The reliability, performance and efficiency of any motive power solution are key elements of any intralogistics operation. Our trak | care and traction battery services and solutions allow you to maximise the lifetime and safety of your batteries. The trak | care services include:
Inspection of Traction Batteries
By performing a technical inspection of your battery, we detail the overall condition, which will give you a good understanding of the current condition, minimise potential failures and guarantee reliable and safe operation moving forward.
Cleaning of Traction Batteries
A clean battery is imperative to avoid accidents and property damage, as well as to extend the service life and availability of your batteries. Cleaning cell carriers, trays, racks, and insulators is necessary to maintain the required insulation, along with avoiding damage caused by corrosion and creeping.
Topping-Up Cells
A vented battery contains demineralised water in each cell, which, together with sulphuric acid, ensures the chemical process functions properly. If not supplied with enough water, the lead plates can become “dry,” causing damage and a reduction in capacity. During charging and discharging, the water evaporates; therefore, it is important to check water levels and refill where necessary to ensure optimum performance. It is also vital that the cells are not overfilled, which could cause leaks during use and charging
Charger Inspection
During a charger inspection, we put your chargers through their paces. The regular maintenance and revision of your chargers is a legal requirement which will help guarantee safety for your employees and your equipment.
Equalisation Charge
An equalisation or calibration charge can be required in a number of situations. If the cell voltage between individual cells becomes largely different, an equalisation charge is used to bring all cells back to a consistent voltage level. A deep discharge, sulphation of the battery due to insufficient charging or temperature differences between the cells over a long period of time, can require calibration. Deviations in electrolyte density or voltage values can also require an equalisation charge.

trak | care FAQs
trak | care is HUBTEX Australia’s specialised service and support offering for motive power systems, with a focus on traction battery services and battery lifecycle management. The service is designed to help industrial fleets maintain optimal performance from their traction batteries, reduce unexpected downtime, and extend the usable life of key components. With regular check-ups, inspections, and tailored maintenance plans, trak | care ensures that your battery systems remain reliable and productive across multiple shifts and operational environments.
Traction batteries are the heart of electric industrial trucks and material handling vehicles. Without proper maintenance, batteries can lose capacity prematurely, charge inefficiently, or fail unexpectedly, leading to reduced uptime and increased operating costs. HUBTEX’s traction battery services help businesses monitor battery health, perform technical inspections, optimise charging strategies, and detect issues before they impact performance. This proactive approach improves reliability and helps control long-term energy costs across your fleet.
trak | care is structured to support a broad range of traction batteries used in industrial trucks, including lead-acid, lithium and other traction battery technologies. Whether your fleet relies on traditional battery systems or advanced energy storage solutions, the trak | care team can assess performance, recommend the right maintenance protocols, and help optimise power usage for your specific application. This level of support ensures that your motive power systems deliver consistent performance throughout their lifecycle.
HUBTEX’s trak equipment service focuses on comprehensive battery system care, including periodic inspections, performance testing, charging optimisation and preventative maintenance. By identifying potential issues early, such as reduced capacity or inefficient charge cycles, HUBTEX technicians can address problems before they cause unplanned downtime. This systematic approach keeps motive power systems operating at peak efficiency and helps ensure that your material handling fleet remains productive day after day.
To begin with trak | care traction battery services, contact the HUBTEX team to schedule an initial assessment or inspection of your traction battery fleet. During this consultation, our experts will review your current power infrastructure, discuss your usage patterns and create a tailored service plan that aligns with your operational goals. This personalised approach helps ensure that your motive power systems remain reliable, efficient and cost-effective over the long term.
