This chapter provides a brief overview of fuel cell powered material handling equipment (MHE) operated in the United States markets. This chapter first describes current fuel cell technologies used as power source in material handling equipment, then discusses some of the commercially available fuel cell packs and their applications in different MHE classes, and finally the chapter concludes with the status of fuel cell‐powered MHE in 2013 and early 2014. There have been more than 6286 fuel cell powered forklift installations since 2003, totaling almost 56 MW. These installations include more than 5881 proton exchange membrane fuel cells and 405 direct methanol fuel cells.
