Considerations for purchasing a transfer carts
| Research dimensions | key questions | Example answers |
| Material characteristics |
1. Weight of the material; 2. Size (length x width x height); 3. The shape of the material (roll/block/box/liquid); 4. Page requirements for material transportation (high temperature resistance/scratch resistance/explosion resistance) |
Steel coil: single weight of 30 tons, diameter of 1.5m, length of 2m, cylindrical shape, requiring surface scratch protection |
| Working environment for transfer carts |
1. Operating activity area (indoor workshop/outdoor construction site/explosion-proof workshop); 2. Operating route (with/without fixed tracks); 3. Restrictions on activity space (channel width, floor height, turning radius); 4. Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust/corrosiveness) |
for example：Indoor workshop: channel width of 4m, fixed route (production line → warehouse), high temperature (50 ℃) |
| Efficiency requirement |
1. Daily transportation frequency required (times/day); 2. Time requirement for single transfer (minutes/time); 3. Is it necessary to link with the production line/warehousing system |
for example： 50 transfers per day, with a single transfer time of ≤ 5 minutes, requiring integration with the AGV dispatch system |
| Power type | core advantages | applicable scenarios | precautions |
| Electric transfer vehicle(lithium battery/cable) | zero emissions, low noise, fast start stop, suitable for high-frequency operation | in indoor workshops (food/electronics/medicine), fixed routes (cable power supply), and clean environment | Lithium battery model: focus on endurance (meet daily operation needs); Cable type: only fixed track, not allowed to change route at will |
| Hydraulic transfer vehicle | Strong load-bearing capacity (5-100 tons), stable lifting, suitable for heavy loads | Heavy duty workshop (machine tool/mold transfer), scene requiring lifting and connecting (production lines at different heights) | Slow operating speed (usually ≤ 3km/h), regular inspection of hydraulic oil leakage is required to avoid contamination |
| Manual transfer vehicle | Low cost, simple structure, suitable for light loads and low frequencies | Small warehouse (single weight ≤ 500kg), temporary short distance transportation (such as replenishment in the workshop) | Relying on manual propulsion, low efficiency, not suitable for heavy loads or high-frequency operations |
