Ugo Work

Our story

When we first stepped into a battery room, it felt like a step back in time—wasted space, risky charging, and downtime no one could afford. The problem wasn’t just the batteries. It was the whole setup. So we started over, using what we know best: electrical engineering. We built a system that makes power simpler, safer, and more reliable.

We know power—and fix the problems others overlook. 

Safety comes first. We test and build beyond the industry standard. 

Support that shows up—proactive and on the floor. 

Built for real operations—cold storage, 3PLs, anywhere in North America.

Circular Economy

The most sustainable product is the one you do not produce. Imagine being able to use one lithium battery over a period of 10 years vs up to nine lead-acid batteries! Lithium batteries’ increased durability and energy density makes this possible – which results in a 900% reduction in a company’s carbon footprint.

 Battery design technology, like that produced by UgoWork, optimizes the lifetime of each battery component by only replacing specific parts of the battery – such as the lithium cells. It also increases the sustainability of the product, and its impact on the environment, by making the casing 100% recyclable, and the lithium packs 95% recyclable through established recycling and repurposing partnerships. By thinking “green” and using highly-recyclable batteries, companies can even reduce the total cost of ownership by recycling lithium batteries through dedicated organizations and even recover a part of their cost. (or, at least, not having to pay an extra disposal fee).

The modular counterweight system used by most sustainable battery companies allows them to shift their batteries between forklifts and maximize the battery’s lifetime. For example, using a battery in a high usage forklift in the first years of the battery’s life, and in a low usage forklift in later years, extends the life of the battery and results in a more sustainable product for the environment and the company’s bottom line. 

Even with the leading lead acid batteries (TPPL), clients have periods where a full charge is required. This inefficiency requires clients to own more than one battery per forklift – or even worse, more forklifts. With lithium, the battery can be charged 0–85% in one hour and every forklift can run 24/7. A recent case study with a leading 3PL found that by combining the lithium technology with data analytics, a company can eliminate one full forklift for every six forklifts.
