Choosing a suitable material transfer cart starts with determining its power source—whether you need it for indoor material handling, outdoor heavy-duty operations, or special environments such as high-temperature or dust-free areas, the power system must match the load capacity requirements, operating routes, and environmental standards.
Battery-powered transfer carts are a type of cart that does not require rails or cables, with power supplied by batteries.
Core Configuration: Lithium-ion battery / lead-acid battery, matched with high-efficiency motor and intelligent charger
Applicable Scenarios: Short-distance material handling in workshops, sites without fixed power supply, and environments with strict requirements on noise and pollution (e.g., electronics factories, food processing plants, pharmaceutical workshops)
Core Advantages: No cable constraints, flexible movement (supports manual/remote control/automatic control), low noise, and convenient connection with production lines
Cable-powered transfer carts get power through ground or overhead cables, making them a reliable choice for high-frequency, heavy-load sites.
Core Configuration: Cable power supply, cable laying system, motor controller
Applicable Scenarios: Long-distance fixed-route material handling (e.g., factory production lines, warehouse aisles), high-frequency heavy-load operations (e.g., steel mills, ports, foundries)
Core Advantages: Continuous power supply without endurance limitations, stable power output, and strong load-bearing capacity
This type of transfer cart requires pre-laid cables (initial site modification cost is relatively high), with fixed routes, and is not suitable for scenarios that require frequent lane changes.
Specially designed for ultra-heavy loads and harsh industrial environments.
Applicable Scenarios: Fixed-route material handling with existing rails, heavy equipment transportation (e.g., machine tools, steel billets), high-temperature/dusty environments (e.g., steelmaking workshops, foundries)
Core Advantages: Stable power supply, extremely low maintenance costs, extremely strong load-bearing capacity, and suitable for 24/7 high-intensity operations
