Carney Battery Changing Systems

The CBH BBE Series Man-Aboard Battery Bull is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and safety in high-volume, high-density battery changing environments. Designed for demanding operations, the system is available in configurations ranging from single-level up to six-level setups, making it ideal for facilities handling large battery fleets or operating within limited floor space.

As the industry’s only fully electric man-aboard system with no hydraulics, the BBE Series eliminates the risks of oil leaks while significantly reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. Advanced PLC-controlled Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) work in tandem with electric gearboxes to power both lift and drive functions simultaneously, ensuring smooth, energy-efficient operation and precise control.

Built for flexibility, the BBE platform is also available in semi-automated and fully automated versions, allowing operations to scale efficiency and automation as needed. With robust construction, intelligent controls, and high-performance components, the BBE Battery Bull is a future-ready solution for modern battery handling.
