Sevcon
is a UK-based manufacturer and developer of electric control systems for
vehicles of all kinds. Founded in 1961 under the name “Sevcon Engineering
Ltd.”, the company has quickly grew to become one of the largest and most
respected electric control systems manufacturer in Europe. Since their very
early stages, Sevcon managed to develop innovative energy-saving systems,
reducing the build-up of heat due to electric resistance in their components,
offering reliable and stable performance, and lengthening the lives of the
batteries used in the vehicles. Since its conception, Sevcon presented
pioneering semiconductor-controlled rectifiers which used semiconductor
oscillators to provide highly regulated pulses of electric power to the motors
of the vehicles, leaving all competition way behind. The company’s R&D
department built upon this success and brought numerous examples of innovative
engineering to the market during the next decades, solidly establishing their
position in the field. Nowadays, Sevcon is a leader in the development of
microprocessor controllers for electric vehicles including electric forklifts,
is listed on the USA stock exchange, the NASDAQ capital market, and maintains a
global presence through subsidiaries and factories.
We
at Lift Parts Warehouse have specifically selected Sevcon to be one of our
official part suppliers as we want our customers to enjoy the high quality
parts that are made from the very best manufacturers out there. Of course, and
as we always want to offer the best choices that fit the specific needs of our
clients, Sevcon is only one of our contractors, with their main rival General
Electric being also available in our warehouse. However, when it comes to
electric control systems for forklift accelerators, electronic logic boards,
handsets, power packs, and charge controllers, Sevcon is always a step further
against anyone out there.
When
it comes to the electric components of forklifts, many have the misconception
that they are of secondary importance because the parts that do the work are
mechanical and hydraulic based. However, electric components are very critical
for the forklift’s reliability and the avoidance of extensive downtimes that
can lead to massive subsequent financial and logistical losses. Moreover, and
especially in the case of electric-powered forklifts, the electric components
are of utmost importance as they determine the level of the safety of the
truck’s operation, and their performance.
An
example could be the warning indicators that are based on the correct function
of the self-diagnostic systems. If these systems malfunction, then the operator
of the forklift will continue to work risking the safety of the workers,
him/herself, and also risking to induce more excessive wear and tear to other
components in the forklift. Another example is the charging controller and
power control system. When this work as efficiently as possible, owners of a
forklift may enjoy low charging times, charging temperatures that are well
within the acceptable and safe ranges, and a long-lasting performance. If not,
the cells will prematurely decay, leading to an early replacement that will
cost a lot more in the long term, especially when running a fleet of forklifts.
More
specifically, Sevcon makes high and low voltage DC and AC controllers that
feature robust designs and reliable performance. They are small so they can fit
in even the tightest compartment, they dissipate very little heat thanks to
their superior energy efficiency, and they are sealed against humidity.
Sevcon’s DC to DC converters are safe, compact, and can be connected to the
battery cell on a permanent basis without corrosion, decay, or any other
problem. On the field of battery chargers, Sevcon offers the absolute best in
terms of efficiency and performance combined. With more than 20 years of experience
in this field, Sevcon has developed intelligent charge control systems that use
different settings for the various battery types depending on their rating and
cathode/anode chemicals used, so the charging is rapid but without damaging the
cells whatsoever. Finally, Sevcon’s LCD displays boast the company’s innovative
“Smartview” technology that ensures forklift operators can clearly see what’s
displayed no matter the lighting conditions and the viewing angle.
We
can offer the complete range of the Sevcon products at the best price on the
market, and we achieve this by making large orders from the manufacturer.
Moreover, Lift Parts Warehouse maintains a complete network of dealers around
the country of the USA, all of whom are strategically positioned in such a way
that all parts will be delivered to their final destination from three to nine
business days no matter where you are. If that is not enough for you and you
urgently need a part, we can send an emergency 1-day delivery shipment via air
shipping at an additional cost. No matter what your shipping choice is, you may
always login into our online platform and track your order or get live updates
on its status via email.
All
Sevcon parts that were bought from us are covered by the manufacturer’s limited
guarantee, and we also offer a repair service so if something isn’t working as
expected you can send it back to us and we will fix it asap. If you have bought
a Sevcon part that you no longer need for any reason, we can purchase it back
at a price set by the state and the type of the part. This means that we also
offer rebuilt/refurbished parts that were re-manufactured according to the
OEM’s guidelines and specifications, so they are sold at a lower price with a
six month guarantee that is optionally upgradable to up to 36 months. Finally,
if you are unsure about the exact part that you need, feel free to contact us
via phone or chat on our website and our part specialists will help you find
the right spare parts for your forklift model. Our agents are kind and helpful,
so you don’t need to waste time by searching for parts and comparing the
specifications on your own. We have the experience and vast stock amount to
help you no matter how obsolete and rare what you’re looking for is.
