[RE-wrenches] Supporting heavy flooded batteries

[William Miller]

Jay:



Is this for one battery?  I presume you crane the battery into the cart and
then roll it into a battery box or enclosure…



I forgot to mention that steel is verboten unless it is lined with plastic.

HI William,



Here is how I do big HUP type batteries.

Metal frame, and wheels.  You can use either hi durometer synthetic or
metal wheels.

This one the guy had powered coated

Friends:



For years we have been supporting large form-factor flooded battery trays
by setting them on pressure treat 4X4s. We have developed a cradle we bolt
onto a special-order, narrow pallet jack and roll them over the wood
supports.  It is not a seismic solution, but it works.



Just today I have learned that at least one large battery manufacturer is
recommending against using any form of wood, apparently due to the
potential for rot and/or conductive paths.  I am told that the solution is
steel racking with plastic covers over the steel.



How are the rest of you supporting your large flooded batteries?



Thanks in advance,



William
