Overview

EK Tech jackscrew equipped motorized transfer cart

EK Tech builds motorized rail carts and steerable transfer carts that move heavy and oversized loads up to 40,000 lb without a forklift or an overhead crane. Deck size, guidance, lift and controls are engineered around your load, so every cart is quoted to your plant.

EK Tech transfer carts move the loads that normally need a forklift or an overhead crane. Electro Kinetic Technologies builds motorized rail carts and steerable trackless transfer carts that carry heavy and oversized material up to 40,000 lb across a plant floor under full operator control, with the standard capacity range running from 5,000 to 30,000 lb. Customers use them for industrial pipe, dies, metal coils, structural steel, heavy equipment, components and finished assemblies.

There are two ways to build the cart. Rail carts run on single or dual rail guidance with V-groove or flanged steel wheels, and they can be supplied as mother and daughter pairs when the load is very long. Steerable carts stay trackless on polyurethane or rubber wheels and turn tightly enough to work in crowded aisles. Deck sizes are customized to your exact requirements on both types, and a vertical lift can be added so material arrives at the height the next station needs.

Drive and steering both use AC induction motors under AC Vector Power control, which holds maximum power and torque across the whole speed range instead of falling away like a DC drive. That gives precise control down to 0.1 mph, with a variable range of 0.1 to 1.5 mph or 0.1 to 3 mph and custom ranges available by request. ReGen braking feeds energy back to the pack, swappable 48 VDC AGM or lithium iron phosphate batteries keep around the clock operations running, and the IP66 charger accepts 85 to 270 VAC single phase power under UL, cUL and CSA safety standards.

Controls are built around the operator, with an intuitive tiller on a mast or a wireless joystick, and safety options add an oscillating horn and lights during movement plus perimeter safety scanners. Thermal sensors inside the motor let the controller protect it in harsh conditions, and the battery monitor warns the operator by sight and sound before a pack runs down, with Bluetooth so a whole fleet can be checked from a phone. Every transfer cart is engineered to order, so we quote it. If your loads are lighter, look at the Pony Express AC Vector platform cart or the Pony Express 1031 platform cart.

Every line EK Tech builds to order sits on one page, our custom engineered motorized carts.

How heavy a load can an EK Tech motorized transfer cart carry?

EK Tech builds this line for loads up to 40,000 lb, with 5,000 to 30,000 lb listed as the standard range. Customers use them for industrial pipe, dies, metal coils, structural steel, heavy equipment and finished assemblies. Every cart is engineered around one job, so the factory needs your load weight, load length and floor conditions.

Do I need to install rails in my plant for a transfer cart?

Only if you want them. Rail carts run on single or dual rail guidance with V-groove or flanged steel wheels and suit a fixed route, with mother and daughter pairs for very long loads. Steerable carts are trackless, ride on polyurethane or rubber wheels and turn tightly in crowded aisles, so they need no floor work.

How slowly can the transfer cart move a heavy load?

Speed control goes down to 0.1 mph. The variable range is 0.1 to 1.5 mph or 0.1 to 3 mph depending on setup, and EK Tech builds custom ranges on request. AC Vector Power drive keeps full torque available at crawl speeds, which lets an operator inch a coil or a die into place.

Can the transfer cart lift or tilt the load as well as move it?

Yes. Hydraulic vertical lifts can be added so material arrives at the height the next station needs, and custom decks can include lift, tilt and rotate functions along with built in scales. Flat steel plate tops and tops built to secure equipment are also available.

What batteries and charger does the transfer cart use?

You choose swappable 48 volt DC AGM or lithium iron phosphate batteries, which keeps round the clock operations running. The IP66 charger accepts 85 to 270 VAC single phase power and meets UL, cUL and CSA safety standards. ReGen braking feeds energy back to the pack, and a battery monitor warns the operator by sight and sound before a pack runs down.

How is the transfer cart controlled, and what safety features does it have?

The operator drives with a tiller on a mast or a wireless joystick. Safety options include an oscillating horn and lights during movement and perimeter safety scanners, and thermal sensors in the motor let the controller protect it in harsh conditions.

What comes with an EK Tech motorized transfer cart?

The complete cart built to the configuration on your quote and tested at the factory, with AC Vector Power traction and steering drive, the battery pack and charger listed on your quote, and operator documentation for daily use and charging.
