What Are Rail Transfer Cars?

The rail transfer cars are mounted on steel railway for shuttling along a fixed path and designed for transporting heavy cargoes or equipment from one bay to another in factory. It can be used indoor or outdoor. The fields include metallurgy, foundry, new factory construction and shipbuilding and so on. They can be divided in many different types as shown below:

KPT series rail transfer cart is powered by the cable laid on the ground directly. For its simple structure, the price is more competitive. While the distance is often limited in 100 meter.

KPJ series rail transfer cart is powered by the cable from the cable reel. With the cable reel, the moving distance is improved to 200 meter compared with the KPT type.

KPX type rail transfer car is powered by the storage battery. Without the cable, this kind of transfer cart is more flexible and safe. While the capacity and the duty group are all affected by the storage battery. Especially, the price and the life span of the battery is also an important issue.

KPC type rail transfer cart is powered by the slide wire along the rail, so the moving distance is unlimited. The slide wire is the key point and also the weakest link.

KPD/PKDZ type transfer cart is powered by the low voltage DC power from the rail. Powered by the rail, the system is more reliable compared with the KPC type; the rail transfer cart system is also more complicated and expensive.

KPC type rail transfer car system is also more complicated and expensive.
