Optimization of Heavy Casting Handling in Hardware Machinery Workshop for 4-ton Electric Rail Flat Car

2025-12-29

Project Background

This factory is a medium-sized hardware machinery manufacturer, mainly producing 2-4 tons of metal castings such as valve bodies and machine bases.
The previous factory relied on forklifts to transport castings between the casting workshop and the processing station. However, this method has led to frequent operational bottlenecks.
The aisle in the factory workshop is only 2.5 meters wide, making it difficult for forklifts to enter and transport. Each transportation of materials takes more than 20 minutes, including repeated positioning and manual alignment, and limited visibility during forklift operations can also pose some transportation safety risks to their site ..

Difficulties faced by customers

Low transmission efficiency: The forklift takes about 20 minutes from loading to unloading when entering the workshop, which is extremely inefficient
Severely limited space: narrow aisles restrict turning and alignment
Safety issue: Manual positioning operation during loading will increase the risk of cargo safety  

Key technical parameters:

Parameter Value
Load capacity 4 Ton
Platform length 3200 mm
Platform width 1800 mm
Platform height 500 mm
Overall height 600 mm
Rail gauge 1435 mm (standard)
Wheel diameter φ300 mm
Power source 48V lithium battery
Operating speed 0–5 km/h (adjustable)  

Implementation results:

Efficiency improvement: The time from loading to transportation has been reduced by ten minutes each time
Space optimization: A 1.8-meter-wide cart runs smoothly in a 2.5-meter-wide aisle
Safety improvement: zero collisions or accident handling
At the same time, it also reduces labor costs
