What is a Plastic Battery Tray?

We are referring to lead acid batteries that are used in trucks, buses, caravans and boats. To protect the vehicle from the corrosive nature of the acid from the battery specially fabricated plastic trays are used to retain any leaks or spillage. In some cases it is necessary to include guide rails to slip the battery into place.

Benefits of Fabricated Plastic Battery Trays and Guides

Chemical and corrosive resistance – plastics in general have very high chemical and corrosive resistant, With Polytone 300, Polystone P and Trovidur EC-N being the most common and suitable materials to fabricated Battery Trays.
Customisable – Plastic fabricated battery trays can easily be customized to suit the individual and unique battery storage and fixing requirements in vehicles.
Low Friction – The low friction of plastics such as Polystone 7000 is ideal for guide rails.

Dotmar has qualified engineers that can provide direct support with fabricated plastic battery trays.

MATERIAL SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

Material selection is a critical consideration when choosing a plastic bogie wear part, as it directly impacts the performance, durability, and maintenance requirements of these components. Here are some key material selection considerations for plastic bogie wear parts:

Chemical resistance

It is imperative that the material is resistant to the potential chemicals that it may be exposed to.

Friction

For Guide rails smooth and easy operation is achieved by having a material that not only has a low co-efficient of friction, but also low “Stick-Slip”.

Weatherability

Will the material be subject to any weathering or other environmental considerations that needs to be taken into account when selecting a suitable material?

Regulatory Requirements

Does the application have regulatory requirements such as fire-retardant compliance, or other regulatory approvals?
