Haulotte's innovative hydrogen-powered rough terrain scissor lift is being utilized for the first time at the Saint-Cyr-l’École military school near Paris. This development follows a partnership between Haulotte and hydrogen solutions specialist Equans to create a unit powered by a green hydrogen fuel cell. The equipment, named Haulotte Pulseo scissor lift, features a hydrogen-powered range extender, offering increased autonomy and quick recharges to enhance productivity on construction sites. In May 2022, a collaboration agreement was signed with France's national hydrogen team to test the electric HS18 E PRO scissor lift from Haulotte's Pulseo range in real conditions. The lift is equipped with a removable range extender powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which efficiently recharges the batteries. Haulotte highlighted that while electric machines are available, hydrogen provides the advantage of decarbonizing isolated sites without electrical infrastructure. The pilot site, managed by Bouygues Bâtiment Habitat Social, includes a hydrogen refill station, ensuring seamless operations. The partnership between Haulotte and Equans aims to accelerate the energy transition in construction sites, improving machine endurance and productivity. The hydrogen technology not only reduces pollutant emissions and noise levels but also enhances comfort for operators and bystanders, as the fuel cell only emits water vapor. To address the challenge, Haulotte and Equans collaborated with French companies Roth H2 and H2SYS. Roth H2 provided the refill station tailored for worksites' requirements, while H2SYS integrated hydrogen fuel cell technology into the scissor lift. The successful pilot test conducted from May to December 2024 aimed to validate the technical and economic viability of hydrogen technology for construction sites and assess the hydrogen supply ecosystem.
