Rail Transfer Cart

Rail Transfer Cart offers advanced technological solutions for the safe, fast, and precise transport of heavy and geometrically complex loads within industrial facilities. Designed with high load-bearing capacity, it enhances operational efficiency by enabling smooth horizontal and vertical movement between production lines in the most reliable way. Ideal for applications requiring continuous and uninterrupted material flow, the Rail Transfer Cart ensures safe and stable transport along fixed rail tracks, making it an essential solution for demanding industrial production environments.

Mods and Security

  • With rails: Provides linear movement back and forth on rails. With its high stability and precise positioning capability, it is the ideal solution especially for fixed lines and repetitive transports.
  • Standard Manoeuvring: Simple, cost-effective; used in large areas, with large turning radius (vertical, front axle, on rear wheel, rear axle turning)
  • Versatile Manoeuvring: Highest manoeuvrability; all wheels rotate independently, suitable for narrow spaces and precise loading/unloading (vertical, lateral, diagonal, crab movement, rotation on its own axis)
  • ±90° Movement: Intermediate solution; front axle rotates ±90°, providing a small turning radius. Commonly used on Fada’s battery powered transfer trolleys, ideal for compact and budget-friendly applications.

Power Supply and Motor Types

The main factors affecting the performance of transfer cars are the energy source used and the type of engine. Basically, three different energy sources are used:

  • Battery (Lithium/Gel Battery, Wireless/Contactless Energy Transfer)
  • Diesel Fuel
  • Hybrid (combined systems)

Motor types and energy supply options:

  • Electric motors
  • Hydraulic motors
  • AC motors
  • PMAC motors
  • Motorised or spring cable drum / cable chain

These combinations allow the transfer trolleys to provide maximum performance and flexibility in different applications.

Control Options

Operator Controlled

  • Wired remote control
  • Remote control
  • Vehicle driver (in cab)

Versatile control options are determined by operating environment, route length, speed and shift times

Autonomous Control – Natural Navigation

Self-steering without operator intervention, calculating the most efficient route and speed profiles.

Autonomous Control – Magnetic Lane Tracking

Provides precise and safe movement along a predetermined path. Works integrated with magnetic sensors and magnetic strips on the road.
