The BTL trailing cable powered transfer cart is the most straightforward way to move heavy loads on a fixed path.
It draws 380V/660V industrial power through a cable dragged behind the cart. There is no motorized reel, no insulated track, and no battery.
The design is crude but effective: if the cable reaches and the path is clear, the cart runs.
It is built for rough environments—foundries, scrap yards, and outdoor storage areas—where cable wear is expected and budget is tight.
The main limitation is travel distance, typically capped at 80 meters

Q: What is the maximum travel distance for a BTL trailing cable cart?
A: We recommend keeping the travel distance under 80 meters, with optimal performance within 50 meters. Beyond that, the weight of the cable becomes too heavy for the cart to pull efficiently, and voltage drop becomes a concern.
Q: Won't the cable get damaged dragging on the floor?
A: It will wear eventually. That's why we use heavy-duty rubber-sheathed cables
Q: What happens if the cable gets run over by the cart or a forklift?
A: The steel tow chain is designed to take the impact. A direct hit might crush the chain links, but it usually protects the cable inside. If the cable is severed, it can be repaired on-site in under an hour.
Q: Can it run outside in the rain or snow?
A: Yes, provided the power inlet is weatherproof. The cable is waterproof, but the plug connection must be shielded from standing water. The cart itself handles wet surfaces well, provided there is no ice.
Q: BTL vs BJT: Which one do I need?
A: Choose BTL
Q: Does it need a perfectly flat floor?
A: No. BTL carts tolerate minor irregularities (gravel, cracks) better than BJT carts because they don't have a delicate cable reel mechanism hanging low. However, deep pits or steep ramps will still cause problems.
