Kirpal:
We have custom built racks for 8D batteries and smaller. We have done this
only for VRLA batteries. We used uni-strut.
Finding trays, servicing flooded batteries up high or below in the dark and
lifting batteries are all daunting considerations. If you can solve these
and you can obtain engineering, then building in-house may be possible.
Brainstorming here: Could one install a trolley lift? How about custom,
fiberglass lined plywood trays?
Good luck.

Hi All.....anyone have any experience with battery racking systems for big
banks of flooded lead acid batteries? Typically we don't like to stack
flooded batteries but we may not have space for as big of a bank as we
need if we don't stack......Any one know of a company that engineers racks
that are seismically sound, have the ability to have spill containment all
while maintaining some accessibility? I know DPW makes battery racks but
looking at their web site they are typically smaller than what we need.....
We need to support roughly 7000lbs.....and are exploring if this is even
doable....
Cheers and thanks!
