Cover Story Lisa Curtis

Lithium-ion threatens Lead-Acid batteries dominance in material handling For decades, lead-acid batteries were one of the only games in town as a source of power for material handling equipment such as forklifts and pallet jacks. But rapid advances in technology are fueling a broader playing field, with options that now include lithium-ion batteries, thin plate pure lead batteries, repurposed lithium-ion products, and an additive that can double the life of lead-acid batteries.

Warehouse managers, meanwhile, simply want a power source that is affordable, maintenancefree and requires zero downtime. To be sure, lead acid is still the dominant battery in use in material handling equipment, primarily because of its affordability.

It’s also easier just to keep the status quo, said Maxim Khabur, marketing director at One Charge of Garden Grove, Calif. “The change requires energy and a capacity to embrace risk, so once the first-comers seize the most benefits, the rest have to follow after they realize they are losing on cost and effectiveness of operations,” Khabur said. “The change in charging pattern calls for new small chargers to be installed around the facility instead of getting them all into a ventilated charging room (not needed anymore), and however small the change is, it presents an argument for “not changing anything.”

But lithium-ion has been grabbing an everincreasing share of the material handling market in recent years, between 5% and 10% according to most estimates. Khabur said the benefits are numerous: • Higher uptimes. There is no need to swap the batteries mid-shift and they can charge quickly, under two hours, lasting through multiple shifts.

• Two to three times the cycle life of lead-acid batteries.

• Zero daily maintenance. There is no need to open batteries and top up electrolytes and no need to equalize the cell's charge, which is done automatically with an onboard battery management system in a lithium-ion battery.

• Up to 30%, lower electricity use, and lower daily energy costs compared to propane and diesel.

• Cleaner power, with no pollutants, no exhaust, no acid fumes or spills • Far lower labor and maintenance costs “Switching even one single lift truck from propane, diesel, or lead-acid battery to lithium will reduce the total cost of ownership in about four years,” Khabur said. “And a lithium battery will typically work far beyond that. But since the upfront cost of a single lithium battery is significantly higher than lead-acid, bigger fleets and more intense operations with multiple shifts per se see the highest output.

Kokomo, Ind.-based Green Cubes Technology has been manufacturing lithium batteries for more than three decades, originally for medical equipment, said Robin Schneider, Director of Marketing. Its lithium motive applications have been around for about 10 years, galvanized by the advent of electric vehicles. Schneider said they have been seeing 100% growth in the market annually for the past five years.

According to Schneider, there are two kinds of lithium-ion chemistries available: iron phosphate batteries (LFP): and cobalt-based lithium-ion batteries (NMC). The material handling industry has been favoring iron phosphate because it can be charged with a lead charger, deliver high-power, fast charge, and has a cycle life of 3,000 cycles or more. Schneider said one of the earlier adopters of lithium-ion batteries in material handling are in cold storage applications, warehouses that store food and beverages. “Lead-acid doesn’t operate well in really cold environments, like freezers.

There’s a lot of capacity loss and damage to the battery that happens,” Schneider said. “And also, they can’t be charged at cold temperatures, so you have to take the material handling equipment out of the freezer or inside if it’s an outside application in a cold area, and let the battery temperature equilibrate and then charge it.”

Making the problem worse, is the condensation buildup that occurs when taking the battery in and out of the freezer. Green Cubes’ lithium-ion

batteries have integrated heaters and, because they are “smart,” they have the technology to maintain the battery’s temperature in a safe operating range, Schneider said. But that is just the tip of smart technology. Schneider said that with IoT — Internet of Things — technology that is integrated into the batteries, allowing them to communicate their status to the cloud, each battery’s performance, such as how it is being charged, whether it’s being used properly, and whether it’s being underutilized, can be monitored. "You can load-balance the usage across different areas of your organization,” Schneider said. “So that’s really exciting because it’s all about efficiencies in material handling.”

