Yes, I think, even back then, they were designed for safety, with sturdy overhead cages, and bolted down batteries. I can just imagine what a forklift battery would do to a person. That one was about four feet long, three feet wide and four feet deep. I wouldn't even estimate the weight. But it must be close to 1000 lbs, because we used to hook a chain to the battery and lift it out with another forklift when the battery needed changing, usually once per shift.
