Choosing a Forklift Battery Transfer Carriage
Forklift Battery Transfer Carriages allow users to safely remove and replace forklift batteries in fleets that are configured for side-extraction. These carriages feature a heavy-duty steel frame with a durable powder coating that prevents damage from electrolyte drips. Battery compartments are lined with spark-proof poly rollers that resist corrosive build-up and reduce friction during battery changes. Large phenolic casters have a low rolling resistance, allowing operators to position the units without an increased risk of ergonomic hazards.
Every combination of powered and manual function is available for Battery Transfer Carriages. Higher-frequency applications will benefit from the fully-powered unit, while users that only maintain one or two forklifts can save considerably with manual controls. Many battery room operators make sure to keep a BTC Winch on hand in case a forklift battery has to be removed out on the floor, far away from the established battery room.
