Battery banks in four tiers
August 1st 2010 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
electric-powered battery changing
cart, the EnerSys Pro-Series Battery
Bull BBE.
"The four-high battery bank is a
natural development for larger
operations which demand maximum
flexibility," says Dave Smith of
EnerSys Motive Power."Not all our
customers go straight to the top
level, but instead build a battery
room which can be extended
without poaching any additional
operational floorspace."
By building in the extra capacity,
EnerSys four-tier battery banks allow
for easy maintenance with maximum
safety. Engineers can operate safely,
without disrupting normal
warehouse operations, while a
proportion of the battery bank is
taken offline. The new design
incorporating all electric drives for
lift & travel eliminates the use of
hydraulics used in previous models.
This simplified system means easier
service & maintenance, says the
company. More articles from Enersys Ltd: |
