PRO Series BTE Battery Handling Equipment
Instruction Manual
BATTERY TUGGER ELECTRIC BATTERY HANDLING EQUIPMENT
The Battery Tugger Electric (BTE) battery handling equipment is the global standard in low-volume high-efficiency battery changing. The reliability, safety standards, and changing efficiency are second-to-none and unrivaled in today’s battery-changing industry. All BTE battery handling equipment models are engineered with a fully welded, unibody construction and finished in premium acid-proof powder coat paint to ensure they’ll be delivering reliable and effective battery changes for many years to come.
The BTE battery handling equipment series is fitted with our reliable 818kg electromagnetic extraction system that is used extensively on our man-aboard systems. The unit also uses a lead roller to ensure smooth and damage-free exchanges each time and offers optional battery guides to prevent smaller pallet truck batteries from tipping over. The BTE battery handling equipment uses a UHMW slide bed with lead entry rollers that secure the load for transfer without the need for additional safety locks, simply pull it into the compartment and travel to your destination.
