The small-tonnage electric rail transfer cart for factories is a modern logistics device specifically designed for internal material transportation within workshops.

Powered by a rechargeable battery, it runs along pre-installed factory tracks to efficiently and safely transfer materials such as parts, tooling fixtures, finished products, and semi-finished goods between production areas and storage zones.

Compared with traditional manual carts or forklifts, this transfer cart offers significant advantages in safety, transport efficiency, cost control, and on-site management. It is particularly suitable for modern factories that demand smooth material handling and high space utilization.

Common load capacities range from 1 ton to 10 tons, with 2-ton, 3-ton, and 5-ton models being the most popular for parts workshops, precision manufacturing facilities, and assembly line operations.
