Introducing the Lithium Battery option for the MC-480, a revolutionary choice for those seeking enhanced performance, efficiency, and sustainability in their burden carrier. This version incorporates cutting-edge lithium-ion battery technology, delivering a range of benefits that redefine operational standards.

On busy airport tarmac, these electric utility vehicles are silent workhorses. They handle everything from baggage to heavy-duty ground equipment like ground power units (GPUs), air starts, bottle trailers, MX trailers, tire trailers, etc (up to 6,000 lbs). Their compact size and electric power allow them to navigate tight spaces around hangers and access even hard-to-reach areas around airplanes. They can even be customized with seats or compartments to become mobile crew shuttles or mini-supply trucks, delivering parts and tools directly to where they're needed most. Talk to one of our aircraft specialists about customizable options for this vehicle.

INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
Lithium-ion batteries elevate energy efficiency by offering a higher energy density compared to lead-acid batteries. This means more energy stored in a smaller space, resulting in extended operating times for industrial vehicles.

LONGER LIFESPAN:
Experience longevity like never before. Lithium-ion batteries outlast lead-acid counterparts, with a lifespan that can be 2-3 times longer with proper care. Say goodbye to frequent battery replacements and downtime for maintenance.

LONGER AUTONOMY:
Unlock a 20-40% increase in operating time with lithium-ion batteries. This not only reduces the frequency of battery changes but also allows for extended operation between charges, enhancing productivity and minimizing downtime.

FASTER CHARGING AND OPPORTUNITY CHARGING:
Lithium-ion batteries redefine charging dynamics. They can be charged more swiftly than lead-acid batteries, reducing downtime and boosting productivity. Take advantage of opportunity charging, allowing short bursts of charging during breaks or downtime without impacting overall battery lifespan, providing flexible and efficient charging options.

LOWER MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Experience virtually maintenance-free operation. Lithium-ion batteries eliminate the need for regular water topping up or equalization charging, ensuring a hassle-free and efficient operation compared to lead-acid batteries.

100% RECYCLABLE:
Make a sustainable choice. Lithium-ion batteries are 100% recyclable, offering an eco-friendly solution with a lower carbon footprint than lead-acid batteries. Choose not just efficiency but a greener future for powering industrial vehicles.

Upgrade your MC-480 to the Lithium Battery option and redefine your expectations for performance, longevity, and environmental responsibility.
