Replacing the battery using a change
frame
If an unbraked hand pallet truck or an electric
pallet truck is used to replace the battery, a
change frame is always required. This means
that, in the event of an emergency, the pallet
truck can be braked by simply lowering the
change frame, which holds the battery.
Even if other means of transport are used, a
change frame is useful. It facilitates the inser-
tion and removal of the battery and reduces
the risk of a collision between the battery and
components of the industrial truck.
The different tow tractors and platform tractors
have different battery sizes, for which different
change frames are required. The battery size
depends on the wheelbase of the tow tractor
or platform tractor.
–
Select the change frame according to the
wheelbase of the industrial truck used. See
the table in the following chapter, "Change
frame types", for more information.
–
Ensure that the selected change frame has
the required load capacity for the battery
including the tray. This information can be
found on the nameplate of the change
frame and of the battery.
–
Check the change frame for deformation
and fractures or cracks before use.
