Heavy Load Transfer Cart for Pressure Vessel

In industries such as chemical engineering and energy, the transportation of large pressure vessels—including reactors and pipelines—remains a persistent challenge. Such equipment typically weighs between ten and twenty tons. Heavy load transfer cart is specifically engineered for transporting large tanks and pipelines, with its structure, power system, and controls fully optimized to meet the demands of pressure vessel transportation. It provides enterprises with a reliable solution for tackling heavy equipment handling challenges.

Technical Parameters of Transfer Cart

1. Dimensions and Load Capacity

Transfer cart’s platform measures 10 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width, easily accommodating extra-long pipelines or large-diameter tanks. With a platform height of just 95 centimeters, it reduces the loading/unloading height for pressure vessels, minimizing the difficulty and risks associated with crane operations. Additionally, motorized transfer cart boasts a rated load capacity of up to 25 tons, fully covering the weight requirements of most industrial-grade pressure vessels and eliminating transfer hazards caused by insufficient load-bearing capacity.

2. Endurance and Charging

The device incorporates multiple high-capacity lead-acid batteries, enabling approximately 2 hours of continuous operation under full load. This supports multiple short-distance transfers within workshops. Charging time is controlled within 6-8 hours, allowing enterprises to complete recharging during nighttime or lunch breaks without disrupting daytime production rhythms, ensuring operational continuity.

3 Advantages of Heavy Duty Transfer Cart

1. Structural Safety

The chassis employs a welded steel plate box-beam structure. This design evenly distributes the weight of pressure vessels across the entire frame, preventing deformation from localized stress concentration. It maintains structural integrity even under sustained loads of 25 tons.

Wheel configuration features large-diameter steel-core polyurethane-coated wheels. Polyurethane provides superior traction, preventing slippage on workshop concrete floors and ensuring pressure vessels remain centered during transport. Additionally, its excellent wear resistance minimizes cracking over time, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.

2. Power Performance

Electric transfer cart is equipped with an 11-kilowatt motor paired with a large axle differential gear set, forming a high-torque transmission system. This combination effortlessly propels a fully loaded 25-ton pressure vessel, delivering high transmission efficiency with minimal power loss. It maintains smooth operation even on workshop floors with slight inclines.

The steering system utilizes a hydraulic motor-driven axle, offering greater flexibility compared to traditional mechanical steering. Operators can effortlessly control turns, enabling precise directional adjustments even in densely packed workshops to avoid collisions with surrounding equipment, making it suitable for complex operational environments.

3. User-Friendly Operation

Heavy load electric transfer cart supports manual remote control with an effective range of approximately 30 meters. Operators can perform forward/reverse movements and left/right turns from a safe distance without accompanying transfer cart, reducing personnel injury risks. The remote control features intuitive operation logic, allowing new operators to master it after brief training.

For unexpected situations, battery powered transfer cart includes a backup wired control handle. If remote signal interference or failure occurs, the wired handle can be directly connected transfer cart for pressure vessel, quickly restoring control and preventing production interruptions due to equipment downtime. Additionally, the travel speed is limited to 20 meters per minute. This low-speed operation further enhances stability during pressure vessel transport, preventing swaying of heavy loads.

Safety Protection Electric Platform Cart for Pressure Vessel

1. Braking and Electrical Protection

Heavy duty transfer trolley features automatic braking upon power loss. In the event of a sudden power failure, the wheels immediately lock to prevent transport cart from coasting under load, eliminating the risk of runaway from the source. Additionally, the electrical system incorporates triple protection against undervoltage, overcurrent, and overvoltage: it automatically alerts for charging during undervoltage, and cuts off the circuit during overcurrent or overvoltage to protect the battery and motor from damage, extending the equipment’s service life.

2. Photoelectric Detection

Photoelectric sensors installed at both front and rear trigger automatic stopping within 0.5 seconds upon detecting obstacles (e.g., workshop pillars, other equipment) or pedestrians during transport, preventing collisions and providing dual safety assurance for both personnel and equipment.

Transfer Cart Application Scenarios

1. Chemical Industry: Large Reactor Transport

In chemical production workshops, transfer trolley facilitates intra-workshop relocation of large reactors and production line docking operations. Its 10-meter-long platform accommodates reactors of varying lengths, while hydraulic steering enables agile maneuvering in densely packed reactor areas, resolving the limitations of traditional equipment that “can’t turn or move.”

2. Energy Industry: Prefabricated Pipeline Handling

Energy projects often require multiple personnel to transport extra-long pipelines, resulting in low efficiency. Self propelled trolley can carry multiple short pipe sections or a single long pipe at once. Its low-speed, stable operation prevents pipe collisions, significantly reducing labor requirements and improving the efficiency of pipeline prefabrication and installation coordination.

3. Pressure Vessel Production Workshops

During pressure vessel manufacturing—from tank welding to coating and inspection—self propelled trolley enables seamless transfer of semi-finished products between processes. Its stable structure and safety features prevent damage during transit, safeguarding product quality.
