About Motive Energy
West coast power solutions. Built on 42 years.
Since 1982 we have kept warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing plants running by solving the power problems that keep operations managers up at night.
Our Story
Still locally owned. Still answering the phone.
In 1982, Motive Energy started with one conviction: warehouse operators deserved a battery supplier who understood their operation, not just their order form. Four decades later, that conviction still drives everything we do.
We have grown from a single Anaheim office to five locations across California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, because our clients run multi-state operations and deserve consistent support everywhere they operate. Through industry consolidation, we have stayed independent. That independence is the story.
Forklifts keep supply chains moving. When their power fails, products do not ship and people stand around waiting. That is why our field service team carries diagnostic tools and common parts, not just a troubleshooting guide. And it is why we recycle 99% of the batteries we handle. Responsible disposal is part of the service on every job.
What We Do
One partner. Every phase. Zero fragmentation.
No regional competitor tells the complete story. We own the entire chain, so nothing gets dropped in the handoffs between vendors.

Supplier Alliances
How we know we are not just reselling whatever is cheapest
Three named partnerships create a quality triad. Each one maps to a product category and answers the question buyers always have.
DEKA traction batteries power demanding material-handling operations worldwide. We have carried DEKA as our primary battery brand for decades, with access to the full line and factory-backed technical support.
A.C.T. conventional, opportunity, and fast chargers are engineered for warehouse and distribution duty cycles. The full line meets California Energy Commission (CEC) efficiency standards.
From Hydra Handler extractors to transfer carts and A-frames, Sackett equipment is built for the abuse a battery room generates. We design, engineer, and install to OSHA standards.
Where We Operate
Five offices. Four states.
Our teams coordinate on multi-site accounts, so you get one billing process and consistent standards everywhere your fleet runs. For any location, call 800.680.7891.
