Battery Lifting Beams

BHS Battery Lifting Beams are designed for integration with Gantry Cranes systems, or can be used in conjunction with a BHS Fork Attachment and forklift, for completing a safe and efficient solution for vertical-extraction battery handling applications. These Lifting Beams feature non-conductive hardwood construction with adjustable hook positions (fixed hooks are optional). For batteries that have four integrated attachment points, the Battery Lifting Beam-Four Point offers greater stability and control during the change-out process. Each lifting beam offers a convenient and efficient way to handle industrial forklift batteries, with a maximum capacity of 6,000 pounds.

Each attachment hook hangs from heavy-duty chains that lead to an adjustable steel anchor to accommodate batteries of various sizes. Fleets that use a single uniform battery size can opt for fixed hooks on each end, and the full range of BHS hook configurations is available for every order. Hook options (including a fixed position, Load Hog, Super Hog, Slide-Latch and Load-Lok hooks) are available for applications in different settings, and adjustable hook positions allow for use with batteries of different lengths. Optional grab handles can provide a better grip when an operator needs additional control.

Whether you are using an overhead bridge crane or a lift truck, battery lifting devices from BHS provide the balance and support you need to handle industrial batteries safely. This Gantry Crane attachment provides safe and durable control over forklift batteries in vertical-extraction applications. The hardwood core of the beam provides reliable, non-conductive support for batteries that weigh up to 6,000 pounds.

All Forklift Battery Handling Beams are constructed out of hardwood and heavy-duty, powder-coated steel in the BHS factory in St. Louis, Missouri. If you have unique needs, our engineers can alter or design a Battery Handling Beam to match your application.
