Battery management for ALL materials handling fleets
Following the success of Exide Technologies’ 2100.Net battery management system, the battery and charger manufacturer has launched two additional systems, one of which is suitable for smaller fleets – iBOS Basic and iBOS Pro. iBOS stands for Intelligent Battery Organising System. The Basic version is designed for small to medium fleets of up to 31 chargers in the same group. iBOS Pro is ideal for medium to large fleets with over 31 chargers. iBOS maximises the life of a battery fleet by ensuring optimum use.
The beauty of Exide’s iBOS system is that it can be retrofitted to any fleet; there are no limitations on the make of chargers it is suitable for use with. The main function of iBOS is to ensure correct rotation and charging of batteries. It does this by monitoring charging regimes, advising operators of the next battery available and giving warnings if an incorrect battery is taken. It will also highlight faulty equipment.
iBOS Pro can manage an unlimited number of batteries and provides in-depth analysis reports – including remote access from anywhere in the world as long as an internet connection is available. Although the system collects huge amounts of data, it is capable of disseminating it into compact and user-friendly reports.
Jon Wells, Technical Projects Manager of Exide Technologies comments, “Incorrect battery charging and incorrect usage are the two main reasons for a short service life of a traction battery. Previously, the benefits of a battery charging management system were only within the reach of large organisations; now Exide brings these benefits to all users.”

Fresh new look for Amazone entry-level trailed sprayers
Amazone’s entry level ‘UG’ trailed sprayers are to receive a fresh new look for 2010 incorporating improved technological advances from their UX range of sprayers.
It will be available in two versions – the UG Special with 250 l/min piston diaphragm pump and the UG Super with 370 l/min twin-pump system with both available in 2400 and 3200 litre variants.
The all new operator station makes filling, mixing and cleaning quick and simple and now comes with the addition of the 60 litre induction hopper, with internal rinse ring and can wash, from the big brother UX range. New injector technology will improve filling rates (up to 500 l/min) with a new 3-inch suction port for rapid filling
The new operator station consists of an intake valve and suction filter that is manufactured entirely in-house by AMAZONE and until now was used exclusively in the UX. The exclusive 2” tappet valve technology, with its light operation and highly effective sealing, is now employed for the first time in the UG series. Also now as standard are easy-to-open suction and pressure filters that use a quick-release bayonet locking system which means cleaning can be carried out without spray liquid loss even though the suction filter is horizontal
The fill level indicator is now in a clearly visible location above the left mudguard; in addition, the fill level can be monitored electronically via the AMASPRAY+ or AMATRON+ operator control terminals.
In booms widths up to 28m, the UG trailed sprayer is light and equipped with either mechanical tracking or electro-hydraulic drawbar steering and can be comprehensively equipped with all the options found on Amazone sprayers such as automatic boom height ‘Distance Control .
