Overview
Motorized transfer carts move the loads that would otherwise need a forklift or an overhead crane, such as pipe, dies, coils, structural steel and finished assemblies. The standard range runs from 5,000 to 30,000 lb, and builds up to 40,000 lb are engineered on request.
Rail carts follow single or dual rails on V-groove or flanged steel wheels and suit a fixed route and very long loads, with mother and daughter pairs for loads that overhang one cart. Steerable carts are trackless on polyurethane or rubber wheels and turn tightly in crowded aisles.
AC induction motors drive and steer the cart. Speed control goes down to 0.1 mph, with ranges of 0.1 to 1.5 mph or 0.1 to 3 mph. Regenerative braking returns energy to the battery, and swappable 48 volt AGM or lithium iron phosphate packs keep around the clock work moving.
The deck is sized to your load and can carry a flat steel plate, a hydraulic lift or a top that secures your equipment. Controls are a tiller on a mast or a wireless joystick. Every cart in this line is built to order, so it is priced by written quote. Send us what you move, its weight and size, and the route it travels, including doors, elevators and ramps. We confirm the build with the factory and send the quote with the lead time.
Options
- Rail guided or steerable
- Hydraulic lift, tilt or rotate deck
- Built in scale
- Tiller or wireless joystick control
- Horn and lights during travel
- Perimeter safety scanners
- Swappable AGM or lithium battery packs
Questions
How much can a transfer cart move?
The standard range is 5,000 to 30,000 lb, and builds up to 40,000 lb are engineered on request. Tell us the weight, length and route of the load.
Do I need rails in my plant?
Only for a rail cart. Steerable carts run trackless on polyurethane or rubber wheels and need no floor work. We help you choose before anything is quoted.
How slowly can it move a heavy load?
Down to 0.1 mph, with full torque at that crawl, so the operator can inch a coil or a die into place.
Can the cart lift or tilt the load?
Yes. Hydraulic lifts and decks that lift, tilt or rotate are available, along with built in scales.
How do I get a price?
Call us or send the form. Tell us what you move, the route and your ZIP. We send a written quote with the machine, freight and build time.
How does it arrive?
Most machines go by freight truck from the factory. Parts and smaller items can go by FedEx or UPS. Freight to your ZIP is on your quote before you order. Rush and overnight shipping cost extra. We sell and ship to US addresses only.
