By vehicle type — Forklifts & pallet trucks

Contactless charging for fleets of forklifts and pallet trucks.

On a dock or in a storage aisle, every electric forklift or pallet truck immobilized for a full charge is lost capacity. EV-WAVE recharges the fleet in small doses, at every rest point or waiting spot, with no cable to plug in and no socket to keep an eye on.

Forklifts

The weak point of forklifts: long stops on a wired charger.

Conventional wired chargers require a manual connection, a full charging time and several hours of immobilization — often at the end of a shift, when the fleet is under the most pressure. Every cable unplugged too early, poorly engaged or damaged by the repeated passage of trucks is a source of breakdown.

The EV-WAVE wall-mounted station sits at a natural passing point of the forklift — aisle exit, waiting station, driver break area — and transfers energy as soon as the vehicle approaches, with no handling at all.

  • Opportunity charging between two missions, no plugging in
  • No cable exposed to impacts and repeated traffic
  • Wall installation, compatible with combustion trucks converted to electric

Electric pallet trucks

Pallet trucks always ready, with no dedicated charging bay to monitor.

Electric pallet trucks run short cycles all day long, with many stops between two pallets. It is precisely these micro-stops that EV-WAVE inductive charging exploits: the pallet truck tops up its energy as soon as it parks near the station, with no extra step for the operator.

Misalignment tolerance removes the constraint of millimeter-precise positioning, often hard to achieve with a pallet truck maneuvered quickly in a narrow aisle.

  • Automatic charging at every stop between two pallets
  • Misalignment tolerance during quick maneuvers
  • No dedicated charging bay to reserve or clean

Forklifts and pallet trucks in the field

Use cases

Where heavy-handling fleets run without interruption

Loading docks

Forklifts parked waiting for a truck, recharged without tying up a dedicated charging bay.

Storage aisles

Electric pallet trucks recharged at every waiting point in the aisle, between two pallet picks.

Multi-shift fleets

Forklifts and pallet trucks active across several shifts, where every scheduled full charge costs availability.

Compatible with forklifts & pallet trucks

A wall-mounted station, designed for heavy handling.

Fixed to the wall at the height of the vehicle's charging point, the EV-WAVE station covers the battery voltage range used by the vast majority of electric forklifts and pallet trucks on the market, without depending on a single manufacturer.

Power100 W – 1.6 kW
Battery voltage10 V – 60 V
Target efficiency93%
Air gap / tolerated misalignment1 – 10 cm