Harold Vanasse, Senior Director of Motive Power Marketing for EnerSys, the largest industrial battery manufacturer in the world, said that more advances in integration are coming in the next two to three years. While the company produces lithium-ion batteries for a vast array of industries, including material handling, Vanasse said it is still fairly new in the marketplace. Lead-acid is still the predominant chemistry used because of its robust design, it is well understood and the batteries are 99% recyclable through a well-established recycling stream, he said. Traditionally the industry has used what is called a flooded lead-acid battery, which contains a liquid electrolyte of sulfuric acid that requires adding water every week to replace what was lost during the recharging process.

EnerSys manufactures what Vanasse called a “lithium-like” battery called thin plate pure lead (TPPL) that is less expensive than lithium, but maintenance-free — in other words, it doesn’t require watering. “There’s nothing you really need to do to them, other than charging them correctly and using them correctly,” he said. They also have extremely low gas emissions, a fast recharge rate, and a long cycle life. They cannot, however, be used in heavy-duty applications, whereas a flooded lead-acid battery can.

“They excel in light- to OHIO RACK medium-duty applications,” Vanasse said. “TPPL batteries We BUY & SELL are newer to the material Portable Stack Racks handling industry. They have Flexible Packaging introduced about 10 years NEW & USED ago, though EnerSys has 800-344-4164 been selling the technology Fax 330-823-8136 in other industries for over Email: ohiorack@cannet.com 30 years.

U.S. military tanks use our TPPL batteries.”

Vanasse said EnerSys works closely with each client to provide the product that best suits their needs, whether it be lithium-ion, TPPL, or traditional lead-acid batteries. “We do a lot of modeling when we work with a customer, to make sure they get the right battery, the right size battery, and the right type battery for their application,” Vanasse said. “We don’t want to have them figure out what they need. We do the math for them, so they are not spending more than they need, but they absolutely get the product they need.”

Yet another advancement in battery technology is available for those operations that want to hang onto their lead-acid batteries, but give them more life — not only in material handling operations but any industry that uses a lead-acid battery.

PowerBatt is a liquid additive that addresses the biggest problem with lead batteries, sulfation. “This is about chemistry,” said Christopher French, who owns the proprietary technology rights in the U.S. The technology has been in existence for over 10 years and in 15 countries, with French's Minneapolis-area company serving as a manufacturer and distributor for almost two years.

Many lead-acid batteries are simply sulfated, and that really is where we come into play.”

PowerBatt works by reversing battery sulfation and can double the life of a lead-acid battery and keep them operating at peak efficiency.

French said that savings of 60% or more have been documented. The product also increases the porosity and strength of active mass and eliminates brown mud. Other technologies, like pulse chargers, have tried to have the same effect, but French said they cannot completely de-sulfate a lead plate. They also create microfractures. “Our approach is completely different. The makeup of our product and how it reacts with the sulfate, that’s really the key,” French said, adding that PowerBatt dissolves the sulfate and rebalances the chemistry of the acid.

PowerBatt is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and, above all else, easy to use. “If they can water a battery, they can use our product,” French said. Their website includes testimonials from Toyota; CROWN; Jungheinrich; Linde Material Handling; golf courses that use PowerBatt on cart batteries; Ikea: and one Minnesota city that uses PowerBatt on their fleet of maintenance trucks. French said customers generally all have the same reaction: they are initially skeptical, but later

amazed at how it works. “It does exactly what we say it will do,” he said Lithium-ion battery recycling is still in its infancy, as most of that circulation still has life on them. But a market for that is expected to emerge very quickly. In the meantime, one northeast Ohio company is already carving out a niche by taking advantage of a battery and charger’s secondary life cycle. Arcon Equipment is a battery agent that provides service, repair, and reconditioning of used lithium batteries and chargers.

"There’s no better way to recycle than to reuse," said company president John L. Gelsimino, noting that no one has yet seen a large volume of lithium-ion batteries that are outside of their warranty. Arcon primarily works with three primary lithium battery brands: Flux Power, Blue Line, and Sunlight. They can step in after a leased forklift, electric truck, or other equipment is returned with a lithium battery that no one is quite sure what to do with, whether it works or not. They also accept and repurpose used chargers as well as take apart and recondition used batteries, all with support from the factories that manufacture them. It is a much more affordable option than buying a new lithium battery or charger, Gelsimino said. And the demand has been picking up quite nicely. For lower-duty cycle applications, reconditioned lithium batteries and chargers are worthwhile options instead of buying a new lithium battery or charger, Gelsimino said. “We are seeing demand increase for lithium and particularly for reconditioned lithium profile chargers,” he added.

