Mobile Forklift Battery Extractor

Overview

The BHS Mobile Battery Extractor (MBE) is a self-contained extractor that enables battery change-outs anywhere in a facility. The versatile MBE handles a wide variety of applications and is recommended for up to 50 battery changes per day.

Our engineers designed the MBE with safety, efficiency, and durability in mind. A pendant control makes operation easy and an Operator Shield separates the roller compartment from staff.

The Mobile Battery Extractor has heavy-duty construction and a powder coat finish for extra durability. We use standard industrial components to ensure the ability to find parts locally. The low-maintenance design keeps operating costs to a minimum.

Rubber Bumpers protect lift trucks and the extractor during change-outs. Compartment rollers, rear friction strips, and a Battery Containment Bar make transporting batteries safe and easy.

Increase your productivity with a durable and efficient Mobile Battery Extractor. Contact our sales team at 1.800.BHS.9500 to learn more about Battery Carts and Carriages or to find a local dealer.

Note: 16-foot (4.88-meter) aisle clearance required.

Options

Lead Acid Battery (MBE-LA): Lead acid battery instead of maintenance free battery pack
Magnet Extraction (MBE-MAG): Ideal when batteries are too narrow for vacuum extraction
Fleet Tracker® (FLT-IIOT): BHS Fleet Tracker is a cloud-based fleet-management system, with detailed reporting that allows users to right-size their fleets for optimal efficiency. Connection to the IIoT allows managers to measure the health of batteries, stands, and trucks by logging into a secured Web Portal. Fleet Tracker’s touchscreen HMI mounted to the Mobile Battery Extractor guides users to charged batteries, posts maintenance reminders, and updates the status of battery assets to the cloud. The Fleet Tracker system improves battery health, improves change-out efficiency, and gives managers the real-time data they need to eliminate waste by matching assets to needs exactly.
