Application

Electric Transfer Carts are characterized by its simple structure, economy and practicality, which makes it the first choice of equipment for material handling in modern industry. This product is widely used in machinery manufacturing workshops, chemical production plants, warehousing and logistics centers and metallurgical processing and other industrial areas, and can efficiently complete the material transfer tasks within the factory, across the workshop and between the building facilities. It is widely used in the following industries and scenarios:

  • Machinery manufacturing industry: inter-workshop transfer of large molds, convergence of precision parts and components, and distribution of heavy equipment assembly lines.
  • Chemical industry: in-plant transportation of reaction vessels, material turnover in explosion-proof areas, distribution of piping system components.
  • warehouse logistics: bulk cargo loading and unloading operations, cross-regional goods allocation, heavy materials in and out of the warehouse transfer.
  • Metallurgical industry: hot transfer of metal slabs, inter-regional transportation of wire rod coils, and warehousing of rolled products.
  • Equipment manufacturing industry: assembly and distribution of large structural parts, turnover of heavy machinery parts, factory shipment of complete machine products.

Working Principle of Electric Transfer Cart

Electric Transfer Cart can be divided into two major types, railed and trackless, according to different ways of guiding, and their working principles are as follows:

Rail Electric Transfer Cart

Rail electric transfer cart realizes physical guidance through preset rails (steel rails or I/U rails), and is driven by motor-driven gears or friction wheels that mesh with the rails for transmission, ensuring high precision positioning of ±2-5mm.

Its power supply includes low-voltage rail power supply (36V/48V DC), cable reel or battery, which is suitable for heavy loads (up to 300 tons) and long-distance transportation. The control system adopts PLC or frequency conversion technology, supports automated scheduling (e.g. RFID positioning), and is suitable for fixed-point, highly repetitive operations, commonly used in iron and steel metallurgy, heavy machinery and three-dimensional warehouse scenarios.

Trackless Electric Transfer Cart

Trackless Electric Transfer Cart relies on magnetic navigation (±10mm), laser navigation (±5mm) or inertial navigation to realize autonomous trajectory, without the need for fixed tracks. Driven by omni-directional wheels (e.g. McNamee wheels) and independent servo motors, they support 360° steering and dynamic path planning.

Powered by Li-ion battery (4-8 hours range), combined with intelligent control system (e.g. ROS algorithm), it can be docked to WMS/ERP and realize multi-vehicle cooperation (AGV cluster). With high flexibility (turning radius <1m) and a load capacity of 0.5-50 tons, they are suitable for flexible production lines, automotive assembly and narrow space operations.