Arcon Equipment works with truck dealers to help properly size batteries and chargers and also to provide and assist with lithium demos. Gelsimino sees growth in the secondary life cycle of lithium.

“Customers can send us their off-lease batteries, we inspect, cycle, and provide a report back on the condition of the battery. If there’s something wrong, we can quote what it will cost to repair the battery,” Gelsimino said. “Arcon Equipment has always been considered the expert’s expert for lead batteries and chargers. Lithium is just another battery chemistry that we specialize in.”

The Fickle Workforce Much has been written in the past decade about the demographic shift from “boomers” to “millennials”. I was born in 1959, which puts me squarely in the boomer category, and I, like others in this tenured industry, struggled to adapt to the priorities and motivations of the millennial generation.

When I entered this industry in 1983, I was determined to find my place, climb the corporate ladder, and stay put for the indefinite future. I stayed at my first dealership for seven years. My second post lasted 26 years. That’s what boomers do. They endure. Work is seen as a calling. Loyalty and legacy are important. Your occupation is connected with your identity. Work-life and personal life are intertwined.

Not so much with our millennial co-workers.

With rare exceptions, this group doesn’t really see work as a calling. Instead, work is viewed as a CONTRACT. “I’ll trade my hours for your dollars”. Work-life and personal life are mutually exclusive. Switching employers is predicated primarily on personal satisfaction. Millennials tend to grow tired of assignments that don’t interest them, or that don’t add to their personal development. Hence their tenure at any particular employer has noticeably declined.

A Bureau of Labor Statistics report issued in September of 2020 highlighted these differences: “Median employee tenure was generally higher among older workers than younger ones. For example, the median tenure of workers ages 55 to 64 (9.9 years) was more than three times that of workers ages 25 to 34 years (2.8 years).” 1 For employers, this shift represents a sea change in how staffing is administrated, and how workplace satisfaction is measured and aligned.

The investment costs in hiring, training, and retaining employees have not abated. In fact, not a year goes by where January 1st there aren’t multiple new federal and state regulations enacted that continue to challenge even the best HR professionals. Finding employees that want to work and have the right background is hard enough.

Keeping them seems to be even more difficult.

Enter the “gig” economy One of the ways the workforce is evolving is in the expansion of freelance “project” work.

This is colloquially known as the “gig” economy.

The most prevalent examples are on your smartphone right now. The success of Uber and Lyft shows the wide acceptance of itinerant work.

As the movement grew, project work became less of a “side-hustle” and more of a mainstream occupational reality.

Generation Z (people born after 1997), hot on the heels of the millennials, loves the autonomy and the freedom of expression that comes with not being tied to any single employer for more than a short while. They have the education and digital skills to be effective. They understand and are committed to the short-term “mission” because meeting mission objectives define their value for the next “gig”.

Freelance work is distasteful to most boomers as they came of age in a world that clung to the security of long-term employment. Most boomers will be able to finish out their career path without changing lanes, but for everyone born after 1970 … the working world of the 2020s and 2030s will see changes that nobody ever expected.

Can dealerships adapt to the gig economy format?

The distribution business will find it difficult to amend its operating model to utilize the gig workforce platform. Many of the resources we need to operate efficiently require the knowledge and experience that can only be accumulated over time.

Industries such as advertising, consumer goods, fashion, software, engineering, and medicine all offer ripe opportunities for project-driven initiatives, but the needs of distributors are unique and are best performed by a seasoned workforce.

So, we have a hill to climb. As we power into 2022 (and beyond), we will be faced with a transitory workforce. How can we make it LESS transitory? Here are some ideas.

