Camco Battery Tray for Group 24/24M Batteries Heavy Duty Plastic

Description

Product Overview

The Camco Battery Tray is engineered specifically for group 24 and 24M automotive batteries, delivering a secure cradle that prevents movement and damage during transport, storage, or service. Constructed from a high‑impact, acid‑resistant polymer, the tray resists corrosion from battery electrolyte, extending the life of both the tray and the battery it protects. The material choice also contributes to a lightweight yet robust solution, making it easy for technicians to handle while still providing the durability required in demanding workshop environments.

Heavy‑duty plastic is complemented by stainless‑steel hardware, including reinforced brackets and fasteners that anchor the tray to vehicle frames or service carts. This combination of materials ensures that the tray can withstand the rigors of daily use, from repeated loading and unloading to exposure to harsh chemicals and temperature fluctuations. The stainless‑steel components are polished to a smooth finish, reducing the risk of scratches on battery casings and simplifying cleaning procedures.

Designed to accommodate batteries up to 11 1/8 inches long, 6 ¾ inches wide, and 8 inches high, the tray offers a generous interior space that fits the majority of group 24/24M batteries on the market. The overall dimensions of the tray—approximately 11 9/16 inches by 8 ½ inches by 9 5/8 inches—provide ample clearance for battery terminals and cables, while the recessed edges keep the battery centered and stable. Precise molding ensures a snug fit without excessive pressure that could deform the battery case.</n

Camco’s tray meets U.S. Coast Guard CFR 183.420 and ABYC E‑10.7 specifications, a testament to its compliance with industry safety standards. The design has been patented to protect the unique geometry that locks the battery in place, reducing the likelihood of slippage during vehicle movement or when the tray is used on a rolling service platform. This compliance not only satisfies regulatory requirements but also gives end‑users confidence in the product’s reliability.

Durability is further enhanced by the tray’s reinforced corners and ribbed interior structure, which distribute load evenly across the battery’s surface. This engineering approach minimizes stress concentrations that could lead to cracks or deformation over time. The tray’s surface is treated with a UV‑stable coating, protecting it from sun‑induced brittleness when stored outdoors or in bright workshop environments.

Each Camco Battery Tray is packaged in a compact, recyclable cardboard box that includes a quick‑start guide, installation hardware, and a warranty card. The packaging is designed for easy stacking and shipping, reducing logistical costs for distributors and retailers. Upon opening, the tray is ready for immediate use, with all necessary components pre‑assembled to streamline the installation process.

Usage

Mechanics and service technicians will find the Camco Battery Tray indispensable when performing battery replacements, diagnostics, or routine maintenance on a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars to light trucks. The tray’s secure hold allows technicians to lift and position batteries without fear of accidental drops, improving safety and efficiency on the shop floor.

In automotive repair shops, the tray can be placed on rolling carts or workbench surfaces, enabling seamless movement of batteries between service bays. Its acid‑resistant construction protects work surfaces from spills, while the stainless‑steel hardware prevents corrosion that could compromise the tray’s integrity over time.

DIY enthusiasts benefit from the tray’s user‑friendly design when performing battery swaps at home garages. The lightweight nature of the plastic body makes it easy to handle without additional lifting equipment, yet the sturdy hardware provides the confidence needed for safe battery handling.

For fleet operators and mobile service units, the tray’s compliance with Coast Guard specifications ensures that batteries are secured during transport, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous material handling. The tray can be fastened to vehicle frames or transport crates, keeping batteries stable even on uneven roads.
