Transfer Carts

For horizontal load transfers of a wide range of material, Caldwell has
the heavy duty, high quality Transfer Cart solution you need. Transfer
carts are used: to carry loads along assembly lines; transfer material
from one work station to the next; store and transport an entire shift
worth of production. They can even be used as a stable yet moveable
machine base. With four different styles and standard capacities up to
60 tons, we have the solution you need and each style can be designed
for your specific application.

Towed Transfer Carts

Towed by winch, forklift, behind another powered transfer cart or towed by people.

These towed or pulled type transfer carts are not powered and are meant to be pulled or towed. Pulling can be done by another transfer cart that is powered via coupling the carts together. Alternatively, a fork lift (of adequate capacity) can be used to pull a cart of this type.

A transfer cart of this type when pulled by a winch can be a cost effective alternative to a powered transfer cart (on rail) to move loads along a fixed rail path.

Pull type transfer carts are versatile and can be easily customized to suit applications.

Applications:

• Production assembly lines
• Material delivery
• Stock transfer
• Fork lift trailer
• Die transfer

Specifications:

• Lengths of 4, 6 or 8 FT (or to suit application)
• Widths of 4 or 6 FT (or to suit application)

Features:

• All welded construction of structural steel
• Two swivel and two rigid steel casters
• Coupling connection for towing
• Capacity signage both side

Manual

Capacity Range: From 1,000 to 10,000 lbs.
Manual Transfer Carts can be pushed or pulled by operators over smooth or semi smooth level floors. They easily maneuver loads without a fork lift. These rugged manual carts are versatile and can be customized to suit your application.

Product Features:

• Welded construction of structural steel
• Two swivel and two rigid or four swivel casters
• Steel deck
• Capacity signs both sides
• U Bar push handle
