The Rail Mounted Electric Transfer Cart is a heavy-duty material handling solution designed specifically for factories and manufacturing plants.

It runs on fixed steel rails, providing stable and precise point-to-point transport of raw materials, semi-finished products, molds, dies, heavy components, and finished goods between different production areas, assembly lines, and storage zones.

Powered by electric drive technology, this transfer cart eliminates the need for forklifts and cranes for certain repetitive transportation tasks, improving efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and enhancing workplace safety.

This equipment is widely used in industries such as:

• Automotive Manufacturing – handling large parts, stamping dies, and assemblies

• Steel & Metal Processing – transporting slabs, coils, and structural components

• Heavy Machinery – moving oversized mechanical parts and tools

• Shipbuilding – transferring large modules or heavy ship parts

• Foundries & Forging Plants – safe movement of molds and castings

• General Manufacturing – efficient inter-workshop material handling

Key Features

1) Electric Power Drive

• Clean and efficient electric motor system with high torque and smooth operation.

• Low noise, zero emissions, and eco-friendly performance suitable for indoor factory environments.

• Multiple power supply options to fit factory layouts:

  • Onboard battery for cable-free movement and flexible routing.

  • Cable reel system for continuous power along fixed tracks.

  • Sliding contact line for long-distance, uninterrupted operation.

2) Rail-Guided Stability

• Runs along pre-installed steel rails, ensuring stable and precise positioning.

• Ideal for repetitive transportation tasks along fixed routes.

• Reduces risks of material shifting or falling compared to wheeled vehicles.

3) Custom Load Capacity

• Standard models range from 2 tons to 300 tons, with customized designs available for higher capacities.

• Heavy-duty steel frame structure ensures durability and long service life.

• Customizable deck size and structure to match factory-specific loads.

4) Safety-Oriented Design

Equipped with multiple safety systems to ensure secure operation:

• Emergency stop buttons for instant shutdown

• Audible and visual alarms to alert nearby personnel

• Soft start and stop control to protect both the load and equipment

• Limit switches to prevent overtravel

• Optional laser sensors or infrared detection for collision prevention

5) Flexible Operation Modes

• Pendant control – basic wired control for operators near the cart.

• Wireless remote control – safe, long-distance operation for hazardous areas.

• PLC automation – fully automated transfer with integration into smart factories.

6) Versatile Deck Configurations

• Flat deck for general material handling.

• V-frame deck for cylindrical items like coils or rollers.

• Guard rail deck to prevent material sliding during movement.

• Hydraulic lifting deck to load/unload at different heights.

• Roller conveyor deck for integration with automated production lines.
