Ray:
I am setting the batteries up off the floor for these reasons:
1.I am trying to gain maximum ventilation.
2.I rarely spill electrolyte, but if I do, I don’t want the steel
cases sitting in it.
3.I haven’t figured out how to slide a 1700 pound battery across
_anything_.
4.With the proper arrangement of blocks, I can roll the tray right
over them with a pallet jack and lower it gently onto the blocks.

I put Fiber Reinforced Panel directly on the floor, and slide the
battery on that. Why are you setting them up off the floor?

Is this for one battery? I presume you crane the battery into
the cart and then roll it into a battery box or enclosure…
I forgot to mention that steel is verboten unless it is lined
with plastic.

HI William,
Here is how I do big HUP type batteries.
Metal frame, and wheels. You can use either hi durometer
synthetic or metal wheels.

Friends:
For years we have been supporting large form-factor flooded
battery trays by setting them on pressure treat 4X4s. We have
developed a cradle we bolt onto a special-order, narrow pallet
jack and roll them over the wood supports. It is not a seismic
solution, but it works.
Just today I have learned that at least one large battery
manufacturer is recommending against using any form of wood,
apparently due to the potential for rot and/or conductive paths.
I am told that the solution is steel racking with plastic covers
over the steel.
How are the rest of you supporting your large flooded batteries?
Thanks in advance,
William
