A four-high lift truck battery charge
and change facility has been installed
by EnerSys as part of the
refurbishment of the St Helens
regional distribution centre.
When a lift truck battery change is required, the truck approaches the changing area and the driver disconnects its battery. A trained member of staff dedicated to the battery area takes over and completes the change using the Pro- Series BBE which runs on concealed rails alongside the charger banks.
The battery is removed by the extending electro-magnet on the BBE, placed on its on-board roller bed and pushed into place for charging. A charged battery is then loaded by the BBE onto the truck.
Truck uptime is sustained and manual handling is eliminated.
