Battery replacement system for an industrial truck
First Claim
1. A battery replacement system for an industrial truck comprises the following features:
- an industrial truck having an electrical propulsion drive;
the industrial truck including at least one battery compartment for holding a battery block;
the battery block movable in a horizontal direction into the battery compartment or out of the battery compartment; and
an external holding apparatus, which is independent of the industrial truck, and provided for the battery block,wherein the industrial truck is maneuverable over the holding apparatus such that the holding apparatus can be positioned beneath the battery compartment,wherein the battery block, when located within the battery compartment, can be lifted by means of the holding apparatus,wherein a force required to lift the battery block can be produced by the electrical propulsion drive of the industrial truck, andwherein the holding apparatus has an inclined path arranged such that the path makes contact with the battery block during relative movement of the industrial truck with respect to the holding apparatus such that the path lifts the battery block as a consequence of the propulsion movement of the industrial truck.

Abstract
A battery replacement system for an industrial truck has an electrical propulsion drive and at least one battery compartment for holding a battery block. The battery block can be moved essentially in a horizontal direction into the battery compartment or out of the battery compartment. An external holding apparatus independent of the industrial truck is provided for the battery block. The industrial truck can be maneuvered over the holding apparatus such that the holding apparatus is positioned beneath the battery compartment. The battery block located within the battery compartment can be lifted slightly by the holding apparatus. The force required to lift the battery block can be produced by the electrical propulsion drive.