We must resonate If it’s not meaningful, it won’t matter. We cannot expect assigned work to be a priority if it does not resonate personally with the employee.

How can we make a PM service resonate with a young technician? That sounds like a hard sell.

Actually, any task can resonate if we surround it with the correct motivational processes. I use the following flow chart to govern the process: Model Measure Report Reward Model: It won’t resonate if we “wing it”. We have to have a hard and fast written SOP for every task, whether it be timecard posting, work order processing, or PM completion. We simply cannot effectively and objectively assess performance if the standards are not understood!

Measure: How many were done correctly? How many were not? How can we improve? What tools, policies, or changes must be instituted to have a better process and a better score.

Example: In the case of PM’s, we will want to include the following measurements: • Additional maintenance services sold by the technician (trans, hydraulic, coolant, etc.…)

• Segment two repairs found and quoted • Completion of all work in the allotted time • No negative customer comments • Van cleanliness and housekeeping All of these metrics can be assessed as a point value and used to recognize the employee for both performance and improvement.

Report: In every case, a report showing performance toward a goal should be generated. Some objectives will be personal and kept between the manager and the employee. Other objectives can serve as a platform for competition. There should be personal goals and team goals in every department. The more that relevant reporting is discussed, the higher the chance that resonance will be found.

www.MHWmag.com

February 2022

Reward: Wages and salaries are what we pay an employee to be there and get the job done.

Rewards are paid for meeting specific meaningful goals both on the personal and team level.

This can be done with cash (through payroll), redeemable points, travel rewards, merchandise (Snap-On, gift cards), or even PTO. The rules are simple.

• Pay rewards NO LESS than monthly • Pay rewards PUBLICLY (during staff meetings) so that we can celebrate the wins • Use the success stories to bind the team together and build focus toward overall goals for the department or company.

Start out Right Retaining employees may also be predicated on the way we kick things off. Some are better at this than others. In general, however, management teams in mature industries tend to forget that new employees (as skilled and capable as they are), just don’t know what we know.

I see this all the time. A new employee shows up bright and early on the first day, and we, have the best-laid plans to educate them on our industry and how the dealership operates.

Then the phone rings……and the fires start……and our attention is pulled to the pressing matter of the moment.

Meanwhile, our new hire is trying to “muddle through”, not quite sure of what they have gotten themselves into. They end up learning by osmosis, and more often than not…making mistakes.

This does nothing for their confidence, and their chances of establishing resonance are very low. I know this because I’ve been that manager. There has got to be a better way.

One of my key business axioms is: “Education before Expectation”. If we try and hold people accountable for what they don’t know, they won’t last 2.8 months, let alone 2.8 years. When I entered the consulting business, one of the first programs I pioneered was what I refer to as Industry Onboarding. The word “onboarding” is usually connected with the HR process. This is where company manuals, health insurance, W-9’s, and workspaces are all dealt with.

Aftermarket continued

Industry Onboarding is different. “OK…. now you know about our policies…. but you still have no idea about”: • How do we do things in this business?

• Why does a dealership operate the way it does?

• Why do we need all of these departments?

• Who our target customers are?

• What our unique value proposition is • The financial tools we use • Equipment classes and applications • Power trains (including motive power) • Components (masts, tires, forks, attachments) • Jargon and acronyms (MFH, OAL, FFH, NMT, FTP, AGVS, AGM, VNA, TPPL, BDI, SCR, CAN-BUS, ECM, EGR, LBR, ITA, LPS, EE, PDI) We take these abbreviations for granted. How daunting this must be for a new hire that is looking for resonance. To give them a fighting chance, we must EDUCATE them.

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki

Where will you fit in?

Reading and watching CNBC (financial channel) on a regular basis gives you a surprisingly good idea of how you are going to get out of this economic craziness and get a handle on where you stand in your market post-pandemic. Future business activities are sure to be different calling for action on management's part, but it is sure tough to make a decision unless you know where to start.

One of the most interesting segments I saw on CNBC concerned Ford and Salesforce. They seem to be joining forces to help contractors get a better understanding of their business and identify where changes need to be made making them more efficient and more profitable. When you think about this it is a GREAT value-added program from Ford since a substantial number of the customers who buy the F-150 are in some sort of service or contracting business.

