How to Remove an Industrial Lift Truck Battery
- 1). Bring your two forklifts to an unobstructed area. Place the plastic covers over the metal terminals on top of the battery you intend to remove. This will prevent the chain or hooks from coming into contact with the terminals.
- 2). Unplug the cables running from the sides of the battery to the forklift.
- 3). Connect the C hooks at each end of the chain to the opening on the sides of the battery.
- 4). Lower the forks of the forklift and bring them together.
- 5). Place the chain over the forks as close to the rear of the forklift as possible.
- 6). Lift the battery out of the forklift and use your spotter to keep you posted about how the process is going.
- 7). Drive the forklift away from the one needing the battery and lower the battery to the ground.
