Electric Transfer Cart for Heavy-Duty Industrial Material Handling


In modern manufacturing and intralogistics environments, moving heavy materials safely and efficiently inside a facility is a critical challenge. An Electric Transfer Cart is specifically designed to handle large loads, repetitive transport tasks, and complex in-plant logistics with minimal labor involvement.
Powered by an electric drive system and operating on rails or flat shop floors, electric transfer carts provide a reliable solution for transferring steel coils, molds, pallets, machinery components, and other heavy materials between workstations, production lines, warehouses, and loading areas.
Compared with forklifts or manual carts, electric transfer carts offer higher load capacity, better stability, predictable travel paths, and improved safety, making them ideal for continuous industrial operation.
Electric Transfer Carts are widely used across multiple industries where heavy-duty, controlled material movement is required:
Steel & Metallurgy – transporting billets, coils, ladles, and heavy frames
Automotive Manufacturing – moving molds, engines, and large assemblies
Machinery & Equipment Plants – handling oversized components between processes
Energy & Power Equipment – transferring generators, transformers, and wind components
Warehouse & Logistics Centers – palletized goods and unit load transport
Shipbuilding & Heavy Fabrication – long-distance material transfer inside workshops
With customizable dimensions, power supply options, and control modes, electric transfer carts can be precisely adapted to both new facilities and existing production layouts.
