Custom Rail Battery Transfer Cart Solves Chemical Workshop Transfer Issues

Difficulties
A fine chemical company faced three major pain points in material transfer within its explosion proof workshop: manual handling of 1.2 tons solvent drums was inefficient (taking 20 minutes per trip), traditional forklifts failed to meet explosion proof zone safety requirements, and equipment was prone to malfunction in high temperature environments (42°C).

Solution
The introduction of a customized 1.5 tons battery powered transfer cart, featuring a 2200*900*500mm cast steel frame and explosion-proof housing, enabled fully automated transport from the storage area to the reactor, completely resolving these challenges.

The transfer cart utilizes innovative turntable steering wheels and a novel mounting structure, placing the electrical box in a fully enclosed iron box at the front of the transporter.
This protects the basic electrical components, increases the transport ability through narrow aisles (1.5 meters wide) to 100%, and provides operational stability of ±1mm, making it suitable for a variety of harsh production scenarios.

A wireless remote control system (effective range: 20 meters) equipped with audible and visual warning lights allows operators to complete loading and unloading from a safe area. The battery + portable charger combination provides 8 hours of battery life, and the battery display monitors the remaining power in real time to prevent unexpected power outages.

Application
This cart improves solvent barrel transfer efficiency by 200%, increasing single-shift transfers from 15 to 45 trips, and reducing failure rates in high temperature environments by 96%.
Its customized platform, lower body, and turntable steering wheels provide more stable operation. It is compatible with 500-800mm round barrels and 600x400mm turnover boxes.
Dual protection features, including audible and visual warning lights and an emergency stop button, enable unmanned operation in paint production lines.
