New SL24EVT Battery Pack Lift
Makes Servicing Electric Vehicles
Safer, Easier and More Efficient
BendPak's patent-pending new
SL24EVT EV battery pack and
powertrain lifting system helps technicians
safely and efficiently remove,
service and install heavy battery
packs from a wide range of electric
vehicles. And thanks to an innovative
design that supports a full line of
available accessories, it also doubles
as a powertrain lift for internal
combustion vehicles.
The SL24EVT is compact and portable,
with a pallet-jack type steering
wheel and oversized urethane casters
engineered to provide low rolling resistance
and unparalleled maneuverability
anywhere in the shop. With a press
of the button on the pendant controller,
the SL24EVT elevates to more than
6 feet in less than 20 seconds. The lift
table securely supports an industryleading
2,400 pounds on its oversized
40 x 60-inch cushioned rubber platform,
providing stability throughout
battery replacement, repair, recycling
and material handling procedures.
" We were inspired to develop the
SL24EVT lifting system after seeing
some of the creative do-it-yourself
solutions technicians were using to
remove EV battery packs weighing
more than 1,000 pounds, " explains Jeff
Kritzer, BendPak executive vice president.
" BendPak's SL24EVT eliminates
any manual lifting or lowering of the
battery pack and makes it easy to
securely move the pack around the
shop without worry. "
Like the electric vehicles it supports,
the SL24EVT EV battery pack and
powertrain lifting system is battery
powered. It uses a maintenance-free
12-volt deep-cycle battery featuring
proprietary, high-density grid technology
precisely engineered to deliver
outstanding performance. A fully
automatic three-stage battery charger
offers connect-and-forget operation
to protect against overcharging. An
integrated thermal sensor detects
ambient temperature and adjusts the
15-amp output to prevent overcharging
in hotter areas and undercharging
in cold climates.
Full-length utility trays provide
ample storage for tools and fasteners
during all stages of service and battery
pack removal. Sixteen recessed
mounting anchors in the lift platform
surface accommodate a variety of
modular fixtures, adapters and accessories
that can be added, repositioned,
or removed as needed to handle
engines, transmissions, gas tanks,
transaxle assemblies and more.
Available add-ons include:
* Telescoping arm kit provides multiconfigurable
support of large, heavy
and awkward vehicle components.
* Multi-point adapter safely supports
components like axles, transfer cases
and bumpers.
* Tilt deck makes it possible to tilt the
table surface side-to-side and fore
and aft for more precise alignment of
electric batteries, engine and drivetrain
assemblies, fuel tanks and more.
* Adjustable Accu-Point support
fixtures are independently adjustable
arms that can be adapted to nearly
any transmission, drivetrain or vehicle
subframe shape.
* The universal deck mount kit features
a center support pin that adapts to
virtually any competitive transmission
jack heads, drivetrain adapters or fuel
tank supports.
The SL24EVT is designed for durability
and low maintenance with features
like high-performance sleeve bushings
and thrush plate bearings at every
pivot point and polished 70,000 psi
ultimate-strength pins for premium
load strength and long life. Structural
cross-members at every scissor joint
minimize leg deflection, while the
durable ΒΌ inch thick steel platform
minimizes deck deflection, maximize
load stability and extends the lifting
platform life.
To protect technicians, integrated
hydraulic velocity fuses completely
stop the lift in the unlikely event of an
uncontrolled descent due to sudden
hydraulic hose rupture. A dual safety
bar system is easy to engage and
should always be used when performing
maintenance or reaching under the
SL24EVT for additional peace of mind.
The BendPak SL24EVT EV battery
pack and powertrain lifting system
complies with recognized standards
including ANSI MH29.1 - Safety
Requirements for Industrial Scissor
Lifts, NFPA 70 National Electric
Code, ASTM - A36 - Structural Steel
Standard, ANSI Z535 - Safety Labeling
Requirements, AWS D.1 - Welding
Standards, and applicable portions
of OSHA 29CFR1910 - General
Workplace Safety.
