Industrial Forklift Charging Installation

Our recent project at MAERSK, East Midlands, exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality industrial electrical installations. The project involved the installation of a new 250A three-phase distribution board, which was connected to an existing panelboard. This connection was made using a 95mm 4-core SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) cable, ensuring reliability and safety in the high-demand environment of MAERSK's warehouse operations.

Installing Forklift Chargers

From the newly installed distribution board, we extended five new three-phase circuits. Each of these circuits is dedicated to a 32A three-phase forklift charger. These chargers are essential for the day-to-day operations at MAERSK, ensuring that the fleet of forklifts is always ready for use.

At AJF Electrical, our forklift installation services guarantee a stable power supply that minimises downtime and enhances productivity for the industrial market.

Future-Proofing with Metal Containment

In addition to the installation, we designed the metal containment work to accommodate future expansion. The containment system, which houses the new circuits, has been engineered to allow for the installation of an additional five chargers. This foresight ensures that MAERSK can easily scale up their operations without the need for significant further electrical work.

The successful installation at MAERSK, East Midlands, stands as a testament to our expertise in industrial forklift charging installations. Our commitment to quality, safety, and innovation ensures that AJF Electrical is renowned as a trusted partner for industrial electrical projects.
