As a special type of electric flat car, trackless electric transfer cart can be classified according to different standards. The following is a common classification method:
Classification by functional use:
General transportation type: It has basic transportation functions and can flexibly transport various materials between factory sites and workshops. It has a wide range of applications and can meet the handling needs of most conventional materials. For example, in factories in heavy industry, light industry, machinery and other industries, it is used to transport parts, raw materials, etc.
Special function type: It is designed to meet specific work scenarios or process requirements and can be equipped with various auxiliary devices. For example, the installation of a positioning device can achieve precise positioning, which is suitable for occasions with high requirements for the accuracy of material placement; the installation of a clamping device can fix the goods during transportation to prevent them from shaking or sliding, and is often used to transport items that are easy to roll or unstable; the installation of a lifting platform facilitates the lifting and lowering of goods, which is suitable for work scenarios where goods need to be lifted to a certain height.
Classification by degree of automation:
Manual control type: The operator manually controls the direction and speed of the transfer cart, and the operation is relatively simple and direct. It is suitable for scenarios where the transportation route is not fixed and the transportation task is more flexible. The operator can adjust the vehicle's operating status at any time according to the actual situation.
Semi-automatic control type: Some functions can be completed automatically, such as automatic alarm, automatic stop, etc. When encountering pedestrians or obstacles, the safety warning and safety detection devices equipped on the vehicle will immediately alarm and stop automatically, reducing the mistakes and risks of manual operation, but the operator is still required to perform partial control and decision-making.
Fully automatic control type: PCL control system can be installed to achieve fully automated control. It can automatically drive and load and unload goods according to preset procedures and routes without manual intervention, which improves transportation efficiency and accuracy. It is suitable for large-scale production scenarios with high repetitive transportation tasks and fixed transportation routes.
Classification by carrying capacity:
Lightweight trackless electric transfer cart: The carrying capacity is generally less than a few tons, the structure is relatively light, and it is suitable for carrying light items, such as electronic components, small parts, etc. It is frequently used in places such as electronics factories and small processing plants.
Medium-sized trackless electric transfer carts: The carrying capacity is usually between a few tons and more than ten tons, which can meet the transportation needs of common materials in most factories and has a wide range of applications.
Heavy-duty trackless electric transfer carts: The carrying capacity can reach dozens of tons or even hundreds of tons. They are mainly used to transport overweight items such as large equipment and heavy steel, and are generally used in heavy industries such as metallurgy and mining.
