BECHUR PROJECT CASE

Heavy-Duty Electric Flatcar Cross-Process Transportation Solution for Mold Workshop

Customized heavy-duty electric flatcars for efficient transportation of large molds, dies and tooling between multiple production processes in industrial manufacturing workshops.


BECHUR Heavy Duty Electric Flatcar for Mold Workshop
PROJECT BACKGROUND

Cross-Process Transportation of Heavy Industrial Molds

In large mold manufacturing and automotive component workshops, molds frequently need to be transferred between production, maintenance, inspection, assembly and storage areas.

These molds are typically heavy, large in size and difficult to handle efficiently with conventional forklifts.

For this project, BECHUR supplied a customized heavy-duty electric flatcar transportation solution to improve material transfer between different production processes.

The large loading platform allows heavy molds and tooling to be placed directly onto the vehicle by an overhead crane and transported efficiently to the next workstation.

CUSTOMER CHALLENGES

Challenges in Heavy Mold Handling

The customer required a transportation system capable of carrying large molds safely while maintaining flexibility between different workshop processes.

Heavy-load transportation for large molds and tooling
Frequent transfer between multiple production processes
Stable transportation of oversized and heavy loads
Easy loading and unloading using overhead cranes
Flexible movement within existing workshop aisles
Accurate positioning near production equipment
Reduced dependence on forklift transportation
Minimal modification to existing workshop infrastructure
BECHUR SOLUTION

Heavy-Duty Battery Electric Flatcar Solution

BECHUR developed a battery-powered heavy-duty electric flatcar specifically for mold handling and cross-process transportation. The vehicle adopts a reinforced steel frame and low-profile platform structure to provide stable support for large industrial molds.

According to the customer’s workshop layout, mold dimensions and transportation requirements, the electric flatcar can be customized in load capacity, platform dimensions, steering configuration, control system and safety protection devices.

Mold Storage Production Maintenance Inspection Assembly

Instead of relying on fixed rail routes, the electric flatcar provides greater flexibility for transferring molds between multiple production stations within the workshop.

KEY SOLUTION FEATURES

Designed for Heavy-Duty Mold Transportation

01 / STRUCTURE

Heavy-Duty Load-Bearing Structure

Reinforced welded steel construction provides stable support for concentrated loads generated by large molds and heavy tooling.

02 / FLEXIBILITY

Flexible Cross-Process Transportation

The vehicle can connect multiple production areas without being restricted by fixed rail routes.

03 / PLATFORM

Low-Profile Platform Design

The low platform helps reduce the overall center of gravity when carrying tall, large and heavy molds.

04 / POWER

Battery-Powered Operation

Onboard battery power eliminates trailing cables and supports flexible transportation throughout the workshop.

05 / LOADING

Convenient Crane Loading

The large flat platform allows molds to be loaded and unloaded directly using the customer’s existing overhead cranes.

06 / SAFETY

Integrated Safety Protection

Emergency stop, warning devices, anti-collision protection and additional safety functions can be configured as required.

TRANSPORTATION PROCESS

From Mold Loading to Workstation Positioning

The electric flatcar works together with the customer’s existing overhead crane system to create a simple and efficient mold transportation process.

01

Mold Loading

The overhead crane lifts the mold and places it directly onto the electric flatcar platform.

02

Heavy-Duty Transportation

The flatcar transports the mold through the workshop toward the designated production area.

03

Workstation Positioning

The vehicle approaches the target workstation and stops at the required handling position.

04

Mold Unloading

The overhead crane lifts the mold from the flatcar for production, maintenance, inspection or storage.

PROJECT BENEFITS
