7.     Multi-Shifter Change Car. A/C powered.

 

8.     Batteries safely aligned at front of rack.

 

9.     Optional gantry for handling batteries that can only be lifted out of the fork lift, i.e. counter balanced trucks. 

 

The battery is lifted from c/bal truck & placed onto transfer bed. 

 

The change car then swaps batteries and places the used battery into the system for charging.

 

10. Transfer bed for use with gantry.

1.     Facility for mounting high frequency chargers, and other chargers that require stacking

 

2.     The charger shelf is 3mm gauge folded steel & will hold any charger.

 

3.     The shelf includes a facility for fixing     charger plugs safely

 

4.     Using battery stops, all batteries are held level at front of system for safe and easy extraction

 

5.     Battery slots are tilted backwards, using gravity to keep them safely on the rack.  No catches to forget or damage.

 

6.     The battery rack is held in place with

        locking track requiring only one ground

        bolt per metre of track. 

        Protecting the integrity of the concrete floor.

M.A.S.H.-B Space-Maker System Racking

A.      Mash-B Space Maker Beds use Poly–Wheel units instead of  rollers. The wheels          are acid resistant and their large diameter makes them far less prone to damage          than steel rollers.

 

         Thus eliminating two persistent causes of downtime in one move

         Our Poly-Wheels carry a five year warranty.

 

         Each Poly-Wheel unit adjusts to provide a safe fit for each battery.

 

         Eliminates dangerous sideways skewing of the battery.

 

C.      Battery guides also ensure safe placing of the battery.

        

D.      A maximum space of only 35mm is required between large batteries and 26mm          between smaller batteries.

         This keeps space required to an absolute  minimum.

a.      Neither battery is in line with front of rack.  This can make battery extraction difficult and

         lead to accidents.

 

b.      Wasted space (sometimes as much as 200mm) between batteries,  caused by using

         standard rollers to cover different size batteries.

         Multiply this by say thirty batteries and you could be using 6 metres of valuable space

         unnecessarily.

 

c.      This wasted space can also allow dangerous sideways battery skewing to  occur.

 

d.      Twelve ground bolts for just one battery (six at front, six at rear).

         The integrity of the concrete may well be compromised.

          Installation takes longer & relocating  the system even longer.

 e.     Lead roller set back - allows battery to directly hit bed, causing damage to bed & battery.

Competitor System Racking

Space-Maker (Single Level) Man on Board System

Here there was room for another five batteries if a MASH-B system had been used

Kitchen worktop used as a charger shelf.

 

Easily damaged.

 

Short term cheap, could be Long term expensive.

More bolts to damage the concrete floor, same again at rear.  More time to install or remove.

Single Level Allows Access to All Batteries in Case of Breakdown

Single level system still allows 100% access to all batteries in the event of a  breakdown.
