Overview

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

The Pony Express 1040-ME is the medium-deck motorized platform cart from Electro Kinetic Technologies, carrying up to 1,000 lb on a 49 in by 25.5 in deck so one worker can move heavy loads with light fingertip control. It is self-propelled, made in America, and backed by a 2 year frame and motor warranty.

The Pony Express 1040-ME is the medium-deck member of the Electro Kinetic Technologies motorized platform cart family, built to move loads up to 1,000 pounds without manual pushing or pulling. Its 49 inch long by 25.5 inch wide deck sits at a 15 inch height, giving operators more usable surface than the standard 1040-E while keeping the same drivetrain, controls, and 1,000 pound rating. The cart is self-propelled, so a single worker can transport heavy or awkward loads across a facility with light fingertip effort.

Power comes from a maintenance free permanent magnet motor driving a front wheel transaxle, fed by a 44 Ah AGM battery that supports roughly 8 hours of operation per charge. The internal charger plugs into standard 120/240 VAC and brings the pack back to full in about 4 hours. Two speed ranges, from a crawling 1.5 mph up to 3.0 mph, let the operator match pace to the environment, and electromagnetic regenerative braking with an automatic holding brake keeps the cart secure on grades up to 15 degrees.

Like the rest of the Pony Express line, the 1040-ME is proudly made in America with a welded steel frame, a non-skid deck, and full wrap-around bumpers. It suits manufacturing, healthcare, retail, pharmaceutical, and warehouse operations that need to cut the injury risk and labor cost of pushing loaded carts by hand. The frame and motor are backed by a 2 year warranty.

How is the 1040-ME different from the standard 1040-E?

The 1040-ME uses the same 1,000 lb drivetrain and controls as the 1040-E but carries a longer 49 by 25.5 in deck instead of the standard 32 by 24 in deck. It is the medium length option between the 1040-E and the long 1040-LE.

How much can the 1040-ME carry and how steep an incline can it climb?

It is rated for loads up to 1,000 lb and climbs inclines up to 15 degrees at full load. Electromagnetic regenerative braking and an automatic holding brake keep it from rolling when stopped on a grade.

How long does the 1040-ME battery last and how long does it take to charge?

The 44 Ah AGM battery supports about 8 hours of operation per charge. The built in charger plugs into a standard 120 or 240 VAC outlet and brings the battery back to full in about 4 hours.

How fast does the 1040-ME travel?

There are two speed settings. Low runs from 0 to 1.5 mph for tight or crowded spaces, and high runs from 0 to 3 mph for open floor.

How high is the 1040-ME deck?

The 49 by 25.5 in deck sits 15 in off the floor. It has a non-skid surface and full wrap around bumpers on a welded steel frame.

Is the 1040-ME made in the USA?

Yes. The Pony Express 1040-ME is made in America by Electro Kinetic Technologies.
