The Non-Motorized Rail Transport Cart is a manual or towed type rail-guided material handling trolley, designed for efficient movement of goods, equipment, and components along fixed rail tracks within workshops or production facilities.
This cost-effective solution provides simple structure, high load capacity, and low maintenance, making it ideal for short-distance and intermittent transport tasks in industrial environments.
Product Overview
Unlike powered transfer carts, this non-motorized version does not include a drive motor. It is moved manually or towed by other equipment such as forklifts, winches, or powered transfer vehicles.
The cart runs smoothly on steel rails, ensuring stable and guided movement, and is suitable for flat workshop floors or interbay transfer lines.
Structural Features
Load Capacity: 1–150 tons (customizable).
Platform Type: Flat deck or custom fixture design for specific materials.
Frame Structure: Heavy-duty welded steel frame (Q235B / Q345B).
Wheel Material: High-strength forged steel or cast steel with wear-resistant treatment.
Rail Type: P43 / P50 / QU series standard steel rails.
Running Mode: Manual push or towline connection to a powered cart.
