Electric Flatbed Cart

Бүтээгдэхүүний тодорхойлолт

Electric flatbed carts, also known as electric rail-mounted transport vehicles or trackless transport vehicles, move heavy materials efficiently and stably in factories, workshops, and warehouses. These electrically driven material handling systems support smooth and reliable transport operations in industrial environments.

Their main structure includes a frame, drive system, battery pack, motor, control system, and wheel set. Electric flatbed carts can run on pre-set tracks or move freely on the ground using rubber tires, combining path standardization with operational flexibility.

Main Types Of Electric Flatbed Carts

1. KPD low-voltage rail-powered electric flatbed cart

Working Principle: Powered by conducting a safe 36V/48V voltage through an insulated track.
Features and Advantages: High safety, no exposed wiring, aesthetically pleasing and neat.
Applicable Scenarios: Short to medium distance, high-frequency transportation (≤100 meters), such as workshop process transfers and mold handling.

2. KPJ cable reel powered electric flatcar

Working Principle: Power is supplied through automatic cable reel winding and unwinding.
Features and Advantages: Simple structure, low cost, adaptable to straight or gently curved tracks.
Precautions: Cables need to be replaced periodically; suitable for short to medium distance transportation.
Applicable Scenarios: Material handling in warehousing and logistics, shipyards, open-air storage yards, etc.

3. KPX battery-powered electric flatbed cart

Working Principle: Powered by the vehicle's onboard battery, no external power source required.
Features and Advantages: Flexible, trackless, freely movable, and suitable for emergency use.
Technical Considerations: Requires a charging system; performance is limited at low temperatures.
Applicable Scenarios: Outdoor construction, temporary transport, and complex trackless terrain.

4. KPC sliding contact line powered electric flatcar

Working Principle: Powered by overhead or side-mounted conductor rails.
Features and Advantages: Suitable for long distances (>500 meters), stable power supply, and high load-bearing capacity.
Installation Requirements: Requires precise installation of conductor rail brackets; initial investment is relatively high.
Applicable Scenarios: Heavy-duty long-distance transportation in industries such as steel, automobiles, and ports.

5. Trackless electric flatbed cart (intelligent AGV type)

Working Principle: Utilizes magnetic guidance, laser, or visual navigation, eliminating the need for physical tracks.
Features and Advantages: Flexible and adjustable paths, intelligent scheduling, and space-saving design.
Development Trends: Integrating 5G technology to support multi-vehicle collaboration and high-precision operations.
Applicable Scenarios: Automated scenarios such as smart factories, cleanrooms, and medical logistics.

6. KPT cable-powered electric flatbed cart (economy model)

Working Principle: Power is supplied directly by dragging or suspending the cable.
Features and Advantages: Low cost, quick deployment, and strong adaptability.
Usage Limitations: The cable is easily damaged, the distance is short (≤50 meters), and it is not suitable for heavy-load, high-frequency scenarios.
Applicable Scenarios: Light-load temporary operations in small workshops, warehouses, maintenance sites, etc.

Electric Flat Car Selection Guide

Choosing the right type of electric flat car requires a comprehensive consideration of the following factors:

Consideration Factor	Key Questions	Type Recommendations
Transport Distance	How far is the single transport distance?	Short distance (<50m): Cable-drag type / Low-voltage rail type Medium to long distance (50-200m): Cable reel type Long distance (>200m): Sliding line type
Frequency of Use	How many hours of operation per day?	High frequency (>8 hours/day): Low-voltage rail / Sliding line type Low frequency: Battery / Cable-drag type
Load Requirement	What is the maximum load capacity?	Light load (<10 tons): Most types suitable Heavy load (>50 tons): Sliding line / Low-voltage rail type
Site Conditions	Indoor or outdoor? What is the ground condition?	Indoor flat ground: All rail-based types Outdoor complex ground: Battery / Rail-less type
Automation Needs	Is unmanned operation required?	Manual operation: Traditional types Automation needs: Rail-less intelligent AGV type
Budget Constraints	What is the investment budget?	Economy type: Cable-drag / Cable reel type Investment type: Low-voltage rail / Sliding line type Technology type: Rail-less intelligent AGV

Note: The recommended types are indicative; specific selections should be based on comprehensive evaluation of actual working conditions and technical parameters.
