10 Tons Hydraulic Lifting Mold Handling Rail Transfer Cart
Production Challenges
A major equipment manufacturing enterprise faced issues with inefficient heavy load transportation and poor docking precision for materials and components of varying dimensions during internal material handling within its factory warehousing areas, production lines, and premises.
Solution
Following the implementation of a 35 tons low voltage rail powered RGV, a fully automated transfer process from the forging line to the machining centre was achieved through a 2500×2000×1200mm box-girder chassis and customized design.
Product Specifications
The RGV employs a carbon brush + conductive pillar + ground control cabinet system for unrestricted power supply. Insulated wheels and high-temperature resistant cable assemblies maintain current within safe human contact limits, ensuring workplace safety.
The dual-wheel system enables rail switching within ≤30 seconds. The hydraulic lifting platform (adjustable range 0-800mm) combined with a V-block accommodates shaft components of varying diameters.
Wireless remote control integrated with a PLC-coded system and LED display achieves ±2mm precision alignment. Dual safety protection comprises a laser dead man stop (3 meters sensing range) and audible/visual warning lights.
Application
Operators set transfer paths via 20 meters wireless remote control. The RGV travels along rails to the workpiece storage area.
For drive shaft transfer tasks, single loading/unloading time is reduced from 28 minutes to 6 minutes, increasing single-shift transfer capacity by 220%. With a 35 tons heavy duty capacity and customized platform, it can simultaneously transport two 6-metre-long shafts, reducing labour costs by 70%. Suitable for handling oversized shaft materials in heavy machinery and wind power equipment industries, it adapts to high temperature, high-precision, and multi-variety flexible production scenarios.
