing operations within the Asia Pacific region. This first-of-its-kind initiative exemplifies MHE’s unwavering dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship, heralding a new era of efficiency and efficacy in material handling.
The motor pool will serve as the operational nucleus for the maintenance, repair, and servicing of over 40 forklift units, currently operational at the premises of Mactan Grains International Inc. Additionally, it will act as the primary charging station for reserve Li-ion forklifts, ensuring seamless material handling operations. To guarantee uninterrupted service, MHE has assembled a highly skilled and fully equipped service team dedicated to the facility, further enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
At the heart of this initiative lies the transformative potential of Lithium-ion technology. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, Li-ion batteries optimise forklift performance by delivering consistent power throughout their entire discharge cycle. With rapid charging capabilities that minimise downtime, these advanced batteries enhance productivity and operational flexibility, setting new standards for performance and sustainability in the industry.
Beyond the significant enhancement of existing machinery and technology, the motor pool embodies MHE’s commitment to empowering its workforce. Serving as both the hub for the service team and a comprehensive storage facility for spare parts, this investment provides employees with access to cutting-edge equipment and technology, underscoring our commitment to our people’s professional growth and well-being.
This milestone redefines the way truck fleets are being maintained and serviced. It stands tall as a mark of the business unit’s relentless pursuit of operational excellence and underscores our determination to pave the way for a more efficient and sustainable future. As we embark on this revolutionary journey, MHE reaffirms its commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility, and the well-being of its employees—setting the stage for continued success and growth in the years to come.
