This is a mobile lifting table for removing, positioning and refitting electric vehicle battery packs, with a rated capacity of 1,500 kg. In a bodyshop or EV workshop, it is positioned beneath the vehicle, adjusted to support the pack evenly, then lowered clear of the chassis for inspection, repair or replacement.
The platform needs to be set up square to the vehicle before taking the battery weight. Any tilt adjustment should be used for accurate alignment, not to compensate for poor positioning. Check that the pack is fully supported, particularly where its casing or mounting points are uneven, and confirm the lift is compatible with the available workshop access and vehicle height.
A common issue is trying to move a battery before its fasteners, wiring and cooling connections are completely free. This can place unnecessary load on the pack or lift. Keeping the table stable, using the mechanical safety lock correctly and lowering under controlled operation are essential.
Used with the right vehicle support equipment and procedures, it provides a controlled and repeatable method of handling heavy battery assemblies safely and efficiently.
