A sustainable idea
Odepresa contributes to the reduction of health and environmental risks by not sending toxic materials for final disposal in the short and medium term.
Current issues in companies
The 8×3 cycle is not met
Preventive maintenance minimals are not met
Bad operating practices in general
- Bumps, marks, filings, bent posts and bridges, burned material, fissures or cells with indications that they have been tried to open or repair.
- Electrolyte leaks or lack of it, electrolyte contamination, use of non- demineralized water. Inflated cells.
- Deep discharge of the battery (Discharge value less than 20% of total capacity of the battery).
- Operation by a non certified third party.
- Operation on equipment for which the battery was not designed.
- Operation under different external conditions for which the battery was designed.
- Exposure to excessive vibration.
- Electrical failures of the equipment where the battery is mounted.
Consequences
Operational and financial
Environmental impacts
It has been analyzed and concluded that in companies with a continuous operation of forklifts in shifts of 8 hours:
- Life of batteries is in a range of 1.5 – 3 years, very different from the 4 years manufacturer assumption.
- These batteries are dropped down to minimum percentages of efficiency that do not allow to sustain the 8 hours autonomy required by their work shift, becoming obsolete long before their useful life promise.
- A large percentage of batteries become unusable long before they reach their minimum work shift efficiency (8hrs), as a result of short circuited cells due to poor maintenance and operation.
- The costs generated by operation inefficiency, repairs or batteries spare parts are very high, affecting the budget and annual profits of the company.
- The company must be partially or totally replacing its battery fleet every 3 years at most. A battery has an average value of $ 2,500 US (FOB). Replacing the battery fleet partially or totally every 3 years (or earlier in most cases) is a very significant item for the company’s profit and loss statement.
- Overcosts generated by poor environmental practices or batteries final disposal are increased whenever there is a non expected issue with them.
More unusable batteries for any of the reasons described above, mean a greater volume of waste to be recycled over an increasingly tight time horizon, which means highs in alert rates due to:
- Air pollution by toxic emissions.
- Soil and water contamination by toxic spills.
- Health alerts in the population for possible anomalies in the handling, transport and final disposal of these residues.
- Increases in storage and informal recycling of toxic material parts, with all the risks that their improper handling entails.
- Increases in the country麓s toxic waste amounts for final disposal: even greater enviromental red alerts for the planet.
We should be working on reducing these risks, not increasing them.
Odepresa Renting generates very significant savings to companies, greater figures of efficiency, competitiveness and service, leading them to important worldwide standards and contributing with their status of Green Business Practices Companies.
