Crown Battery Tension Bar Assembly – CR125237-281

Crown builds this battery tension bar assembly to hold the battery pack firmly in its compartment on Crown lift trucks, clamping the battery down so it cannot shift, rise, or walk under the acceleration, braking, and turning of a working shift. At 95 pounds it is a heavy steel bar, sized to span and secure a full industrial battery rather than a light retainer.

A secured battery matters for more than tidiness: a pack that moves in its tray stresses cables and terminals, chafes insulation, and throws off the truck's weight distribution, so the tension bar is doing real structural work every time the truck runs. This unit carries the 281 length designation, one of the lengths Crown catalogs across its battery compartments.

Because compartment length drives whether the bar spans correctly, match the 281 length to the battery tray it has to cross, since a tension bar of the wrong span will not clamp the pack down as intended. Forklifts Etc. supplies it as a direct replacement for a bent, corroded, or missing original.
