As the core equipment of power systems, the transportation and installation of large transformers have always been industry challenges. These devices typically weigh from several tons to several hundred tons, with enormous dimensions, and are highly sensitive to vibration, tilting, and impact. Traditional manual handling methods are not only inefficient but also involve significant handling risks. However, the electric flat car for transporting large transformers custom-produced by our company simultaneously addresses safety and flexibility during transportation, while also resolving issues related to handling efficiency and precision. Let’s explore the advantages of the electric flat car in solving large transformer transportation challenges.
Why Choose an Electric Flat Car for Transformers？
Large transformers are not only bulky and heavy but also highly sensitive to movement-induced vibrations and tilting during handling. It is important to note that large transformers are precision-sensitive equipment, and any mishap during transportation could result in expensive repair costs or project delays. The electric flat cart is specifically designed and manufactured for heavy-duty and precise transportation. Its low center of gravity ensures smooth transportation of transformers weighing over 50 tons. Moreover, our current power modes utilize electric, rail, or wired drives, which also reduce noise and pollution within factories, making it highly suitable for indoor environments such as power plants or factories.
As the primary equipment for transporting transformers, our electric flat bed cart can also be custom-produced. Since the usage environment, size, dimensions, and weight of transformers are never identical, our electric flat carriage can be customized based on specific load-bearing capacity, platform dimensions, and even control systems. For example, if a transformer needs to be transported at an outdoor construction site with complex terrain, we can equip it with reinforced tires and shock absorption capabilities. If it is intended for use in narrow indoor spaces, the trackless electric flat car can flexibly avoid obstacles without the need for fixed tracks.
The electric flat car possesses the following features:
1. Exceptional Load Capacity, Stability, and Reliability:
- Constructed with high-strength steel and special structural design, its load capacity can reach hundreds of tons, easily handling the weight of large transformers.
- Equipped with advanced hydraulic systems or mechanical synchronization devices to ensure smooth platform lifting, preventing vibration or impact during transportation.
- The low-speed operation characteristic of the electric flat car enables precise positioning, easily aligning the transformer with installation points or storage areas.
2. Flexible Maneuverability and Precise Positioning:
- The trackless electric flat car features wireless remote control operation, allowing operators to control the flat car from a distance, ensuring safety.
- Multiple drive modes are available, such as wheeled or tracked, to adapt to different site environments.
- Fitted with high-precision positioning systems, it achieves millimeter-level accuracy, facilitating the installation and placement of transformers.
3. Comprehensive Safety Protection:
- Electric flat cars are equipped with multiple safety protection devices, such as overload alarms, emergency braking, and anti-tipping mechanisms, ensuring maximum transportation safety.
- Explosion-proof motors and electrical components are used, making them suitable for special environments like flammable or explosive areas.
4. Intelligence and Efficiency, Saving Time and Labor:
- The electric flat carriage can be optionally equipped with an intelligent control system for automated operation and remote monitoring, improving work efficiency.
- Modular design allows for easy disassembly and transportation, reducing usage costs.
