Motive power specialist EnerSys
Motive Power is now supplying
four-tier battery banks which reduce
significantly the footprint of lift truck
battery change and charge operations,
facilitate easy maintenance and
maximise operational safety. The
battery tiers are serviced by an
innovative all electric-powered
battery changing cart, the EnerSys
Pro-Series Battery Bull BBE.
The Pro-Series BBE which
services the battery racks is a semiautomated
all electric powered
change cart. It runs on concealed
rails alongside rows of chargers.
When a change is required, the truck approaches the changing area, the battery is disconnected and a trained member of staff completes the change.
The BBE extracts the battery from the truck on to its on-board roller bed using a powerful extending electro-magnet and then pushes the battery into place for charging.
Batteries on the second, third and fourth levels of the charging bank are handled in the same way.
Changing batteries is a quick and simple one-man job which can be accomplished in around 90 seconds.
