Overview

Side view of an EK Tech custom motorized long deck cart

EK Tech motorized long deck carts move bar stock, piping, extrusions, angles and panels up to 5,000 lb, with higher capacities on dual drive systems. Decks have typically run 12 to 18 feet and every cart is built to order around the material you move.

Long material is awkward material. Bar stock, piping, extrusions, angles and panels are too long for a normal cart, too wide for a comfortable forklift run and too valuable to swing overhead on a crane. EK Tech motorized long deck carts solve that by putting the whole length on one powered deck and letting a single operator walk it to the next station. Capacities run up to 5,000 lb, and higher payloads are available with dual drive systems.

The reason these carts work in a tight plant is that they pivot around the center of the cart rather than swinging the whole length around a corner. That is the extra maneuverability long loads need to get through a doorway or down a packed aisle. Deck lengths have typically been 12 to 18 feet on the builds EK Tech has delivered, and the factory asks the obvious question back, which is how long do you actually need to go.

Hand controls are placed where the work happens. You choose the left side, the right side, the front, the back, or dual controls, and because the handlebar usually sits off to one side the load can overhang both ends of the deck. Controls at both ends are worth asking for when there is nowhere to turn around, since the operator simply walks to the other end and drives back. Frames are welded, and stainless steel frames are available along with finishes for harsh environments and colors matched to your plant.

The deck itself is built around what rides on it. Choose plate steel, wood or diamond steel, have it pre drilled to your dimensions, and add removable posts or rails to hold material on top, custom cradles to support large diameter loads, shelving units, or powered and non powered conveyors mounted on the deck. Every long deck cart is a custom unit based on standard designs, which keeps the cost sensible, and it is quoted to your build. For shorter loads see the Pony Express 1031 platform cart, and for much heavier ones see the Pony Express AC Vector cart.

How heavy a load will an EK Tech long deck cart carry?

Up to 5,000 lb as standard, and more with dual drive systems. Because the deck is built for your material, the factory confirms the rating once it knows the weight, the length of the piece and how the load sits along the deck.

How long can the deck be on a motorized long deck cart?

Typical builds have run 12 to 18 ft. EK Tech treats deck size as a custom setting on a standard design, so longer decks are quoted on request. The practical limit is usually your aisles and doorways rather than the cart.

How does a long deck cart get around corners?

It pivots around the center of the cart, so the ends swing around the turn instead of the whole length being dragged through it. That gives long loads the extra maneuverability they need to clear a doorway or a packed aisle.

Can I keep long material from rolling or sliding off the deck?

Yes. Removable posts or rails hold material on top of the platform, custom cradles support large diameter loads, and shelving units can be built in. Powered or non powered conveyors can also be mounted on the deck when material has to move off the end.

Where do the controls go on a long deck cart?

You choose the left side, the right side, the front, the back, or dual controls. With the handlebar off to one side the load can overhang both ends. Controls at both ends help when there is nowhere to turn around, since the operator walks to the other end and drives back.

What deck tops and frames are available on the long deck cart?

The top can be plate steel, wood or diamond steel, pre drilled to your dimensions. Frames are welded, with stainless steel available, and EK Tech offers finishes for harsh environments and custom colors matched to your plant.

What comes with an EK Tech long deck cart?

The complete cart built to the deck size and capacity on your quote, a powered drive with the hand control where you chose it, the deck top, posts, rails, cradles or conveyors you specified, and the battery, charger and operator documentation listed on your quote.
