THE POWERCART
POWERING THE FUTURE
Weβve redefined material handling with PowerCart, replacing outdated conveyor systems with autonomous, explosion-proof carts that operate independentlyβno chains, no bottlenecks, no downtime. PowerCarts seamlessly integrate with all tunnel, robotic painting and finishing systems, creating a fully automated, connected manufacturing line that eliminates bottlenecks and delivers 500% more daily throughput. Their explosion-proof design (Class 1, Division 1 compliant) makes them ideal for hazardous environments, ensuring maximum safety without compromising speed or efficiency.

PRODUCT DETAILS
PowerCart, is the intelligent material processing system engineered to revolutionize your ο¬nishing line with smart, independent operation and unmatched ο¬exibility. Unlike traditional chain-driven systems that are limited by ο¬xed speeds and bottlenecks, PowerCart moves autonomously, adapting in real-time to your production ο¬ow. Each cart operates independentlyβno chains, no rails, no restrictionsβgiving you the freedom to optimize efficiency, eliminate bottlenecks, and achieve precise control over every part of your process. Magnet-controlled positioning ensures carts stop exactly where needed, while instant stop functionality allows workers to pause individual carts without disrupting the entire line.
itβs built for the future
Fully programmable to your workflow, PowerCart integrates seamlessly with robotic systems and HalCon Tunnels, creating a fully automated, connected finishing ecosystem. With 360Β° rotating tabletops for optimal spray positioning, real-time performance tracking, and on-the-go charging, PowerCart keeps your production running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Plus, its explosion-proof design (Class 1, Division 1) makes it safe for hazardous environments, while its compact footprint maximizes factory space. This isnβt just a conveyor systemβitβs the brain of your finishing line

What drives the PowerCart? |
A 12V Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Battery powering a Motor and inline Gear Drive. |
How fast does a PowerCart move? |
~33-36 Feet per Minute (FPM) depending on load. |
What Batteries can be used with the PowerCart? |
Only 12V AGM Batteries. Do not use Lead Acid or Lithium. |
How Does a PowerCart Battery Charge? |
Charge Rails along the route maintain the PowerCartβs Battery. |
How long does a PowerCart need to Charge? |
3 mins per 100 FT of track. The min/100 FT can be split among multiple Charge Rails for production flow considerations. |
Does the Kick Switch on the PowerCart shut off the Battery? |
No. The Kick Switches only stop the cart indefinitely. They do not affect the Battery. |
Can a PowerCartβs Battery be shut off remotely? |
No. |
Can the PowerCarts be Started/Stopped remotely at each Work Break? |
Yes. On the CartLord Monitor click Start Carts or Stop Carts. |
What type of Product can be used with the PowerCart? |
PowerCarts are currently carrying everything from furniture to doors to aerospace components around the world. |
What type of Rack does a PowerCart use? |
PowerCarts can use a TableTop Rack for most product, a Door Rack for Entry Doors (96β L x 48β standard), or a Hangline Rack for products such as Cabinet Doors. Additionally, customers can design their own fixtures to mount atop the PowerCart. |
When one PowerCart stops, does every other PowerCart stop? |
No, PowerCarts are independent so they can stop while the rest of the line continues moving. |
