Forklift Battery Transfer Cart – Australian Made to Order
A Battery Transfer Cart is an economical attachment for a Pallet Jack. It not only rides atop the customers pallet jack it also draws power for its magnet from the pallet jack’s battery. They are an excellent choice for customers with a small fleet of lift trucks who operate second shift batteries. The Battery Transfer Cart safely and quickly transfers batteries between the forklift and the battery charging station.
Identifying that there were shortfalls and limitations with the Battery Shifters imported from the USA, in 2016 we embarked on an ambitious program to design and manufacture an Australian made Battery Transfer Cart. The end product had such a wide range of capabilities that some customers were able to replace two American MTC Battery Attach-A-Pullers with a single Australian Battery Transfer Cart.
We now have over 40 of our inhouse designed and manufactured Forklift Battery Transfer Carts in service in warehouses throughout Australia. Being designed and manufactured in Australia provides us the flexibility to customise our Carts to suit your batteries dimensions and weights.
Battery Transfer Carts economically transfer batteries between forklifts and the charging station for fleets of lift trucks with second shift batteries. Features:
- Customised for your batteries dimensions
- Rugged steel construction
- Suitable for all lift truck batteries up to 2.0 tonnes
- Heavy duty 60mm rollers
- 24 V DC 600W motor powered by your electric pallet jack’s battery
- Dual chain operated draw-bar
- Upgraded electromagnet with 2,000 kg pull force. Our magnets have twice the pulling force compared to our competition and we now include an aviation style disconnectable plug, rather than hard wiring the cord to the magnet. If a customer damages their curly cord we can now just replace the curly cord without having to replace the entire magnet-curly cord assembly representing a significant cost saving to the customer.
- Upgraded 600W motor and gearbox. We now position our motors ‘above’ the worm drive gearbox rather than ‘below’ the worm drive gearbox, which removes a possible failure mode of gearbox oil leaking down the input shaft and entering the motor
- Gearboxes are mounted with a ‘torque arm’ rather than ‘fixed mounting’ which reduces stresses on the drive shaft
- Resistor mounted externally on heat sink for increased heat dissipation
- Heavy Duty Safety Bar mounted on leading edge
- Mounted to a pallet mover of your choice
- Covers largest range of roller heights than any other battery changer
- Australian Designed and Manufactured
We have four off-the-shelf sizes to choose from, or we can manufacture you a completely customised cart to suit your particular battery dimensions:
- STANDARD batteries up to 1040mm Long x 670mm wide
- LONG batteries up to 1260mm Long x 670mm wide
- WIDE batteries up to 1040mm Long x 890mm wide
- LONG & WIDE batteries up to 1260mm Long x 890mm wide
- CUSTOM to suit your particular battery dimensions
Customers typically mount the Battery Transfer Cart on an electric pallet jack, however they can also be manufactured to be mounted on a forklift instead to access double and triple level battery charging racks:
- Optional onboard lithium batteries
- Optional remote pendant for magnet on/off and drawbar in/out
- Optional forklift tyne pockets for mounting on a forklift instead of pallet jack
