Trak® Xchange Battery Changing Machine – PU 1250-650

Drawing Number: AD-724-2015-06

 

Fork-truck Battery Changing Machine – PU 1250-650: 

As part of an ongoing relationship with Hoppecke Batterien, Acres regularly produce a number of bespoke fork-truck battery changing units to suit customer requirements. Our product has improved incrementally over the years giving our designers and fabricators a wealth of experience to tackle almost any request.

The Acres PU machine is fixed to a PPT (Powered Pallet Truck) providing a fast and efficient mobile battery changing solution for warehouse operations.  The PU is powered by a hydraulic power pack which, in partnership with a pair of powerful magnets exchanges batteries between fork trucks and battery charging racks.

Acres are currently exporting custom machines to Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Holland, Slovakia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, South Africa and China as well as serving the UK.

For more information about the Hoppecke battery changing unit see: The trak® Xchange PU.

Design Scope:

This bespoke design features a cut back chassis with extended magnet head to reach inset batteries otherwise obscured within the fork-truck chassis. The design design also features a laser guide to assist the operator with leveling the bed to suit both fork-truck and battery bed roll-off heights.
