Electric Transfer Cart for Steel and Heavy Industry Material Handling

Electric Transfer Cart for Steel and Heavy Industry Material Handling

An Electric Transfer Cart for Steel and Heavy Industry is engineered to handle extreme loads and harsh operating conditions commonly found in steel mills, foundries, and heavy manufacturing plants. Designed with reinforced steel structures and heavy-duty drive systems, these carts provide safe and reliable horizontal transport for oversized and high-temperature materials.

In environments where forklifts reach their limits and crane usage is costly or inefficient, electric transfer carts offer a controlled, ground-level material handling solution. They operate on rails or flat industrial floors and can be configured for manual, remote, or fully automated operation to match different production processes.

This solution plays a critical role in improving safety, reducing handling time, and maintaining stable material flow in heavy industrial facilities.

Typical Steel & Heavy Industry Applications

Electric transfer carts are widely used across steel and heavy industrial operations:

  • Steel Mills – slab, billet, and coil transfer

  • Foundries – molds, castings, and ladles

  • Metallurgical Plants – high-load in-process transport

  • Heavy Equipment Manufacturing – oversized structural components

  • Energy & Power Equipment Plants – turbines and transformers

  • High-Temperature Workshops – rugged material movement

Their robust construction ensures long service life even under continuous operation.
