Solar technology provider Go Power! has released its Dual Charging System (DCS), which is made for charging both liftgate and pallet jack batteries. Its key component is the Auto Switching Power Control unit, allows the DCS to automatically switch from charging pallet jacks to liftgates, depending on what is plugged into the unit.

Go Power! touts the fuel saving capabilities of the DCS, noting that it eliminates the need for idling while operating a liftgate.

“The idea for the dual purpose solar charging kit stemmed from a consistent problem that customers presented us with: electric pallet jacks that had trouble making it through the day, and liftgate batteries being prone to failure,” said Sean O’Connor, business development manager for the Go Power! work truck division. “When we saw this was a widespread issue, we aimed to create a solution that would provide a charge throughout the day to both battery banks that was easy to install and practical for use in the field.”
