Recently, many customers have reached out to Nancy for help in choosing the right electric flat cart Nancy has summarized some key points to assist everyone.
First, we must clarify the role of the battery-powered transfer cart. It is a tool for transporting heavy materials and equipment within the factory. It is a modern factory transportation tool and offers customization, making it suitable for various industries. So, how do we choose the right cart for our factory? Please refer to the following article.
When users approach Nancy, they are typically facing factory transportation issues or need to optimize their workshop layout. There are several key factors you need to share with Nancy:
Load Capacity: This is the primary consideration. Choose the rated load capacity based on the maximum weight of the goods you transport daily. This helps avoid safety hazards and equipment loss caused by overloading.
Table Size: Select an appropriate table size based on the size of the goods and the available transportation space. This ensures that the goods are securely placed and the cart is easy to operate.
Range: Choose a transfer cart with an appropriate range based on the working environment and the total transportation distance. This will help prevent frequent charging, which can affect work efficiency.
Driving Speed: Select a suitable driving speed based on the working environment and safety requirements, usually ranging from 5 to 30 meters per minute.
Driving Environment: Depending on your factory’s transportation route layout, decide whether you need a track-type electric flat cart or a trackless transfer cart.
Climbing Ability: If there is a slope in the working environment, you will need a battery-powered transfer cart with climbing ability. Be sure to fully communicate with Nancy about the slope’s length and height, as this affects the ground clearance of the cart.
Note: Trackless carts with heavy load material are only suitable for slopes of no more than 7 degrees.
Battery Type:
Lead-acid batteries are cheap but offer a shorter range and lifespan, generally lasting 3-5 years.
Lithium batteries have a longer range, longer lifespan, and are lightweight, but they are significantly more expensive. Choose the right battery type based on your budget and usage frequency.
Drive Mode:
Single-drive battery-powered transfer carts have a simple structure and are cost-effective but have weaker climbing ability and lower load capacity.
Dual-drive trackless carts provide stronger power and better climbing ability, but they come at a higher price.
Control System:
Traditional handle control is simple to operate but lacks flexibility.
Remote control is more convenient and flexible, allowing users to make configurations based on their needs.
Additional Functions: Some heavy-duty transfer trolleys come equipped with hydraulic lifting and tipping devices, as well as explosion-proof and high-temperature-resistant features. These can be selected based on your specific needs.
Brand Reputation: There are many transfer cart manufacturers on the market now. Don’t just focus on price—choose manufacturers with a good reputation in the market. Product quality and after-sales service are more important in ensuring long-term satisfaction.
Production Process: Pay attention to the production process and material quality of the trackless cart to ensure a stable and durable product structure.
After-Sales Service: A comprehensive after-sales service system will help resolve equipment failures in a timely manner, ensuring smooth production.
Working Environment: If the working environment is dusty, humid, corrosive, etc., choose a cart with a higher protection level. For example, an explosion-proof electric transfer cart would be suitable for hazardous environments.
Budget: Choose the most cost-effective product based on your budget. Avoid blindly pursuing high-end configurations, which could result in unnecessary expenses.
Multi-Party Comparison: Shop around and compare parameters, prices, and after-sales services from different brands and models.
On-Site Inspection: If possible, inspect the manufacturer’s site to understand their production process and product quality firsthand.
