Usage Areas and Advantages of Electric Platform Truck (EPT)

In the industrial and logistics sectors, electric platform trucks (EPT) have become an essential part of modern transportation technology, ensuring the efficient and safe transport of heavy loads. Also known by various names such as industrial transport vehicle, heavy-duty carrier, coil roll battery-powered transport cart, cabin electric transporter, or self-propelled load vehicle, these systems are effectively utilized in various industrial applications today.

EPT is widely used across different industries:

• Metal and Foundry Industry: Used as an automatic heavy-duty transporter for moving steel coils, cast parts, and machinery.

• Logistics and Warehousing: Preferred as a battery-powered transfer vehicle for fast and organized load transfers within warehouses.

• Shipyard and Marine Industry: Functions as a modular transport vehicle for ship modules, massive spare parts, and assembly lines.

• In-Plant Transportation: Used as a battery-powered in-plant transporter to regulate material flow and enhance efficiency.

EPT is equipped with advanced technologies to facilitate and ensure safe heavy load transport. Here are the key features of this flatbed transport platform:

• Capacity: Models are available with load capacities ranging from 10 tons to 400 tons.

• Speed: Can travel at speeds of up to 50 meters per minute.

• Wheel Options: Compatible with different surfaces through solid rubber, pneumatic, and polyurethane wheels.

• Control Mechanism: Operated via remote control or from an onboard cabin.

• Power Source: Available with lithium battery and diesel engine options.

• Motor Technology: Utilizes high-efficiency PMAC and AC motors.

• Steering Capability: Moves in all directions, with 360° rotation (carousel) and crab movement (horizontal and diagonal motion).

• Safety Systems: Equipped with laser and ultrasonic sensors, bumper systems, and emergency stop mechanisms.

• Dimensions and Loading Platform: Can be custom-manufactured according to specific usage needs.

• Certification: Complies with occupational safety regulations, EN standards, and CE certification.

EPT provides several benefits for industrial transportation operations:

• Efficiency: Its powerful motor and specialized design allow the self-propelled load vehicle to transport loads quickly and safely.

• Flexibility: Thanks to its all-directional movement capability and customizable dimensions, it is suitable for various industrial applications.

• Safety: Advanced sensors, bumpers, and emergency stop systems ensure the highest level of operator safety.

• Low Maintenance Cost: Battery-powered and electric motor options reduce fuel and maintenance costs.

• Eco-Friendly Design: Lithium battery-powered models operate with zero emissions, making them environmentally friendly.

Although the electric platform truck (EPT) is known by different names such as a modular transport vehicle, battery-powered in-plant transporter, or coil roll battery-powered transport cart, its main purpose remains the same: to transport heavy loads efficiently, safely, and effortlessly. With a wide range of capacity options, advanced safety systems, and a flexible design, it is an indispensable piece of equipment in the industrial world. Developed with FADA’s cutting-edge technology, these transporters help optimize your business processes from production to logistics.
