## American Battery Solutions Electrifies Marine Travelift’s Boat Hoists with Innovative Battery Technology
American Battery Solutions (ABS) and Marine Travelift have joined forces to revolutionize the boat hoisting industry. Their collaborative effort has resulted in the groundbreaking launch of the Marine Travelift E-Series boat hoists – a fleet of powerful, environmentally friendly machines powered by ABS’s advanced battery technology.
This innovative partnership combines the expertise of two industry leaders. Marine Travelift, renowned for its high-quality boat hoisting solutions, now offers an electric option that maintains the superior functionality customers expect. ABS, a leader in designing and manufacturing advanced battery systems, provides the crucial power source for this eco-friendly upgrade.
The Power Behind the Innovation: ABS’s 700-Volt Battery System
The heart of the E-Series is ABS’s state-of-the-art 700-volt battery system, entirely manufactured and assembled in the United States. This system seamlessly powers the hoist’s hydraulic functions, providing the same robust performance as traditional diesel-powered hoists, but without the harmful emissions. This represents a significant step towards a greener maritime industry.
Charging and Safety: A Focus on Efficiency and Security
Charging the E-Series is as straightforward as charging an electric vehicle. The system utilizes scalable DC fast-charging interfaces compatible with on-road electric vehicle chargers. A full charge can be achieved in just eight hours using the recommended 30kW high-speed smart charger, ensuring minimal downtime.
Safety is paramount. The E-Series incorporates multiple layers of safety features, including high-voltage junction boxes, an isolation monitor, fuses, and grounding straps. These features ensure both operator and battery safety throughout the entire operational cycle. A glycol cooling system regulates the batteries and electric motor, maintaining optimal operating temperatures even in diverse environmental conditions.
Features and Functionality: Uncompromising Performance
The E-Series boasts all the features found in Marine Travelift’s diesel-powered counterparts. The first E-Series machine is equipped with a range of options, including electronic all-wheel steering, a five-foot top beam extension, work/drive lights, and 2-speed hoists, ensuring the power requirements are tailored to various applications and optional configurations.
A Sustainable Future for Boat Hoisting
The Marine Travelift E-Series is more than just a new product; it’s a statement. It signifies a commitment to sustainability and efficiency within the boat hoisting industry.