Is your management thinking along these lines as a means to drive continued sales to current customers, but also be a selling point to attract new customers because you have something they need that they are not getting from their current vendor?

Who could you team up with to do what Ford and Salesforce are doing? Think about this because there is a market share out there for somebody to take.

Along these lines, I hope you had a chance to read “Five Lessons Learned for the Post-Pandemic Supply Chain” that appeared in an MHW email recently. The Five Lessons are as follows: • Stay open to new and unconventional ways of doing business.

• Broadening networks; expanding connections; deepening relationships • Allocating resources to equipment and partnering with asset-based providers.

• Increasing inventory levels.

• Adding more storage space in multiple markets.

approach, and adding buffer inventory to carry you over the hump. Now you made not need to follow this approach, but I bet you have customers who should be thinking about these issues and what to do about them.

It seems to me that most lift truck dealers have customers with problems dealing with supply chain issues, inventory issues, labor shortages, logistic problems. payroll issues and Covid issues. They may also have issues with long-term contractors that are killing them because they are not using the equipment enough to warrant the cost. So, what help can you offer customers to ease their pain? Who could you team up with to reach this goal? Could you offer seminars or Zoom programs to cover some of these problem areas? Between you and your OEM, there have to be “solutions” available to stop the pain and at the same time strengthen relationships.

It is no secret that it is going to cost EVERYONE more to run their business whether they are maintaining reasonable sales levels or not. Even if they are running at 2019 sales levels their margins will shrink due to cost increases or pushback on price increases.

So, if you want to know your starting point for future planning, I think we could agree that your company along with most of your customers and potential customers are going to be dealing at some level with the problems noted earlier.

NOW, THIS IS WHERE YOU FIT IN Customers are going to listen to anybody that calls on them who can reduce their pain in terms of cost reduction or improved efficiency. And they are going to expect you to deliver those solutions.

So, you have two or three options to consider: • Lower your prices and live with it.

• Find ways to lower your costs to absorb the cost of the solutions you are providing.

• Find ways to assist customers in ways that you do not currently offer.

also found a partner to work with who can communicate the results of the solutions to the customers. And let us not kid ourselves, technology is going to be a big part of these solutions, and if you are not comfortable with that statement you will have to find “partners” who do and are able to collaborate with your customers.

To get you started in your own company I would like you to get a copy of your trial balance for the end of the year and examine each line item to determine if the revenue or cost is going to be impacted by Covid or supply chain issues, or payroll issues, or warehouse issues including receiving or delivering product. You will be amazed how often you will be saying “What the hell is in this account?” to your controller. Believe me, you will find costs no longer required or costs that can be reduced. When you finish this simple process costs will be reduced which in turn absorbs part of the solutions you have to offer.

Next, get a full list of current as well as former customers. Examine each company on the list to find those you must keep, those you would like to keep, past customers you would like to get back and new customers you would like to get. Now go down the list and find out where each of these current and former customers “stands” and ask what you can do to help. I bet you will generate a list of meetings with these companies and between you find ways to stop the pain or produce a plan to stop the pain. After all, your expertise is on the shop floor or in the warehouse environment, which covers many of the areas causing the pain.

My reading and listening are telling me that technology, AI, and VR are going to become part of the solutions customers to move ahead into the future. But knowing this and knowing where you currently “stand” I surely do not want any

Sales Trends Jeffrey Gitomer

A few sales closing tactics. Taking a new look at old ways.

“Jeffrey, how do you close, Jeffrey, how do you close?” I get asked that question more than any other. (“Jeffrey, why is your hair falling out?” is a close second.)

I keep giving the same answer, “Don’t close the sale, assume the sale.” The assumptive position is the strongest selling strategy in the world. By definition, you believe you will make every sale you attempt.

It sounds simple. It is simple but it’s not easy.

