## American Battery Solutions Revolutionizes Boat Hoisting with Electric Series
The future of boat hoisting is here, and it’s electric. American Battery Solutions (ABS), in collaboration with Marine Travelift, has unveiled the groundbreaking E-Series boat hoist, a game-changer in the marine industry. This innovative model seamlessly blends ABS’s advanced battery technology with Marine Travelift’s renowned hoist functionality, setting a new standard for clean, efficient, and safe boat handling.
This partnership marks a significant leap towards sustainable marine practices. The 50BFMII (50MT capacity) E-Series hoist is powered by ABS’s domestically manufactured 700-volt battery system, eliminating the need for polluting diesel engines. This system efficiently powers the hoist’s hydraulic functions, delivering the same exceptional performance as traditional diesel-powered hoists, but with zero emissions. This translates to a significantly reduced carbon footprint, making boat maintenance more environmentally responsible.
Charging the E-Series is incredibly convenient and safe. It utilizes scalable DC fast-charging interfaces, mirroring the technology found in electric vehicles. A full charge can be achieved within eight hours using the recommended 30kW high-speed smart charger. This fast charging minimizes downtime, ensuring maximum operational efficiency.
Beyond its eco-friendly power source, the E-Series boasts a comprehensive suite of safety features, exceeding industry standards. From high-voltage junction boxes and isolation monitors to fuses and grounding straps, multiple layers of protection safeguard both operators and the battery system during every phase of operation. Furthermore, a glycol cooling system regulates both the batteries and the electric motor, maintaining safe operating temperatures across diverse conditions. This meticulous attention to safety underscores ABS and Marine Travelift’s commitment to providing a reliable and secure operation.
All the features valued in Marine Travelift’s diesel-powered hoists are retained in the E-Series. The first model showcases options such as electronic all-wheel steering, a five-foot top beam extension, work/drive lights, and 2-speed hoists, ensuring optimal power management for diverse applications. This versatility caters to a broad range of boating needs and sizes.
This collaboration between ABS and Marine Travelift represents a significant advancement in the marine industry, demonstrating the power of innovation and commitment to environmental sustainability. The E-Series isn’t just a boat hoist; it’s a statement about the future of clean and efficient marine technology.
