Transfer Cart
At Dongqi Crane, we understand that efficient and reliable intra-facility transportation is the backbone of a productive operation. Our comprehensive range of Transfer Carts (also known as Rail Carts or Motorized Flat Cars) is engineered to move heavy loads with precision, safety, and utmost efficiency, directly addressing the challenges faced in industries like steel, manufacturing, foundries, and logistics.
What is a Transfer Cart?
A Transfer Cart is a motorized or electric vehicle that runs on rails, designed to transport heavy materials across workshops, between production stages, or through different facilities. They are the ideal solution for moving items like raw materials, castings, fabricated structures (like H-beams), machinery components, and finished products where overhead cranes are not suitable or available.
Dongqi Transfer Cart Series: Tailored for Every Application
We offer a diverse portfolio of transfer carts to meet specific operational requirements, ensuring there is a perfect Dongqi solution for your unique challenge.
1. KPJ Series – Cable Reel Electric Transfer Cart
- Power Supply: Electricity delivered via a flexible cable and automatic reel system.
- Ideal For: Medium to short distances within workshops with reliable access to power.
- Advantages: Simple structure, easy maintenance, and consistent power without runtime limits. Dongqi enhances this classic design with robust cable management systems for extended cable life.

2. KPD Series – Low Voltage / Conductor Rail Transfer Cart
- Power Supply: Safe, low-voltage power (36V/48V) supplied through insulated conductor rails embedded in the ground.
- Ideal For: Environments where trailing cables are undesirable or for longer, straight runs.
- Advantages: Enhanced safety with low-voltage operation, unlimited running distance (within rail length), and no cables to manage or replace. Dongqi’s systems ensure superior contact and reliability.

3. KPX Series – Battery-Powered Transfer Cart
- Power Supply: On-board battery packs, offering complete freedom of movement.
- Ideal For: Long-distance transportation, outdoor yards, facilities with limited infrastructure, or complex track layouts (including curves and switches).
- Advantages: Maximum flexibility and independence. Dongqi KPX carts feature high-capacity, maintenance-free batteries, intelligent charging systems, and smooth DC drive for precise control, making them perfect for dynamic work environments.

4. Specialized Transfer Carts for Demanding Applications
Beyond our standard series, Dongqi excels in creating custom-engineered solutions:
- Ladle Transfer Carts: Built with heat-resistant materials, dual-motor drives for redundancy, and ultra-slow variable frequency control to safely transport molten metal with minimal inertia and spill risk.
- Turntable Transfer Carts: Enable carts to change direction by 90° or 180°, solving the challenge of moving loads between intersecting rail lines and maximizing layout efficiency.
- Hydraulic Lifting/Lowering Carts: Equipped with integrated hydraulic systems to lift, lower, or tilt loads for precise positioning, eliminating the need for additional lifting equipment.
- “U-Type” Frame & Custom Deck Carts: Designed with specialized decks to securely transport unique loads like cylindrical objects or long beams, preventing shifting and ensuring safety.
