Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) require safe, efficient material handling solutions for the movement of high-value battery systems and components. Combilift delivers specialised equipment designed to streamline workflows, improve safety and optimise space.

Combilift tackles BESS handling challenges with Multidirectional Forklifts and Straddle Carriers, enabling safe transport of battery modules, racks and containerised energy storage systems.


Our material handling solutions support BESS manufacturing through the safe movement of battery cells, transformers, switchgear and energy storage containers.

Combilift optimises storage capacity and workflow efficiency with narrow aisle solutions and specialised equipment for battery manufacturing, assembly and logistics operations.

battery handling

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) operations depend on the safe movement of heavy, high-value battery modules, racks and containerised storage units throughout manufacturing, assembly and deployment processes. Combilift solutions are designed to handle oversized and sensitive components with precision, allowing operators to transport materials safely while maintaining productivity and minimising the risk of product damage.

Production Flow

Efficient material movement is essential to keeping BESS production schedules on track. Combilift equipment helps streamline the flow of components between receiving, assembly, testing, storage and dispatch areas. By reducing unnecessary load handling and improving manoeuvrability in busy facilities, operations can achieve smoother workflows, reduced bottlenecks and increased throughput.

Load integrity

Battery systems and electrical infrastructure represent a significant investment and require careful handling at every stage of the supply chain. Combilift’s specialist load-handling solutions provide exceptional stability and control during transport, helping to protect sensitive equipment, minimise load movement and maintain product integrity from production through to final installation.

operator protection

Safety is critical when handling large battery assemblies, electrical equipment and containerised energy storage systems. Combilift solutions improve operator visibility, enhance load control and provide greater manoeuvrability in confined environments. This enables safer movement of materials while supporting a more secure working environment across manufacturing plants, warehouses and project sites.

storage optimisation

As demand for battery storage systems continues to grow, maximising available space becomes increasingly important. Combilift equipment is engineered to operate efficiently in narrow aisles and high-density storage environments, enabling facilities to increase storage capacity, improve accessibility and make better use of valuable floor space without expanding their footprint.

deployment efficiency

From component storage and pre-assembly through to loading and site preparation, efficient logistics are essential for successful BESS deployment. Combilift solutions support seamless movement of materials across indoor production facilities, warehouses and outdoor yards, helping businesses accelerate project delivery timelines while maintaining operational efficiency throughout the entire process.

Combi-SC

The Combi-SC Straddle Carrier is the ideal solution for handling containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), battery energy storage containers, utility-scale battery storage units and critical power infrastructure components. Its high-capacity lifting capability and excellent manoeuvrability enable the safe transport of battery storage containers, Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and oversized renewable energy storage assets throughout manufacturing facilities, storage yards and project sites.

combi-cb/cbe

Designed for versatility in confined spaces, the Combi-CB is ideal for battery module transport, battery rack handling and the movement of high-value components used in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Its compact multidirectional design enables operators to safely handle long or bulky loads, improving efficiency, space utilisation and workflow within battery manufacturing, renewable energy storage and energy storage logistics facilities.

C-Series

The COMBI C-Series range of multidirectional forklifts is designed to deliver the safest, most efficient and reliable way to handle long, heavy and high-value BESS components. Combining the benefits of a sideloader, counterbalance and narrow aisle forklift in one machine, it streamlines the movement of battery racks, energy storage containers, switchgear and transformers while maximising space utilisation and productivity in BESS manufacturing facilities.

Aisle Master

The Aisle Master range of articulated VNA forklifts is designed to maximise storage capacity and operational efficiency in BESS manufacturing and warehousing environments. Combining narrow aisle performance with the versatility to operate both indoors and outdoors, it enables the safe handling of battery components, energy storage equipment and palletised loads in aisles as narrow as 1.6m. By reducing aisle widths and optimising racking layouts, Aisle Master can increase warehouse capacity by up to 50%, helping BESS manufacturers improve productivity, reduce storage costs and make better use of existing floor space.

Combi-WR 4

The Combi-WR 4 is a pedestrian reach stacker engineered for the efficient handling of battery modules, battery packs, electrical assemblies and other components within Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Energy Storage System (ESS) and battery manufacturing environments. Its compact design and narrow aisle capability help maximise storage capacity while ensuring precise load handling in space-constrained facilities. With a patented multi-position tiller arm and pantograph reach mechanism, the Combi-WR 4 improves operator visibility, control and safety, supporting efficient operations across battery production, energy storage logistics and renewable energy supply chains.
