The Pony Express 1031 Motorized Platform Cart is built for heavy-duty jobs, offering load capacities of up to 2,000 lbs. Its center wheel drive system gives it a tighter turning radius, making it easier to maneuver in crowded spaces compared to traditional front wheel drive carts.
Key Features
Eight deck sizes from 25.5 by 40 inches to 34.5 by 52 inches, rated 1,500 or 2,000 lb
Center wheel drive turns tighter than a front wheel drive cart in crowded aisles
Deck sits 11.5 inches off the floor, the lowest in the Pony Express platform range
Recharges in about 4 hours from the onboard UL listed smart charger
Non skid deck with curved corners and wrap around vinyl bumpers
Keyed power switch, horn, emergency stop and battery charge indicator on the thumb wheel handle
Regenerative braking with an automatic holding brake for secure stops on an incline
Designed and built in the USA with a 2 year frame and motor warranty
Power and Performance
Equipped with deep cycle AGM batteries and an onboard smart charger, the cart delivers reliable performance for long shifts. Foam-filled tires ensure smooth, worry-free operation without the risk of flats.
Safety and Control
The ergonomic handle with thumb-wheel control lets operators easily adjust speed in forward or reverse. Regenerative braking and a holding brake add extra safety by keeping the cart secure on inclines. Additional features like the keyed switch, horn, and emergency stop enhance operator confidence.
Built to Last
Made with a powder-coated welded steel frame and full wrap-around bumpers, this cart is tough enough for industrial use while protecting both the equipment and surroundings.
Warranty
The Pony Express 1031 Motorized Platform Cart includes a 2-year warranty on the frame and motor, ensuring durability and peace of mind for your investment.
Need to move medical gas cylinders instead?
If your daily routes include rotating M, C, D, or E oxygen cylinders rather than a flat platform load, the motorized medical gas cylinder cart uses the same Pony Express drivetrain on a dedicated, plasticized cylinder rack — same 2,000 lb capacity, same 0–3 mph two-speed control, but built for hospital and lab cylinder rotation rather than general supplies.
Rated to move 2,000 lb, the 1031 sits at the heavier end of the Pony Express load-moving carts built for warehouse and back-of-house work where pushing a loaded cart by hand stops making sense. If your loads run lighter, or you need a unit that protects polished floors in patient corridors and clean areas, compare it against our no-scuff motorized utility carts (1,500 to 5,000 lb) to find the capacity and footprint that fit your aisles.

How long does the warranty on Pony Express 1031 Motorized Platform Carts? What’s included/excluded from the warranty?
The Pony Express 1031 Motorized Platform Carts comes with a 2-year warranty on the frame and motor. It doesn't cover service/transportation costs, normal wear items, damage from misuse, unauthorized work or modifications, and outdoor use. Shipping damage and incidental damages are also not covered. Warranty only valid for original buyer with a sales receipt. Any warranty changes need approval from Electro Kinetic Technologies, LLC.
What sizes and capacities does the Pony Express 1031 series come in?
The 1031 series comes in eight models, the 1031-S, S2000, M, M2000, L, L2000, XL and HD. Decks run from 25.5 by 40 in up to 34.5 by 52 in, with lengths of 40, 49, 52 and 61 in. Each model is rated for either 1,500 or 2,000 lb.
How much weight can a Pony Express 1031 cart carry?
The 1031 carts are rated for 1,500 or 2,000 lb depending on the model. Size the cart to your heaviest loaded run, not the average one, since floor condition and slope add to the work the drive has to do.
How long does the battery last and how long does it take to charge?
The 35 Ah AGM battery gives about 8 hours of operation per charge and recharges in about 4 hours. The charger is built in and runs on 120 or 240 VAC, so the cart plugs into a standard outlet between shifts. A charge indicator sits on the handle.
How fast does the Pony Express 1031 go?
Speed is variable from 0 to 1.5 mph on the low setting and 0 to 3 mph on the high setting. The operator sets speed in forward or reverse with a thumb wheel on the handle. Low suits doorways and crowded areas, and high suits long open runs.
Will the 1031 hold its position on a ramp?
Yes. Regenerative braking slows the cart and an automatic holding brake keeps it in place on an incline. An electromagnetic parking brake holds it when parked. A keyed power switch, horn and emergency stop are also on the handle.
How tight does the Pony Express 1031 turn?
The 1031 uses center wheel drive, which turns tighter than a front wheel drive cart in crowded aisles. Its deck sits 11.5 in off the floor, the lowest in the Pony Express platform range, which keeps loading easy.
Will the 1031 mark floors?
The drive wheel is non-marking and puncture proof. Full wrap around vinyl bumpers and curved deck corners protect walls and fixtures, and the cart runs under 65 dBA.
Can the Pony Express 1031 work in cold rooms?
The rated operating range is 0 to 40 C, which is 32 to 104 F. It can be charged from minus 23 to 60 C, about minus 9 to 140 F. Below freezing is outside the rated operating range, so check the temperature on any cold room route first.
Does a motorized platform cart operator need training?
It can. As a general rule, OSHA 1910.178 covers motorized hand trucks and other powered industrial trucks and requires that only trained and authorized operators use them. Whether it applies to your site is the employer's call, so check with your safety lead before the cart goes into service.
Is the Pony Express 1031 made in the USA?
Yes. The 1031 series is designed and built in the USA by Electro Kinetic Technologies, with a powder coated welded steel frame.

