Batteries go four-high with enersys

Motive power specialist EnerSys Motive Power is now supplying four-tier battery banks which are said to 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 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 at any time in the future 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.
