Overview

Operator control panel close-up on Pony Express motorized cylinder cart

The Pony Express 1031-M is an electric motorized platform cart that moves loads up to 1,500 lbs on a 49 in by 25.5 in non-skid steel deck. Its center wheel drive gives a tight turning radius for crowded warehouse aisles, hospital corridors, and busy loading docks.

The Electro Kinetic Technologies Pony Express 1031-M is an electric motorized platform cart built to move loads up to 1,500 lbs across warehouses, hospitals, and production floors without manual pushing. It carries cargo on a 49 in by 25.5 in non-skid steel deck set 11.5 in off the ground, and its center wheel drive gives it a tighter turning radius than a front wheel drive cart for tight aisles and crowded docks. The frame is heavy duty powder coated white steel with curved corners and full wrap around vinyl bumpers that protect both the cart and its surroundings.

Power comes from two 12V maintenance-free AGM deep-cycle batteries paired with an onboard UL and cUL listed 120/240 VAC smart charger and an LED battery level gauge. A permanent magnet DC motor drives the cart from 0 to 3 mph in high mode and 0 to 1.5 mph in low mode through an ergonomic variable speed forward and reverse control. Foam-filled never-flat drive tires, solid state regenerative braking, and an automatic holding brake keep the cart stable and in position on the 6 degree inclines it is rated to handle.

The 1031-M is the medium length member of the Pony Express 1031 family, sized between the short deck and the long deck while keeping the same 25.5 in width. It is proudly made in the USA and backed by a 2-year limited warranty on the frame and motor, making it a durable powered alternative to hand-pushed platform trucks for repetitive heavy load transport.

How much weight can the Pony Express 1031-M carry?

The 1031-M is rated for loads up to 1,500 lb on a 49 in by 25.5 in non-skid steel deck set 11.5 in off the floor. It is the medium length 1031, sized between the short and long decks with the same 25.5 in width.

How fast does the 1031-M travel and is the speed adjustable?

Yes, speed is variable in two modes. High runs from 0 to 3 mph and low from 0 to 1.5 mph, both in forward and reverse, so you can move quickly across open floor and slow down for tight spots.

What battery does the 1031-M use and how long does a charge last?

Two maintenance-free 12 volt 35 Ah AGM deep cycle batteries give about 8 hours of operation. The onboard UL and cUL listed 120 or 240 VAC charger recharges them in about 4 hours, and an LED gauge shows the battery level.

Why does center wheel drive help in tight spaces?

Center wheel drive puts the drive wheel near the middle of the cart, which gives a tighter turning radius than a front wheel drive cart. That makes the 1031-M easier to steer in warehouse aisles, hospital corridors and loading docks.

Can the 1031-M go up a ramp?

Yes. The 1031-M is rated for inclines of 6 degrees. Solid state regenerative braking and an automatic holding brake keep it stable and in position on a slope, and foam-filled never-flat drive tires hold traction.

How big is the 1031-M overall?

It measures 60 in long, 27.5 in wide and 41.5 in high including the handle. Check doors and elevators on your route against the 27.5 in width and 60 in length.

Is the Pony Express 1031-M made in the USA?

Yes. The 1031-M is made in the USA by Electro Kinetic Technologies, with a powder coated white steel frame, curved corners and full wrap around vinyl bumpers.

Is there a 2,000 lb version of the 1031-M?

Yes. EK Tech builds the 1031-M2000 on the same 49 in by 25.5 in deck, rated for 2,000 lb. The 1031-M on this page is rated for 1,500 lb. Ask us if you need the higher rating and we will quote the M2000.
