Trak® Xchange Battery Changer – PU 1250-1000 Dual Height

Fork Truck Battery Changer – PU 1250-1000 Dual Height: 

As part of an ongoing relationship with Hoppecke Batterien, Acres regularly produce a number of bespoke fork truck battery changer 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 around the clock 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 design features a dual height bed with extended magnet head to remove a multitude of batteries at a range of roll off heights as well as reach inset batteries otherwise obscured within the fork-truck chassis. This design also features a proxy sensor to detect the magnet safe zone and enable/disable the PPT’s movement ensuring full user safety. In addition a laser guide have been incorporated to assist the operator with levelling the bed and speed up the exchange process.
