Customized 20 Tons Hydraulic Lifting Rail Transfer Cart for Mold Transport
Difficulties in Use
In the workshop of a heavy machinery manufacturer, heavy cast steel molds often weigh up to 18-20 tons each. Traditional handling equipment, limited by rail distance, accuracy, and high temperatures, has long suffered from low transfer efficiency and large docking errors.
Solution
The introduction of a 20 tons battery powered rail transfer cart, featuring a 2500*1800*600mm box-beam frame and dual-wheel system, enables fully automated transport from the press line to the assembly area, completely resolving these challenges.
Advantages
Transfer cart equipped with hydraulic lift device adjusts the wheel system to enable transitions between different rails, allowing for vertical and horizontal movement and flexible route adjustments.
The cast steel wheels work in conjunction with shock-absorbing devices to ensure operational stability of ±2mm/m. A laser dead man stop (with a 3 meters sensing range) and an audible and visual warning light provide dual safety features.
The wireless remote control system supports precise control within a 20 meters range, a battery display monitors real-time battery life, and a portable charging station allows for on-the-go charging, ensuring product usability.
Applications
In practice, this cart has reduced mold transfer time from 40 minutes to 12 minutes. When transferring large gearbox molds, a hydraulic lift mechanism enables free wheel system rotation, increasing single-shift production capacity by 150%.
Its environmentally friendly battery powered, zero-emission design eliminates pollutants, aligning with green development principles.
Furthermore, once operational, it only requires a single operator to monitor production, significantly reducing labor costs. It has become a benchmark for heavy load mold handling in industries such as automotive manufacturing and heavy machinery, adapting to diverse production needs in harsh environments.
