Cases for traction and industrial batteries are produced at Pinsk Experimental Mechanical Plant, a company within the 1AK-GROUP holding.
This area includes serial and custom production of boxes for traction and industrial batteries: from drawing and technical specification to a finished product. Cases are adapted to the geometry of the battery compartment, the type of battery system, operating conditions and protection requirements.
The cases are intended for PzS batteries, industrial battery solutions and custom projects. They are used where strength, dimensional accuracy, protection against moisture, electrolyte, abrasive exposure and regular industrial cleaning are important.
The production process includes cutting, bending, assembly, welding, shot-blasting surface preparation and application of protective polymer coating. Before painting, the surface is cleaned and prepared to ensure reliable adhesion of the coating to the metal. The polymer coating is applied in a fluidized bed and forms a dense, uniform protective layer.
This coating increases the case’s resistance to electrolyte, moisture, abrasion, chipping and mechanical loads that occur during the operation of traction batteries in warehouse, industrial and special-purpose equipment.
Standard cases are used for typical traction batteries and industrial batteries. They are made of steel and pass through cutting, bending, assembly, welding, shot-blasting surface preparation and protective polymer coating application.
After metal preparation, the polymer coating forms an even protective layer resistant to moisture, electrolyte, abrasive exposure, chipping and regular industrial cleaning. This is important for traction batteries that operate under constant vibration, contact with process fluids, equipment movement and battery maintenance.

Custom cases are manufactured to the customer’s specific dimensions, configuration and operating conditions. This format is suitable for projects where a standard case does not match the battery compartment, weight, layout, mounting method or protection requirements.
Design takes into account the dimensions of the battery system, weight, battery type, mounting points, operating environment, coating requirements and ease of maintenance. After manufacturing, the case undergoes surface preparation and protective polymer coating, which helps extend product service life in industrial operation.
When selecting a traction battery, it is important to consider not only capacity, but also equipment type, battery compartment, work shift, charging mode, maintenance requirements and operating conditions.
| Selection criterion | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Technology type | PzS or Li-Ion / LFP |
| Equipment type | Forklift, stacker, towing tractor, reach truck, cleaning machine, robotic equipment |
| Operating mode | Single-shift, intensive or multi-shift operation |
| Capacity | Selected according to required operating time |
| Voltage | Depends on the equipment and battery configuration |
| Dimensions | Must match the battery compartment |
| Weight | Important for equipment stability and balance |
| Charging infrastructure | Compatibility with charger and operating mode |
| Maintenance | Classic PzS maintenance or minimized maintenance in Li-Ion |
| Case | Standard or custom, according to equipment requirements |
For equipment with classic charging infrastructure, clear maintenance and industrial operation, PzS is often selected. This solution is suitable for warehouse, logistics and production equipment where service life, maintainability and stable operation during a shift are important.
For projects where fast charging, battery management system, telemetry, reduced maintenance and adaptation to a specific operating profile are important, Li-Ion / LFP solutions are used. They are especially relevant for intensive operation, robotic equipment, electric transport and custom industrial projects.
