Cold store application
Battery in the cold store
The drive batteries of the industrial trucks
may under no circumstances reach the
temperature of the cold store (-30°C) or
shock cold store (-42°C). This means that
they must either be in operation or charging.
The batteries must not remain in the cold store
overnight without power drain or charging. It is
best to charge the battery outside of the cold
store and to continue to operate the industrial
truck in the cold store with replacement
batteries. The battery charger must always
be operated outside of the cold store.
CAUTION
Depending on the temperature, the charging time of
the battery may increase and the available capacity
may be reduced.
The lower the temperature at which the battery is
used, the longer the charging time and the smaller
the available capacity. The standard capacity is
reached at 30°C. If the temperature is reduced by
1°C , this capacity is reduced by approximately 1%.

use on moving parts, such as gearing and
chains.
• Chains treated with water-repellent low-
temperature grease are fitted.
• The paintwork on the trucks is designed for
