Hamilton Caster introduced two new product lines to its e-PowerCart & Trailer offerings. First, a series of four industrial e-Power pushers designed to push or pull in-plant trailers with load capacities between 3,000 and 100,000 lbs. Also, Hamilton is introducing three new e-Power Vehicles with easy wagon-style steering to push or pull payloads up to 10,000 lbs.
The four new pushers are designed to be more maneuverable and versatile with a smaller footprint than a forklift or an automated guided vehicle (AGV). E-Power pushers are more economical compared to AGV’s and most other custom-engineered powered equipment, according to the company.
Compared to elaborate transfer cars that are designed for the proverbial “one-trick” material handling application, Hamilton’s pushers can move materials in varying sizes and shapes in and out of hard-to-reach areas. To facilitate quick connects and disconnects, Hamilton engineers designed linkages between the powered and non-powered elements to work seamlessly together.
The in-plant trailers that link to the e-Power pushers and the decks of the e-Power vehicles can be designed with custom sizes and superstructures to address a wide range of material handling challenges. Optional side-steer or remote steering is also available.
