Electric Forklift Charging Infrastructure Installation for a Large UK Manufacturer

A large UK workplace operating a growing fleet of electric vehicles found that its existing chargers had become unreliable, causing frustration for staff and limiting day to day EV usage. To restore confidence and ensure dependable charging availability, the organisation required a robust charging solution — installed quickly, correctly, and with minimal disruption.

We were commissioned to replace the existing infrastructure with three new Rolec BasicCharge dual socket charging pedestals, fully integrated with the Monta changepoint management platform. The result: a future proof, reliable, and business ready charging network that staff can rely on every day.

The upgrade involved:

• 3 × Rolec BasicCharge Pedestal Chargers (Dual Socket, 7.4kW per outlet)
• Integration with the Monta back office management platform for simple control, access, billing, and reporting
• Removal of legacy equipment and full installation to industrial grade standards

This installation ensures high availability and provides a robust foundation for workplace fleet charging.

Our certified EV engineers delivered:

• A swift changeover from old to new hardware
• Clean, neat, and compliant installation with minimal onsite disruption
• Full system commissioning, testing, and certification
• Integration with Monta for back office control and driver access

Every charger was activated, tested, and ready for use the same day.

The Rolec BasicCharge pedestal provides a high reliability, feature rich charging solution designed to perform in busy workplace environments.

Key features that benefit fleet and staff users:

• Dual 7.4 kW charging outputs (Type 2)
  Each pedestal supports two vehicles simultaneously, providing scalable capacity for workplace car parks.
• OCPP 1.6 compliance
  Ensures seamless integration with Monta or any other major back‑office system.
• No earth rod required
  Built‑in PME fault detection simplifies installation and reduces cost and disruption.
• Built‑in AC and DC protection
  Includes 30mA Type A RCBO and 6mA DC leakage protection for enhanced safety and rapid fault identification.
• LED amenity lighting
  Integrated photocell‑controlled lighting improves charger visibility and safety in car parks.
• Durable, vandal‑resistant construction
  Rated IK10 impact protection and IP65 enclosure, ideal for demanding commercial environments.
• Connectivity for 24/7 uptime
  Built‑in 4G, Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, and NFC ensures the chargers remain online reliably for access control and reporting.
• MID‑approved energy metering
  Provides accurate billing and reporting of staff usage.
• 3‑year manufacturer warranty
  Protects the investment and assures long‑term reliability.

The chargers were linked to the Monta chargepoint management system, enabling:

• Driver access via app, RFID, or plug‑and‑charge
• Usage tracking & analytical insights
• Setting public/private access
• Custom tariffs for staff and visitors
• Dynamic & static load management options
• Over‑the‑air updates for long‑term stability

This provides the client full operational control from day one.

The workplace now benefits from:

• Highly reliable charging availability for staff
• Scalable dual output charging across all 3 pedestals
• Reduced maintenance issues compared to the previous chargers
• Improved safety and compliance with built in protections
• Intuitive chargepoint management via the Monta platform
• A future proof investment, ready for continued EV fleet expansion

The project was delivered smoothly, quickly, and with minimal interruption to daily operations.
