Welcome to the world of battery rooms, where precision meets innovation.

Setting up a battery room in a distribution center or warehouse facility is a complex undertaking. Adequate space, planning, compliance with safety regulations, choosing the optimal power, and ongoing maintenance are all critical considerations to ensure smooth operation.

At East Penn Canada, we understand that setting up a battery room is no small feat.

Whether you are building a new warehouse or distribution center, transitioning your fleet from internal combustion to electric, or accommodating growth within your existing fleet, designing and installing the optimal battery room requires expert navigation. That’s where we come in.

Let’s dive into the essentials of battery room design and discover how our customized solutions make the process seamless.

What is a Battery Room?

A battery room is more than just a space; it’s the heart of your energy operations, where batteries are stored, charged, and maintained. It’s a hub that powers your business; getting it right is crucial. With East Penn Canada, you’re not just building a room but crafting a powerhouse of efficiency and safety.

The Blueprint of Success: Layout and Design

The blueprint of any successful battery room starts with its layout and design. It’s about creating a space that’s both functional and safe. Our team at East Penn Canada brings over three decades of experience to the table, ensuring that every square inch of your battery room is optimized for storage, charging, and safety.

“Ensuring the layout and design stage are well thought out will ensure a smoother operation of the battery room, whether it is a new facility or one being converted.” — Andrew Marsh, National Account Executive, East Penn Canada.

The Foundation: Health and Safety

At East Penn Canada, we understand that health and safety form the foundation of your operations. Our designs include acid-proof flooring to protect against spills and a ventilation system that meets the highest standards. We don’t just meet the code; we set the benchmark for safety.

From eyewash stations to fire containment systems, we leave no stone unturned. Our comprehensive emergency procedures ensure that you’re prepared for anything. We also provide training, including battery and charger operation, to ensure your team knows how to use the equipment and follow safety protocols. We make sure your operations are equipped with proper health and safety equipment, such as:

• Acid spill kits
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Eye-wash stations
• Fire suppression systems
• Clearly marked emergency exits

“Implementing proper health and safety measures is crucial for preventing accidents and effectively managing them when they occur. Regular audits are essential to ensure everything remains up to code.” — Frank Medeiros, Western Region | Sales Manager, East Penn Canada.

The Backbone: Proper Storage

Proper storage is the backbone of any battery room. It’s not just about stacking batteries; it’s about creating a system that optimizes space safely and efficiently. At East Penn Canada, we collaborate with premium partners to evaluate space requirements for batteries and chargers while also ensuring adequate airflow around them. This allows us to provide you with the best racking system solution tailored to your needs.

The Lifeline: Charger Mounting Solutions

Battery chargers are the lifeline of your battery room, and mounting them correctly is paramount. We ensure that every charger is installed with precision, providing the correct voltage and easy access for your team. Proper installation not only maximizes efficiency but also extends the lifespan of your equipment. Additionally, well-organized charging stations contribute to a safer and more productive work environment.

“When setting up a battery room, being thorough is always key. Every charging station must be easily accessible and properly marked to avoid issues.” — Scott Allain, Eastern Region | Sales Manager, East Penn Canada.

Our commitment to meticulous installation and clear labelling helps prevent downtime and ensures that your team can operate smoothly and safely.
