Battery compartments, batteries and chargers
When selecting the battery, these aspects should be considered:
● Physical limitations of the battery compartment – information on battery com-
partment sizes is available in the Technical information chapter.
● Minimum and maximum weight –- these weights are indicated in the Technical
information chapter. Especially for stackers, the minimum permitted weight is
important since it affects truck stability.
● Intended truck application – for lower intensity operations, a smaller battery
should be chosen, while for higher intensity operations, a larger battery is
required. If a low-capacity battery is selected for intensive applications, battery
capacity will be insufcient.
To obtain maximum usefulness from the battery, it is important to select a charger
optimised for the battery and the intended application.
Battery compartment
There are two different battery compartment types:
● The standard compartment with vertical battery replacement. This compartment
is available in three sizes: small, medium and large.
● A compartment with lateral battery replacement, relying on rollers at the bottom
of the battery compartment. It is only available for the large battery compart-
ment. The height to the rollers is 215 mm.
For more information on dimensions and compartments sizes for the various truck
models, please refer to the Technical information chapter and the initial chapter in
this guide.
