Introduction
This small-tonnage narrow-gauge rail transfer cart is a tailor-made rail transport equipment for light-duty, fixed-route material handling inside workshops and factories. It adopts trailing cable power supply and manual handle control, matched with a 700mm narrow track gauge and ultra-low platform design, perfectly solving the transportation demands of long and slender workpieces in compact production spaces.

Power Supply Mode: Trailing cable power supply
Overall Platform Dimension (L×W): 8800 mm × 1714 mm
Platform Ground Clearance Height: 388 mm
Applicable Track Gauge: 700 mm
Operation Control: Manual wired handle operation

Core Product Features
Ultra-low & Extra-long Platform Design
The platform height is only 388 mm, greatly lowering the loading and unloading height of goods, which avoids lifting equipment for small workpieces and reduces labor intensity. The extra-long 8800mm platform can stably carry long shafts, profiles, metal pipes and other slender raw materials without overhanging or tipping risks during transit.
700mm Narrow Gauge Adaptability
Customized for 700mm small gauge tracks, it occupies less workshop ground space compared with standard gauge carts. Tracks are easy to pave with low construction costs, ideal for narrow production passages, small processing workshops and mini assembly lines with limited layout space.
Stable Trailing Cable Power System
Directly powered by external industrial power cables, it realizes non-stop continuous operation without charging downtime, unlike battery-driven trolleys. The power output is constant with no voltage drop under full load, delivering stable traction even when loaded to 3 tons. The cable is wear-resistant and oil-proof, suitable for dusty workshop environments.
Simple & Intuitive Handle Control
Equipped with a handheld wired control handle, operators can easily realize forward, backward, stop and emergency stop functions. The low-voltage control circuit effectively prevents electric shock hazards; new staff can master operation within minutes with zero complicated training required.
Compact & Robust Welded Frame
The whole vehicle frame is made of thickened integral steel plates through full welding, with strong anti-collision and deformation resistance. Wear-resistant alloy rail wheels ensure smooth running, low noise and long service life under frequent high-frequency transportation cycles.
Low Maintenance & Cost-Effective Structure
No expensive battery packs or automatic cable reel components are installed. Daily maintenance only needs regular inspection of cable abrasion and wheel lubrication, greatly cutting long-term operation and maintenance costs for factories.
Wide Application Scenarios
This narrow-gauge 3-ton rail transfer cart is widely used in short-distance fixed-point material transportation in multiple industries:
Machinery Processing Workshops
Transport long metal shafts, casting blanks, mold parts and semi-finished products between different processing stations, connecting lathes, milling machines and assembly areas.
Metal Profile & Pipe Manufacturing Plants
Carry long aluminum alloy profiles, steel pipes, copper bars and elongated raw materials from cutting workshops to surface treatment or packaging areas.
Small Foundry & Forging Factories
Complete short-distance transfer of light castings and small forgings within narrow production lines, adapting to high-temperature and dusty workshop conditions.
Wood Processing Factories
Move long planks, timber logs and finished woodwork along fixed narrow tracks to cutting, polishing and storage zones.
Small Assembly & Electronic Equipment Factories
Transport large cabinet frames, long structural parts and production line fixtures between assembly stations, matching compact workshop layouts with narrow passages.
Indoor Warehouses & Raw Material Storage Areas
Realize regular shuttle transport of long-size goods between storage racks and production lines, replacing manual forklifts to improve handling safety and consistency.
