Maastricht, The Netherlands – May, 2026 : Discover Battery technologies will be present throughout APEX 2026, integrated into a growing number of aerial work platforms and industrial equipment showcased by OEMs, battery distributors and industry partners across the exhibition. Curious to know where? Visit the show, open the battery tray, and you may notice more Discover technology than expected!.

Today, numerous scissor lifts, boom lifts and vertical masts operating worldwide already rely on Discover Battery AGM and Lithium technologies to deliver reliable, maintenance-free power in demanding rental and construction environments.

Discover Battery was recently shortlisted for the IAPA Innovative Technology Prize 2026, recognizing the company’s continued commitment to advancing battery technology for the powered access industry through its Hydro Polymer AGM innovation.

Developed specifically for the demanding duty cycles of MEWPs, Discover’s Hydro Polymer technology improves electrolyte stability at nano-structural level, helping reduce common causes of premature battery failure such as heat stress, electrolyte dry-out, stratification and inconsistent charging. The technology is already integrated into Discover’s Dry Cell Traction AGM portfolio used by OEMs and rental fleets globally.

Alongside performance and reliability, Discover Battery continues to invest heavily in sustainability, recyclability and digital traceability initiatives for industrial batteries. The company is actively preparing for the future EU Battery Passport requirements and has developed a long-term approach focused on circular material selection, halogen-free recyclable polypropylene (PP) battery casings and improved lifecycle transparency.

“As the powered access industry continues to accelerate toward electrification, battery technologies are evolving far beyond simple energy storage,” said Stefano Giuliani, European Technical Director at Discover Battery. “Performance and reliability remain essential, but the industry is now also facing major challenges linked to sustainability, recyclability, traceability and future environmental compliance. At Discover Battery, we are proactively investing in technologies and processes that support this transition, from advanced AGM and Lithium chemistries to Battery Passport readiness. The company has also developed a long-term approach focused on circular material selection, halogen-free recyclable polypropylene (PP) battery casings and improved lifecycle transparency for industrial fleets.”

Stefano Giuliani added: “APEX remains an important meeting point for the global powered access industry, bringing together OEMs, rental companies, distributors and service specialists from across the world. We are proud to see Discover Battery technologies already integrated across many of our OEM and distribution partners exhibiting at the show, supporting the next generation of MEWP equipment and fleet electrification.”

Throughout APEX 2026, Discover representatives will be available onsite to meet with OEMs, rental companies, service providers and distributors to discuss advanced AGM and Lithium solutions, future Battery Passport regulations, sustainability strategies and the evolving energy requirements of modern MEWP fleets. Visitors are encouraged to connect with the Discover teams.
