Transfer Carriages from Demag Are Flexible and Autonomous

Transfer Carriages with Battery Drives

About Our Battery-Powered Transfer Carriages

At Demag, we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the best equipment and components for material handling transportation, and that includes our line of battery-powered transfer carriages.

Demag drives make the right moves, with perfectly matching components for an efficient overall system. With our components for battery-powered transfer carriages, we can offer you a self-sufficient solution in which the charging and power unit is already integrated on board. All Demag drive components can be used with their full performance features for battery-powered systems.

By using our battery-powered carriages, you will be able to extend the range of your travel applications by:

Implementing rail-bound transfer carriages with the ability to overcome gaps at crossings
Facilitating indoor and outdoor applications where the power supply cannot be laid due to obstacles
Working within painting booths and other areas that are not suitable for an electric power supply
Utilizing a cost-effective solution for long travel paths, without the need for additional cabling and wiring for the power supply
Creating a system for emergency power supply to vertical applications
