Battery are Heavy! Lift them Correctly
Batteries are heavy, lifting them improperly can cause damage to many different portions of the human body. Do take care to lift batteries that are within your limits. Lift batteries with your legs bent, back straight, and head up. Do not curl your back as you lift large batteries or you can end up with a broken back, hernia, or worse.
Batteries should be loaded one at a time on a pallet, on top of a disposable, absorbent material, like cardboard. Stack batteries tightly, and neatly, ensuring that pallets are not overloaded. Typically scrap batteries are stacked three rows tall to avoid damage to lower level battery containers, and subsequent acid spills. When in doubt, only stack spent batteries two tiers tall. For new batteries, many manufacturers ship two tiers of boxes stacked per pallet, to protect the terminals on the lowest level.
The EPA, in conjunction with the DOT, stipulates that loads of spent batteries in excess of 1000 pounds require HAZ MAT placards, and associated paperwork. Less is more when it comes to recycling the batteries in your operation. Just ensure that you take loads of less than 1000 pounds to the local auto parts store, or BD Batteries when you recycle your spent batteries.
