We have custom built racks for 8D batteries and smaller. We have
done this only for VRLA batteries. We used uni-strut.<br><br>
Finding trays, servicing flooded batteries up high or below in the dark
and lifting batteries are all daunting considerations. If you can
solve these and you can obtain engineering, then building in-house may be
possible.<br><br>
Brainstorming here: Could one install a trolley lift? How
about custom, fiberglass lined plywood trays?<br><br>
Good luck.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hi All.....anyone have any
experience with battery racking systems for big banks of flooded lead
acid batteries? Typically we don't like to stack flooded batteries
but we may not have space for as big of a bank as we need if we don't
stack......Any one know of a company that engineers racks that are
seismically sound, have the ability to have spill containment all while
maintaining some accessibility? I know DPW makes battery racks but
looking at their web site they are typically smaller than what we
need.....<br>
We need to support roughly 7000lbs.....and are exploring if this is even
doable....<br>
Cheers and thanks!<br><br>
