Main Components

The electric transfer cart is powered by batteries, typically DC batteries, including:

Lead-acid Battery – Cost-effective but requires regular maintenance, suitable for heavy-duty environments.

Lithium-ion Battery – Longer lifespan, fast charging, and maintenance-free.

Control System

The core of the transfer trolley, it controls the motor's operation based on operator or automation commands, adjusting speed and direction by regulating current and voltage for precise movement.

Motor Types

DC Motor – Excellent speed control, quick response, ideal for frequent starts/stops.

AC Motor – Energy-efficient, better for long-distance, heavy-load transport.

Power Transmission

The motor drives the wheels/tracks via a gearbox, ensuring stable and efficient heavy-load transportation.

Operation & Control

The Rail Transfer Cart system adjusts motor speed/direction via control signals.

Enables smooth acceleration, deceleration, and reversing for reliable operation.
