Die Change & Transfer Cart (DTC)

The FADA Die Change & Transfer Cart (DTC) is designed to safely and precisely transport and replace dies weighing between 5 and 50 tons in industrial production environments. Equipped with a single-wheel steering system, the vehicle can rotate +90° / -90° around its rear axle center, offering exceptional maneuverability in narrow operational spaces.

Wheel options include Vulkolan and polyurethane tires, ensuring effective performance on various floor conditions. The system can operate via remote control or in autonomous mode, offering flexibility to operators. With a battery-powered drive system, it provides energy-efficient and environmentally friendly operation.

DTC models can be manufactured in customized table dimensions to accommodate different die sizes. Integrated laser and ultrasonic sensors enhance operational safety by minimizing collision risks and ensuring precise movement. All systems comply with EN standards and are certified with CE marking.





Application Areas

The DTC system streamlines die replacement processes, reduces human error and increases production continuity. It offers a safer and more controlled alternative to traditional crane-based or manual die handling methods, especially in high-tonnage applications.

Industry Use Cases

  • Automotive production lines
  • Metal casting and foundry operations
  • Spare part manufacturing and tool production facilities
  • Press lines and machinery production plants
  • Plastic injection and forming facilities
  • Heavy industry and defense manufacturing


Frequently Asked Questions

+

A Die Change and Transfer Cart is an industrial material handling solution designed to safely and efficiently transport heavy dies, molds, and tooling equipment within production facilities. It is commonly used during die change operations, production line transitions, and internal logistics between machining, storage, and press areas. Compared to crane- or forklift-based handling, it provides a more controlled, repeatable, and precise transfer process.

+

Die Change and Transfer Carts are custom-engineered according to die weight, dimensions, and floor conditions. They can be equipped with reinforced chassis structures, electric or battery-powered drive systems, and high-stability wheel configurations for smooth and controlled movement. To ensure safe handling, optional die fixing, positioning, braking, and load locking systems can be integrated. Control options include wireless remote control and on-board operator control panels, enabling precise maneuvering during die change operations.

+

Die Change and Transfer Carts are widely used in automotive manufacturing, plastic injection molding, press lines, metal forming facilities, and heavy machinery production plants. In operations where frequent die changes are required, these systems significantly reduce downtime, improve workplace safety, and increase production efficiency. They offer a reliable alternative to crane and forklift-based handling by delivering consistent and controlled die transfer.
