A remotely controlled transport platform for molds (up to 65T capacity) – an innovative solution for the plastics processing, automotive, and steel industries. It safely transports heavy loads in facilities lacking overhead cranes, thanks to an electric drive and remote control (wired or wireless). Offering up to eight hours of continuous operation and a robust design, the platform excels in demanding industrial environments while prioritizing ergonomics and operator safety.
Remotely Controlled Transport Platform for Molds (up to 65T)
- Transport capacity of up to 65 tons, especially suitable where neither overhead cranes nor standard forklifts are feasible.
- Operable by a single operator – thanks to intuitive remote control (wired or wireless).
- Enhanced mobility for heavy molds and tools while ensuring workplace safety.
Customized to Client Requirements
- Design, load capacity, and power are tailored to specific customer needs (e.g., automotive, steel, aerospace industries).
- Integration of remote control systems and other supportive devices is possible.
- Compatibility with existing factory equipment, production lines, and transport systems.
- Adaptation of functions and parameters to the layout of the facility and required material flow.
- Selection of wheel materials (e.g., rubber, plastic, metal) depending on usage conditions and floor characteristics.
Applications in Various Industries
- Plastics Processing Industry: efficient transport of large tools and molds used in production;
- Automotive Industry: moving engines, chassis components, and various assemblies;

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this platform replace an overhead crane or a forklift?
In many cases, yes. It’s particularly suitable for production facilities where installing an overhead crane is impossible or forklifts are insufficient for extremely heavy loads or restricted space. - What types of loads can be transported?
The platform is primarily designed for heavy molds, tools, and components (up to 65 tons). This includes machinery, large coils, and sizable assemblies. - Do operators need special certification?
Operators should receive training in remote control and safety procedures. Typically, requirements are less stringent than those for crane or forklift operators, but regulations may vary by region or country. - How is the platform powered?
It can run on batteries (accumulators) or via a direct electrical connection. Both options are usually available and can be chosen based on client preferences. - Can the platform move on slopes or ramps?
Yes, it can handle gradients of up to approximately 7%, depending on the specific model and factors such as wheel material, power output, and floor conditions. - What about maintenance and servicing?
Maintenance typically includes periodic inspections (e.g., checking batteries, the drive system, and sensors) and verifying the condition of the wheels.
Conclusion:
The remotely controlled transport platform with a load capacity of up to 65 tons offers a highly flexible internal transport solution for numerous industrial sectors. Particularly where overhead cranes are not an option or conventional vehicles reach their limits, it ensures maximum safety, high efficiency, and optimized logistics within production plants.
