TT-921: The Force of Impact

Models Effected: All Battery Stands

The importance of proper roller compartment alignment of battery extractor and roller stand during battery transfer.

Description:

An excessive amount of force is exerted on battery stand compartment rollers when a 2,800 lb battery is dropped from a height of just a few inches. This impact can cause substantial damage to the battery compartment rollers, roller shafts, and even the battery stand superstructure. Once the stand's superstructure is damaged, roller failure will occur and will continue to occur until the battery stand is repaired or replaced.

Over 40,000 pounds of force is exerted on battery stand compartment rollers when a 2,800 lb battery is dropped from a height of 4 inches.

Over 28,000 pounds of force is exerted on battery stand compartment rollers when a 2,800 lb battery is dropped from a height of 2 inches.
