ABSTRACT:
A battery lift apparatus, for use with an overhead air hoist, adapted to lift and load heavy vehicle batteries into a tray of an electric powered vehicle including a rectangular-shaped carrier beam of electrically insulative plastic material, formed with a plurality of manifold passageways which, in combination with a plurality of flexible lines, provide a distribution network for supplying pressurized system air to a plurality of suction assemblies mounted on the beam. First and second handles, secured adjacent opposite end faces of the beam, enable a pair of operators to readily position each battery on the tray. The first actuator handle is mounted by a bracket assembly supporting a valve block pair of valve unit actuators controlling up and down movement of the air hoist cable, and a pilot valve actuator is adapted for supplying vacuum releasing system air to each vacuum cup. The first handle bracket assembly, which allows rotational ergonomic adjustment of the first handle, supports the valve actuators for operation by a finger of the operator's hand gripping the first handle.
