KPX Battery Powered Rail Transfer Cart

The KPX series rail transfer cart is a battery-driven handling equipment with a built-in battery pack as its core power source. The battery delivers power to the DC motor via the electric control system, enabling the cart to achieve stable forward and backward movement, flexible start and stop, and stepless speed regulation. Adaptable to complex operating paths, the cart is capable of traveling along S-shaped and curved rails, and it can be applied to ferry operation scenarios as well as flammable and explosive working environments.
A hydraulic lifting device is optional for installation beneath the cart’s working platform. Equipped with a DC motor, the transfer cart boasts outstanding performance advantages including soft start, high starting torque, minimal impact on the gearbox, low operating voltage and long service life. It features unlimited traveling distance and low rail installation requirements, making it ideal for long-distance material transportation and low-frequency operation scenarios. Routine battery maintenance is required for stable operation, and the standard battery service life reaches approximately 3 years.

Four Power Supply Modes of Rail Transfer Cart


We provide four mainstream power supply modes for rail transfer carts to suit different site distances, working frequencies and environmental requirements. Each power type is mature, stable and widely applied in industrial material handling.

1. Battery Powered (KPX Series)

Adopts built-in battery pack for independent power supply. The cart operates freely with no traveling distance limit and no external cables required. It features flexible movement, easy layout and strong adaptability. It is the optimal choice for long-distance transportation, irregular running routes, and explosion-proof, flammable and explosive working environments.

2. Cable Reel Powered (KPT Series)

Equipped with an automatic cable reel to realize self-winding and unwinding during operation. This power mode provides continuous and stable voltage output with low failure rate and no charging waiting time. It is mainly applicable for short and medium-distance fixed-track transportation and high-frequency continuous operation.

3. Sliding Line Powered (KPJ Series)

Powered by sliding contact wire for real-time continuous power supply. It supports 24-hour non-stop operation without battery charging restriction. With stable power output and high working efficiency, it is widely used for factory fixed routes, high-frequency and long-time continuous handling conditions.

4. Low-Voltage Rail Powered (KPD Series)

Adopts 36V/48V safe low-voltage power supply through rails. No external cables are needed, making the site tidy and safe. This mode features excellent explosion-proof performance and strong load capacity, which is suitable for fixed-route heavy-duty transportation and standardized factory workshop handling scenarios
