Unmatched Speed & Efficiency

The PowerChanger is the ideal solution for large forklift operations requiring fast, safe, and efficient battery changing. Its speed is a result of separating the electrical drive and the hydraulic power system for lifting and transfer arm operation. This specialised design achieves a remarkable lifting speed of 8 meters per minute and a travel speed of up to 80 meters per minute, positioning the PowerChanger among the most efficient battery handling machines available. Operators control the unit using easy-to-use joystick controls, and the machine is powered from an overhead pickup rail, ensuring continuous operation.

Robust Construction & Dual-Compartment Utility

Built to handle high-usage and high-abuse applications, the PowerChanger is engineered for maximum durability. Its design includes an unyielding frame, double-80 levelling chains, and a sturdy roller carriage that make it stand out from other market options. Functionally, the PowerChanger features two compartments, allowing operators to quickly remove a spent battery and replace it with a fresh one immediately. This dual capacity maximises the use of rack space and significantly speeds up the entire battery change process.

Advanced Safety Systems

Safety is a core design element of the PowerChanger. It features a sophisticated, standard PLC-controlled battery safety lock system that prevents unintentional battery discharge from the carriage. This system utilises four polarised retro-reflective photo eyes, monitored by a small PLC, which forces the operator to confirm it is safe to discharge the battery. Additionally, the deadman operator platform ensures full access to the control panel and offers complete freedom of movement. The platform further enhances safety with cushioned anti-slip padding and handholds for the operator during every battery change.
