Low Voltage Rail Transfer Cart

1–150 Ton Electric Transfer Cart for Heavy-Duty Industrial Material Handling

Industrial Transfer Cart, powered by low-voltage rail, is a transport and transfer equipment used for moving heavy materials within a factory. It serves a similar function to forklifts and cranes and is commonly used in factories, warehouses, ports, and production workshops.

An Industrial Transfer Cart requires electricity to operate, and low-voltage rail power supply is one of the available options. Conductive strips (made of copper or aluminum) are laid along the track and connected to a 48V or 36V DC power source. The electric flat cart has a power pole that makes contact with the track to obtain electricity, which then drives the wheels, enabling the cart to move forward, backward, and stop.

The Industrial Transfer Cart is equipped with both a wireless remote control and a wired handle. The operator can control the cart’s movement via the handle or remote control. Using the remote control, the operator can monitor the surrounding environment and immediately stop the cart in case of an emergency.

When designing the electric flat cart, Peisa Machinery Company prioritized user safety. Therefore, several safety protection devices were incorporated into the design from the beginning, including overload protection, short-circuit protection, an emergency brake, warning lights, and a buzzer, ensuring safety during transportation.

The low-voltage rail transfer carts designed by Henan PEISA Machinery offer rated load capacities ranging from 1 to 150 tons, with designs available for capacities of up to 200 or even 500 tons. Customization is not limited to load capacity; the cart dimensions can also be tailored to match the size of the materials being transported.

The low-voltage rail power supply allows the cart to operate continuously, making it ideal for high-frequency transport tasks and three-shift operations. These carts can be used in a wide range of applications, from small-tonnage production lines to moving heavy equipment within warehouses.

How does it work?

The low voltage rail system is connected to a 380V high-voltage power supply. A transformer converts this to a safer low voltage of 36V or 48V.

Power pickup devices installed on the cart collect power from the rails through contact with the conductive rail. The power is then converted to the required operating voltage and supplied to the electrical control box.

When the cart receives a signal from the remote control, the motor and gearbox start working together to drive the wheels, allowing the cart to move along the rails.

380V AC → Transformer → 36/48V AC/DC → Conductive Rail → Power Pickup → Motor → Gearbox → Wheels
