Coil Transfer Cart for Steel Coil Handling

The Coil Transfer Cart is a heavy-duty mobile handling vehicle specially designed for the metallurgical and steel industries. Powered by a battery system, it is suitable for daily transportation distances of 4–6 km and can handle steel coils ranging from 5 to 150 tons.

It provides safe and stable transportation for various types of steel coils, including hot-rolled coils, cold-rolled coils, pickled coils, and finished products. The cart can efficiently move materials between warehouses, production workshops, and other working areas, making it an ideal solution for flexible and high-frequency material handling in modern steel plants.

1. No Deformation Under Heavy Coil Loads

The cart features a robust all-welded frame structure made from thickened national-standard box-section beams, offering significantly higher strength compared with conventional thin-plate flat carts.

This heavy-duty design ensures even load distribution and prevents structural deformation, cracking, or fatigue damage during long-term operation under high loads.

The deck is equipped with an integrated reinforced V-shaped cradle, precisely matching the curvature of steel coils. This design provides stable support for coils with different diameters and center-of-gravity positions, effectively preventing sliding, shifting, or rolling during transportation.

As a result, it helps protect finished coil products, improve transportation safety, and reduce material damage and production losses.

2. Smooth Start and Stop

The Coil Transfer Cart is equipped with an industrial-grade ABB variable frequency drive (VFD) system, allowing smooth acceleration, deceleration, and stopping.

Compared with traditional transport methods that may cause sudden impacts, the VFD control system effectively reduces mechanical shock and inertial movement, preventing coil displacement and minimizing the risk of damage during transportation.

3. Fully Customizable Design

PEISA provides customized coil transfer cart solutions according to specific customer requirements, including load capacity, track gauge, coil outer diameter, workshop layout, transportation distance, and operating frequency.

The vehicle dimensions, V-shaped cradle design, running speed, control method, and automation functions can all be customized.

Optional configurations include:

• PLC automatic positioning system;

• Automatic start and stop control;

• Fixed-point positioning;

• Remote monitoring system.

These solutions make the cart suitable for both newly built steel plants and modernization projects involving existing production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the maximum load capacity of this cart? Can it be customized for heavier coils?

A: Standard models are designed for steel coil transportation from 10 to 150 tons. For special applications, we can customize heavy-duty models with capacities up to 200 tons to meet the requirements of large and medium-sized steel plants.

Q2: Can the equipment work in workshops with limited space or existing rail systems?

A: Yes. The cart can be customized according to different site conditions, including standard or non-standard track gauges, narrow workshop spaces, aging rail systems, and short-distance transportation requirements.

By adjusting the wheel design, vehicle dimensions, and control system, the transfer cart can be integrated into existing facilities while reducing the need for major site modifications.

Q3: Is it reliable for continuous high-frequency operation? Are maintenance costs high?

A: The Coil Transfer Cart is designed with industrial-grade components and can support continuous operation in demanding factory environments.

The strong structural design and reliable electrical system ensure stable performance with low failure rates. Compared with forklifts and overhead cranes, it can significantly reduce daily handling costs and maintenance requirements, making it suitable for heavy-duty steel plant operations.

Q4: What guarantees do you provide as a direct manufacturer? How are shipping and after-sales services handled?

A: PEISA is a direct manufacturer of electric transfer carts providing complete solutions without intermediaries.

Before shipment, every cart undergoes comprehensive inspection and operational testing. Customers are welcome to visit our factory or conduct remote equipment inspections.

We provide:

• Factory testing before shipment;
