WALMART GETS FUEL CELLS

Alberta, Canada…

Crown Equipment Corporation, one of the world’s leading forklift manufacturers, has delivered a fleet of fuel cell powered PC 4500 pallet trucks to Walmart of Canada. The machine, equipped with a Plug Power GenDrive system, is the industry’s first pallet truck to be designed specifically for fuel cells.

The newly designed truck incorporates controls and gauges for the fuel cell into the dashboard of the truck for operator convenience. Normally, these controls and gauges, such as a fuel-level indicator and a start/stop button, are located on the fuel cell itself. Crown began fuel cell power research in 2005.
