Eliminate Bottlenecks
in Automotive production
Engineered to protect uptime in High-Volume Automotive Plants
Automotive production environments demand precision, consistency, and speed. When forklift battery changes are slow, inconsistent, or unsafe, the ripple effect hits takt time, labor efficiency, and overall output.
The BBE Battery Handling System is purpose-built to eliminate that variability. It delivers controlled, ergonomic, and repeatable battery extraction and installation designed specifically for multi-shift automotive manufacturing operations.
Built For Automotive Manufacturing Standards
Engineered for demanding plant environments, the BBE is designed for multi-shift, high-duty-cycle operations, supporting lean manufacturing initiatives, integrating with existing safety programs, and customizable to plant layout & battery type.

Not sure where to start?
How it Works.
- Precision-guided battery extraction & placement.
- Controlled transfer to reduce equipment damage.
- Engineered steel construction for multi-shift use.
- Configurable layouts to fit existing battery rooms.
- Compatible with common forklift fleets used in automotive plants.
Every movement is intentional. Every change cycle is consistent. The result is a predictable performance that your production schedule can rely on.
System features that make this possible:
- Electric transfer carts
- Multi-level racking
- PLC-controlled positioning
- Dual-side staging
- High-density battery storage
In an automotive application, the BBE improves uptime, reduces battery room labor, provides a predictable cycle time, and improves safety KPIs. scales fleet growth and standardizes battery handling across plants. As automation increases, so do these production metrics. We offer semi- and fully automated systems, depending on your needs, increasing production metrics anywhere between 45-85%.

Increase in Productivity
Our latest BBE built for an automotive application was for Jaguar/Land Rover in the UK. Their tri-level, dual-cart system increased productivity by 65%, delivering a clear return on investment in the first six months. The drawings above are for that system.
- Change Time Reduction 67%
- Downtime Reduction 30%
- Labor Reduction 30%
- Safety Incident Reduction 20%
- Increase in Battery Room Capacity 67%
Why A BBE?
You need a BBE if you’re a plant manager that:
-
Has a large fleet of battery-powered vehicles/services in use,
-
Downtime directly impacts your throughput and productivity,
-
You’re looking to maintain safety and ergonomic standards, and
-
Space and operational costs are a significant daily challenge.
To keep your line
moving during battery swaps:
-
Reducing change times
-
Eliminating manual lifting
-
and improving battery room throughput