In order to utilize the assumptive close, you must be qualified. There are two major prerequisites that make the assumptive close possible: 1. Your personal preparedness. You must display self-confidence, have total product knowledge, have a positive mental attitude, exude so much enthusiasm that it’s contagious, have a desire to help that exceeds a desire to earn money, and have a genuine sincerity of purpose. If this is 110% you, you’re only halfway to assumption. Read on…

2. Your sales preparedness. There are three strategic areas of sales preparedness, and all must be in place to make assuming the sale possible. o The needs of the prospect have been determined, and are put ahead of yours. o You are established in the mind of the prospect as a person of character, credibility, and high repute. The prospect has confidence in you. o You have built a solid rapport with the prospect based on the personal information you’ve gathered, combined with your knowledge of his business.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Assuming the sale is a state of mind, it does not preclude employing the science of selling. Yes, you must, from time to time, use sales techniques, but it’s more a matter of word choice and delivery than trying to master some close that has a name. “The Benjamin Franklin Close,” “The Sharp Angle Close,” and “The Final Question Close” are all old-world methods of selling. These tactics will make people mad, or uncomfortable, or both. You may even occasionally make a sale but no one will ever refer their friends to go through the same ordeal.

20

www.MHWmag.com

February 2022

MORE IMPORTANT NOTE: The close of a sale is only one step in the sales cycle. You don’t just close a sale you lead up to a close. You earn the sale based on what you have said and done to guide the prospect to a decision.

MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: The actual close of a sale is a delicate balance between your words and actions, and the prospect's thoughts and perceptions. And a sale is always made either you sell them on yes or they sell you on no.

Here are six closing strategies and tactics that you might find effective: 1. Challenge the prospect to do what’s best for his business. This is kind of a guilt strategy.

Look the person in the eye and ask him what he thinks is best for his business. This strategy is great when he’s doing business with an existing vendor or friend, and they are not providing the best product or service.

2. We are experts at what we do and you can have peace of mind to do what you do best, knowing our part of your job will get done. Tell the prospect that you can help build her business by providing your service and partnering with them. Always let the prospect have a path to doing what they do best, and have peace of mind that your service will supplement that process on their way to success. This strategy is great for selling professional services.

3. Make a list of objectives for what the prospect wants to accomplish AFTER your product or service is in place. Your objective as a professional is to get the prospect to see the world as though the sale was already made. Forget about convincing them to do it that’s selling, no one wants to be sold. Show them what their world will be like after the sale – that’s buying, everyone loves to buy. This strategy works on every kind of sale.

4. Get the prospect to be a visionary.“Mr. Johnson, If you did __________, when do you think would be the best time to start?” Let the prospect tell you what he has in mind, instead of you telling him what’s on yours. This strategy is called the “if-when decision process,” and is great for selling equipment.

Sales Trends continued

5. Make the prospect commit to future action. The traditional method of accomplishing this is: “If I could… would you…” but today’s professionals can’t say that exactly, it sounds too salesy. This strategy must be worded more out of the conversation than a sales presentation. It must be delivered as a desire to help achieve an objective, not a pressure to make a sale.

6. Make plans for after the sale has taken place before the sale is consummated. Even if you don’t have the commitment yet, you can try to schedule an installation time or a meeting after delivery. “I can schedule the installation for Tuesday, but I wanted to be here personally to be sure that everything is perfect. Will you be able to make it?”

This is an indirect way of formalizing the sale, and classic use of the assumptive process.

Assuming the sale is the hardest process to prepare for but the easiest sale to make once you do.

American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) mobilizes in wake of December’s tornadoes As relief efforts begin for this weekend’s devastating tornadoes, the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) is preparing to work overtime – and asking members of the logistics community to be ready to help. ALAN has an active Disaster Micro-site where it features a list of its latest open requests, and it will be updating this site frequently as requests for post-tornado assistance arrive. If you’re looking for a tangible way to engage your employees in hurricane relief, pick a humanitarian organization and collect money for it instead.

Such donations will be much more useful and efficient, especially right now. And unlike many post-disaster product donations (which often end up in landfills), they will not go to waste. www.alanaid.org/operations/
