Air Products’ mobile hydrogen fueller is proving a hit in Columbia, South Carolina, where it is participating in a Fuel Cell Lift Truck demonstration project and providing hydrogen for 2 hydrogen-powered fork lift trucks equipped with fuel cell power packs.
Taking part in the 6-location project in the Greater Columbia Fuel Cell Challenege, the fueller is providing hydrogen for the fork lifts that are performing daily use evaluations across warehouse facilities in the greater Columbia area, concluding in December.
