If you work in a textile factory, you must have seen a beam transport trolley. Warp beam trollry are widely used in various textile mills. Their main function is to transport beams from different looms to warehouses or other places. There are two most well-known ones, one is hydraulic and the other is electric. Here, let s see the main function of beam transport trolley and its features.

SUNTECH beam transport trolley ST-MBT-09. The Electric Warp Beam Low Lift Trolley is designed for the easy transport of warpers beams and warp beams weighing up to 2000kg and is also suitable for longer distances, e.g. from the warping frame to the warping machine or to the warehouse. Depending on the warp beam length and the warp beam diameter, this trolley is also able to cope with gradients while transporting load. The sensitive driving and braking motions make it an uncomplicated transporter. The central drive allows a good traction, and the spring-loaded support wheels ensure good and safe driving characteristics.

First, let's take a look at beam transport trolley features:

1. AC motor

2. Gel battery

3. Electric power steering

4. High safety

5. Good brand main components

Why those features are better?

Why use AC motor not DC motor in beam transport trolley?

A: AC motor’ s structure is simple, while DC motor is complex

B: AC motor’ s Maintenance requirements is free, no need to maintain, while DC motor need to maintain with carbon brushes, need regular maintenance, high costs.

C: Efficiency&capacity. AC motor is high efficiency, large power range. While DC motor is limited speed, limited capacity.

D: Environmental performance. AC motor is no smoke, no pollution, low noise. While DC motor has generate spark during operation, short lifetime.

Why use gel battery instead of lead acid battery?

Let’ s see the difference between Gel battery and lead acid battery in beam transport trolley.

A: Gel battery’ s Maintenance requirements is free, no need balanced charging, while lead acid battery need adding electrolyte regularly, need balanced charging regularly.

B: Gel battery’ s working life is twice of lead acid battery. Lead acid battery can only charge 500 times.

C: Charging time. Gel battery’ s Charging time usually 3-4 hours, only 2-3 hours under 0.8-1.5CA fast charging. Fast charging does not affect battery life. While lead acid battery’ s charging time usually 12 hours.

D: Self-discharge time. Gel battery is convenient for long-term storage, after 1 year of storage at normal temperature, the capacity retention rate can still reach 90%, storing for 2 years at 20 ° C temperature, it can be put into operation without charging. As for lead acid battery, after 180 days of storage at 20°C environment, a deeply charging is required, otherwise the battery would be damaged.

E: Full charge and discharge capability. Gel battery can be reused again after several minutes when power is off, which is especially beneficial for emergency use. While lead acid battery has to charge again.

F: Self-recovery. Gel Battery is more stable under high load, while lead acid battery is bot good under high load.

G: Environmental performance. Gel Battery is environmental protection(No pollution), the electrolyte can be used as fertilizer, the battery grid can be recycled. As for lead acid battery, it needs special treatment to avoid environment pollution.

What’ s more, Electric Steering System uses motor to control the drive wheels instead of manpower to turn the drive wheels. When need to adjusts the direction of trolley, the operator only needs to turn the handle lightly. The required manpower is only one fifth of the mechanical steering. The principle is same as car steering system, which really saves efforts and improves working efficiency.
