Trak® Xchange Battery Changing Machine – PU 1700 X 1070

Fork-truck Battery Changing Machine  – PU 1700 X 1070 Dual Height Special: 

As part of an ongoing relationship with Hoppecke Batterien, Acres 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.

Design Scope:
This bespoke solution features oil impregnated nylon slides instead of traditional rollers to achieve an extra-low roll of height of 110mm with additional advantages of increased reliability and product longevity as well as improved maintenance. A 1700mm X 1070mm bed size has been created to accommodate very large batteries. The dual height capabilities will cater for various take off heights making this machine incredibly versatile. The battery Load/Unload process has been proof tested at 1800kg.
