Concentric launched PowerHIVE in March

Dallas Innovates told you in March about Concentric’s launch of PowerHIVE, the first automated forklift battery and charger system that can reload a battery in just three minutes.

It provides on-demand, sustainable, and scalable battery power whenever it is needed, the company said.

Concentric said its newest innovation in equipment power management “marries automation with forklift battery systems”—eliminating the need to think about forklift charging or battery maintenance.
