Powered Battery Change

Single Tier Battery Transfer Cars

Our single tier transfer car has twin roller beds for carrying two batteries, and works with single tier storage modules. It is either mains or battery powered and has an operator cab with ergonomic push button controls.

Traction batteries of all types can be handled. They are loaded and unloaded by the magnetic push/pull arm in a fast and efficient process that removes the need for operator input. This transfer car has a 3000kg capacity.

Single Level Storage

This transfer car stores batteries in a single level storage system. The car moves along an aisle beside the storage modules where it will pick and place batteries. A joystick with proportional sensitivity controls all movements in a smooth and efficient manner.

Multi-Tier Battery Transfer Cars

The machine has two roller beds for carrying two batteries whilst operating its battery changing functions. The batteries are moved east-west by attaching a magnet and pulling or pushing. The machine moves in a dedicated aisle, which is a pedestrian ‘No Go’ area. The machine rises to a second, or third (for three tier car) level for the top row of batteries. It can access batteries on both sides of the aisle on all levels. This machine has a lifting capacity of 3000 kilograms.

Power

The power supply is through a power rail system and is 440/380 volts three phase; this part of the supply is protected with an R.C.D. (residual current detector) and a circuit breaker. The supply feeds the main hydraulic pump motor, which is 5 kilowatts. The various speeds of the car are controlled by an inverter, which in turn controls the speed of the hydraulic pump. This is housed in an enclosure at the opposite end of the machine to the operator. The power supply at the operating end of the machine is all 24 volts, which is transformed from the above supply.
