DESCRIPTION
When NASA was looking to build a cart to move equipment used in the servicing of their jet engines, it became apparent that the push/pull forces necessary to move the 2,000 pound cart raised the potential for employees to sustain injuries during transport. The carts also needed to be designed to allow them to mount their gear and equipment on top.
An international window and door manufacturer needed a motorized solution that could load, unload, and transport 16 foot long pieces of material between a storage area and work cell. The solution that was designed for them incorporated a powered drive system and hydraulic lift that was driven off the on-board rechargeable batteries.
A large international industrial client needed to move a 3,500 pound payload through tight spaces while minimizing excessive push/pull forces that cause employee injuries. Working with the client, we designed a custom solution that integrated their automation system on top of the platform and housed the batteries & electronics in an IP66 enclosure.
One of our distributors ran into a problem when looking into ergonomic, motorized platform carts for a manufacturing client. The client needed to be able to move very long and heavy pieces of steel, sometimes weighting up to 2 tons. The length of the pieces made solutions such as a forklift non-viable.
Working with the engineers at Electro Kinetic Technologies, a cart designer came up with a motorized solution that would allow the kiosks to be moved quickly and effortlessly throughout the airport environment even on inclines. The final cart design provided all of the necessary product display space including storage for the operator.

Pony Express
GERMANTOWN, WI (September 8, 2022) - This year, the engineers at Electro Kinetic Technologies, Inc. have been hard at work constructing the newest innovations in electric material handling capabilities. With the introduction of the all-new Pony Express 1061 LITHIUM and 1061-HD LITHIUM electric tuggers, the electric tugger line is more powerful than ever, with each tugger able to pull or push a load of up to 1500 lbs. and 2000 lbs., respectively. These new products feature a wide range of capabilities, including lithium iron phosphate swappable battery packs, the tuggers’ namesake. This innovative tech allows for 24/7 operation, leading to more efficient project timelines and major cost savings. The battery pack weighs less than 34 lbs., yet delivers the performance you would expect from a 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery. Unlike other lithium technologies, these batteries have UN38.3 certification allowing for global safe transport. Another key feature of these brand-new electric tuggers is their Bluetooth® compatibility and smart phone monitoring app. Not only will the battery pack itself tell you when its charge is getting low, but you can monitor the status right from your smart phone. Operators using this technology will save time and energy from not needing to haul a dead battery all the way back to the charging station, and money savings are a given with battery life being extended 2-3 times.
