Industrial batteries
Batteries, factory direct.
Forklift and industrial batteries at factory-direct pricing, shipped to your dock. Tell us the truck and the shift pattern and we will tell you what actually fits.
Read this part first.
A battery is a five-year decision, so it is worth getting the questions right.
- The truck decides the trayMake, model, and serial. The battery compartment dimensions and the required weight are not negotiable.
- Your shift pattern decides the chemistryOne shift and a lunch break is a different problem from three shifts and no downtime.
- We ship, we do not installYou arrange the install and the disposal of the old one, or we help you find someone.
- Ask about the chargerThe wrong charger will shorten a good battery's life. It is worth a sentence on the call.
Lead-acid or lithium.
The honest version, without a sales pitch attached.
Lead-acid costs less up front
Still the right answer for single-shift operations that park and charge overnight.
Lead-acid needs watering
Real labour, on a schedule. Skip it and you kill the battery early.
Lithium costs more up front
And charges opportunistically, so it suits multi-shift work where downtime is the expensive thing.
Lithium needs no watering
No watering, no equalising, no battery room ventilation. That is the part people underestimate.
How pricing works.
Same principle as the rest of the business.
- Factory direct
- Manufacturer pricing rather than a distributor layer.
- Quoted per order
- Voltage, capacity, tray size, and chemistry all move it.
- Freight is a line item
- Batteries are heavy and freight is real. It is shown separately.
- Send your specs
- Truck make, model, serial, and shift pattern. That is everything we need.
Tell us what you need.
We answer within two hours, 9 to 5, seven days a week.
Industrial batteries questions.
The five that come up before someone buys.
What do you need from me to quote?
Truck make, model, and serial, plus how many shifts you run. Serial gets us the exact tray dimensions.
Lead-acid or lithium?
Single shift with overnight charging, lead-acid usually still wins on cost. Multi-shift where downtime hurts, lithium. We will say which one your operation actually is.
Do you install or dispose of the old one?
No. We ship to your dock. You arrange install and disposal, or we help you find someone local.
Do you supply chargers?
Ask. The charger and the battery need to match, and a mismatch shortens the life of a good battery.
Is this related to the Smartlift rental business?
Same company, different business. Rentals are Smartlift vacuum lifters. This is batteries.
Our other lines.
Iron Bay's main business is Smartlift rental across Florida. These sit alongside it.
