Battery Powered Carts for the Manufacturing Industry

Powered Platform Carts, Trailer Movers, Cart Pullers, Electric Tugs

In most manufacturing or distribution environments, the material handling process can be solved by the palletizing of products, parts, or equipment, and then using forked equipment to distribute the palleted product throughout the facility.  In manufacturing plants, problems can be solved with wheeled loads by using carts or wheeled equipment for the transportation of products.

Two common reasons for using wheeled loads and carts are:

  • It's easier and faster to manipulate a load on a rolling rack or cart for better part access or when swapping it with a full rack.
  • Many finished products or input materials are not suitable for palletizing. These products are either oddly shaped or too fragile to allow stacking. Examples of manufacturers with many types of carts and rolling loads are window, door, and lumber manufacturers, or automotive assemblers and manufacturers.
