Product Overview
The BJT-30T cable drum transfer cart is a 30-ton rail-mounted transfer vehicle designed for fixed-path material handling over distances of up to 50 meters.
Instead of using batteries or low-voltage rail power, the cart receives 380V AC power through a motorized cable drum. The drum automatically winds and unwinds the power cable as the cart moves along the track.
This configuration eliminates battery charging and battery replacement while keeping the power cable controlled and protected during operation.
The BJT-30T is suitable for die transfer, mold handling, steel component transportation, foundry material handling, and cross-bay transfer where a fixed rail route is available.
Key Features
Motorized Cable Drum
The powered reel automatically winds and unwinds the cable during cart movement, reducing loose cable on the workshop floor.
380V AC Power
The cart uses a 380V AC industrial power supply through the cable drum, eliminating battery charging and battery replacement.
Rail Guidance
Flanged steel wheels keep the cart aligned with the rail. The standard rail gauge is 1435 mm, with other gauges available according to the track layout.
VFD Drive
The variable-frequency drive provides controlled acceleration, deceleration, and travel speed adjustment.
The standard travel speed range is 0–20 m/min.
Heat Protection
For foundry and high-temperature applications, additional heat shields and protective measures can be provided for the motor, cable, control box, and other exposed components.
Technical Data
The technical data of this transfer cart is listed as follows. It has a payload of 30,000 kg and adopts a 380V AC power supply with a motorized cable drum. Its travel speed ranges from 0 to 20 m/min, and the maximum standard travel distance reaches 50 m. The wheel diameter is Ø400 mm, and it is equipped with a 4 kW drive motor. The deck height is approximately 600 mm, while the standard deck dimension is 4000 × 2200 mm. It comes with a flat deck, and customized deck configurations are available upon request.
Applications
The BJT-30T cable drum transfer cart is designed for fixed-route transportation of heavy materials in industrial facilities.
Typical applications include:
Stamping Die Transfer
Move dies between the stamping press, die storage area, maintenance station, and production line.
Mold Transfer
Transport large molds between production areas, maintenance stations, and storage locations.
Steel Component Handling
Move steel structures, fabricated parts, plates, and other heavy components between workshop bays.
Foundry Material Handling
Transport heavy castings and other materials in foundries. Heat shields and suitable protective components can be added for high-temperature environments.
How the BJT-30T Cable Drum System Works
The BJT-30T is powered by a motorized cable reel mounted on the transfer cart.
As the cart moves forward, the reel releases the required length of cable. When the cart returns, the reel winds the cable back onto the drum.
The cable can be routed through a shallow floor duct beside the rail, helping keep the workshop floor clear and reducing the risk of the cable being damaged by forklifts, trucks, or other equipment.
The cable drum motor is interlocked with the cart drive system and operates as required during travel.
This makes BJT suitable for factories that have:
1、A fixed rail route
2、A relatively short travel distance
3、A stable 380V AC power source
4、No requirement for battery-powered operation
Application
Frequently Asked Questions
How is BJT different from BTL?
The main difference is cable management.
BTL uses a trailing cable, while BJT uses a motorized cable drum to automatically wind and unwind the cable as the cart moves.
Why does the BJT-30T not use a battery?
Power is supplied through the cable drum from the 380V AC industrial power source.
This eliminates battery charging, battery replacement, and production downtime caused by battery charging.
What travel distance can the BJT-30T handle?
This configuration is designed for a maximum standard travel distance of 50 m.
For longer routes, a different cable reel configuration or another power supply method such as BHX may be more suitable.
Where does the power cable run?
The cable is normally routed through a shallow duct alongside the rail. The exact cable arrangement depends on the workshop layout.
Can the BJT-30T have a lifting platform?
Yes. The basic model has a flat deck, while optional configurations can include a hydraulic lift, rotating deck, V-frame, or roller deck.