We recently purchased a power wheel chair and had a great experience from start to finish. The process was smooth, communication was clear, and everything was delivered exactly as promised. The pricing was fair, and the quality exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend and looking forward to working together again!

Great Experience!
Super helpful team in helping us make a decision. We needed a scooter that we could modify to carry our 2 Jack Russell’s at trials. This scooter worked out perfectly. Please let them help you. I’m sure there are bigger companies, but I felt we got such personal attention. It was an amazing experience. Delivery was just a few days. Remarkable!

Auto Fold
I needed a mobility scooter that was auto-folding, but not overly engineered where problems can arise, was not too heavy to lift by myself, would easily fit in the trunk of my car, and not be overly expensive. Wishful thinking I thought. Until I discovered the MOJO on my computer. This scooter ticked all my boxes, and more. It is comfortable, well built, is easy to charge the batteries without having to bend down to remove them, and even if you do want to remove them they are accessible from the standing position. the tiller is fully adjustable as are the arm rests, the folding/unfolding functions are easily initiated, and the axle release is easily achieved. A well engineered piece of kit. Now, for the customer service: I can honestly say that I have never come across anything like it; it is absolutely perfect. The gentleman I dealt with 'bent over backwards' to help me without pressuring me into a purchase, and to ensure I was buying a scooter that was right for me. Because I live in New Zealand I knew I was creating a lot more work for him, but he never complained. This and my MOJO are very much appreciated. I am very thankful for the day I first saw the MOJO on the internet. I I now own my very own MOJO.

We are so pleased with the Scoota Trailer we ordered through Heavy Duty Mobility. We dealt with Raphael who could not have be nicer and more helpful. He stayed in close contact letting me know when the manufacturer received the order, when it was complete and when it shipped. The customer service was second to none. It was obvious in all communications with Raphael that he genuinely cared that our son's needs were met with this trailer for his new powerchair. I highly recommend going through Heavy Duty Mobility when ordering equipment for yourself or your handicapped loved ones.

Heavy Duty Mobility did a fine Job.
Heavy Duty Mobility did a fine Job matching me up with the besr mobility scooter to meet my needs. The Afikim S-3 is a high quality piece of equipment. It operates as advertised. It maintains it's speed while ascending the hills in the small town, where I live. Heavy Duty Mobility was by my side throughout the entire purchase process. Even after I took delivery of the fine S-3 scooter and needed to have questions answered about the machine. Jon Fisher Cedarville, MI

I was looking for a scooter for my mother. I researched it online and found some sites that were selling the scooter for the same price. Heavy duty mobility was willing to beat the price as they had a 5% discount. They were also. Extremely kind and helpful. They answered all my questions and what they did not know. They contacted the company to find out and got back to me the same day. They kept me in the loop with shipping and also reached out to me to confirm receipt and to make sure everything was correct and working properly. Very impressed

Top shelf, customer service,
Found the type of Scooter. I wanted to buy online not everyone has the kind of scooter. I have . Talked to Raphael Perlmann about the scooter I wanted. I was a little hesitant at first because they were from Florida. After talking to Raphael I felt a much more comfortable about the idea of having a scooter shipped all across the country am in Seattle WA.
The scooter arrived,in shipping and had a torn seat. Ops Raphael took care of the problem got me a new seat ASP negotiated with the makers of my scooter.for me.
Couple months into having my scooter. I had an issue with the wheel making a noise..
Called my dealer Raphael he worked tirelessly negotiating with the maker of the Scooter to make sure the issue got fixed .
Would’ve loved not to have any issues with my new scooter, but knowing Raphael was on my side, helping me anytime there was an issue to get the problem fixed was a huge blessing.
Raphael Perlmann Has restored my faith in Customer service .
So many companies sell your product and then they don’t care they got their money !
Not that way at heavy mobility scooters store .
I have seen that this company and Raphael Perlmann cares about their customers after the sell.
I will recommend to my mother and any other family member, and friend to order a scooter from Raphael Perlmann ..:
His care and consideration for me and my Scooter has definitely restored my faith and Customer service .
The quality of customer service I receive from him is a wonderful change from the type of customer service I get from businesses I work with and give money to every month .
Other companies couldn’t learn something from this man and heavy mobility Scooter about Customer service .
Thank you
Raphael Perlmann For the caring you show your customers .
Top shelf customer service .

They are very professional, they listen to what you would like to have, and they may make suggestions, but the decisions are up to you.
The person I talked with was very professional.
He knew what products I may like, but in the end it was my choice of what to buy, or not buy.
There was no pressure, just suggestions I appreciate people who don't pressure you into buying something.
