Battery Room Best Practices Published


In the fall of 2012, a BHS customer asked if we had a list of general guidelines for maintaining the most efficient and safest forklift battery room. Of course, we had several documents outlining the various ways to maintain equipment, personnel safety, and workflow, but had not yet combined all of our recommendations into one easy-to-read document. In March of 2013, after months of research and deliberation, BHS proudly published BHS Battery Room Best Practices.

Fast forward to the fall of 2014 - BHS Battery Room Best Practices has been referenced several times in industry blogs, infographics, and online videos. In fact, one customer recently argued that BHS Battery Room Best Practices was so valuable that we shouldn’t be giving it away for free.
