30 TON CAPACITY COIL TRANSFER CART V TABLE
30 TON CAPACITY COIL TRANSFER CART WITH V-TABLE
Project Summary
Challenges
- Transporting finished steel coils safely from production to the storage area without crane dependency.
- Keeping center-of-gravity stable during acceleration, braking, and turning within narrow aisles.
- Preventing coil slippage and surface damage while ensuring fast, repeatable handling.
Our Solution
- Engineered a 30-ton battery-powered transfer cart equipped with a custom V-shaped coil table for secure seating and load stability.
- Integrated soft-start/stop drive control and proportional braking for balanced dynamics in tight factory corridors.
- Added edge guards, anti-slip pads, and safety sensors to protect coil surfaces and operators during transfer.
Client’s Need
The client needed a reliable in-plant solution to move finished coils from the production line to the designated storage area. The system had to maintain coil integrity, minimize handling time, and operate safely in narrow aisles with frequent direction changes.
Project Challenge
Coils with varying diameters and widths change the load’s center of gravity. Frequent starts, stops, and turns increase the risk of slippage and surface damage. A stable, repeatable restraint method and precise motion control were essential for safe, high-throughput transfers.
Our Solution
FADA designed and manufactured a 30-ton transfer cart with a V-shaped table that cradles the coil and keeps it centered throughout motion. The V-table features replaceable anti-slip pads and side retainers to prevent micro-movements. Drive software provides ramped acceleration and regenerative braking to preserve stability and reduce energy consumption.
Key Technical Highlights
- ✔ V-shaped coil table with high-friction pads and adjustable side retainers
- ✔ Battery-powered drive (LiFePO4) with long runtime and opportunity charging
- ✔ Soft-start/stop and proportional braking to control load shift
- ✔ Compact turning radius for narrow aisles; optional omnidirectional steering
- ✔ Safety suite: audible/visual alerts, proximity sensors, emergency stop
Result
The solution enabled fast, repeatable coil transfers to the storage area with zero surface damage and improved operator safety. Handling time was reduced, crane usage minimized, and overall intralogistics efficiency increased—while maintaining stable, balanced motion across the entire route.
