Overview

The BHS Non-Power Gantry Crane provides safe and easy vertical extraction for most standard forklift batteries. This cost-efficient gantry saves time and money by speeding up change-outs and keeping your fleet moving. Choose between a 2-ton or 3-ton capacity gantry crane with a variety of beam span lengths available.

BHS designs all products with worker safety as a high priority. Cable Festoon Kits protect staff by securing cables during operation of manual trolley. We use steel components for a more rugged and durable product that can safely lift a 2- or 3-ton battery, depending on model. For quality assurance, BHS inspects each gantry before shipping.

BHS gantries are modular to allow for system expansion. Models are available in 2-foot increments from 10 to 18 feet. The Non-Power Gantry Crane comes standard with 8-inch swivel casters, and floor mounts or rigid phenolic casters are available as optional features.

Simplify battery changing with a BHS gantry. Contact our sales team at 1.800.BHS.9500 to find out more about the Non-Power Gantry Crane or to find a local dealer.
