Rail/Track Transfer Carts(Trolleys) for Smooth Material Handling

Rail transfer cart is a transport vehicle that travels on fixed tracks. It is commonly used in factories, warehouses, mines, and other locations for short-distance transportation of large quantities of goods. Rail-guided electric transfer trolleys can be customized according to specific needs to meet the logistics and transportation requirements of different sites. Based on the power supply method, rail transfer trolleys can be divided into battery-powered, busbar powered, low-voltage rail powered, cable drum powered, and cable chain powered.

KPX Battery-powered Rail Transfer Cart

Powered by batteries installed inside the cart, the power is provided to the DC traction motor through an electrical control system, enabling the transfer cart to start, stop, move forward, reverse, and adjust speed smoothly.
This series of electric transfer trolleys can be used on vertical tracks, L-shaped tracks, S-shaped tracks, curved tracks, and in explosive or ferrying environments.
A hydraulic lifting system can be installed on the transfer cart.
The DC motor on the transfer cart enables smooth starting, has high starting torque, impacts the reducer less, operates at low voltage, and has a long service life.
Compared to other electric transfer carts, its running distance is not limited, and the track installation requirements are not high, making it suitable for various transportation scenarios.
However, the batteries require regular maintenance, and their limited capacity restricts the usage time.

KPD Low-voltage Rail Powered Rail Transfer Cart

KPDS Low Voltage Rail Powered Electric Transfer Cart

By using a step-down transformer, the three-phase 380V AC is reduced to a safe voltage of 36V and connected to three tracks. The power pickup device on the electric flat car introduces the 36V current into the car, which is then stepped up to 380V by an onboard step-up transformer to power the traction motor. The control system manages the start, stop, forward, and backward movements of the transfer vehicle.
This series of cars can run on S-shaped tracks and curved tracks. It offers high safety performance and strong flexibility during use. However, the running track requires insulation treatment and has high requirements for track laying. When the running distance exceeds 70 meters, a transformer needs to be added to compensate for the voltage drop.
This series of electric flat cars is suitable for places with heavy loads and high usage frequency, and can meet the requirements for full automation.

KPDZ Low Voltage Rail Powered Electric Transfer Cart

The 380V AC power supply is reduced to AC 36V through a transformer and connected to two tracks. The power pickup device on the electric flat car introduces the AC 36V power from the tracks into the onboard electrical box. The control system manages the motor’s start, stop, forward, backward, and speed control.
This series of cars can be used on S-shaped tracks, curved tracks, and in high-temperature environments. A PLC system can also be added for full automation control.
This series of electric flat cars features high safety, strong maneuverability, high usage frequency, long operation time, long service life, and unlimited running distance.
The requirements for track laying are high (insulation treatment is needed). If the running distance exceeds 80 meters, the number of transformers needs to be increased to compensate for the voltage drop on the tracks.
