🔋 Collaborative Engineering in Action | BESS Battery Extractor Tool
A great example of what can be achieved when specialist engineering capabilities come together.
ACM Engineering Services was approached by the client to develop a purpose-built solution to assist operational teams with the safe and controlled removal, maintenance and replacement of large battery cells within Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) modules.
To bring the solution to life, ACM partnered with JMB Engineering and Specialised Engineering Technologies (SET), combining the specialist capabilities of all three businesses.
The project brought together:
⚙️ ACM Engineering Services Pty Ltd – Mechanical engineering, fabrication and overall solution development
📐 JMB Group (Engineering & Automation) – Design and engineering
⚡ SET - Specialised Engineering Technologies PTY LTD – Build, installation and commissioning
The result was a purpose-built BESS Battery Extractor Tool, designed specifically around the client’s operational and maintenance requirements.
Key features include:
• Forklift-mounted for easy positioning and operation
• Fully self-contained with onboard batteries
• Integrated control system
• Variable speed drive motor
• Hand pendant operation for operator control
From initial concept and engineering through to fabrication, build and commissioning, the project was a genuinely collaborative effort between ACM Engineering Services, JMB Engineering and SET.
By bringing together complementary mechanical, engineering, electrical and commissioning capabilities, the team delivered a practical, fit-for-purpose solution designed for real-world BESS maintenance.
