Motorized Platform Carts

Motorized Platform Carts for Material-Handling

Motorized platform carts are battery-powered material-handling carts designed to move heavy loads safely through industrial facilities. Electro Kinetic Technologies manufactures ergonomic motorized platform carts that improve workplace safety, reduce manual hauling, and increase operational efficiency.

Our product line includes 16 models with load capacities ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 pounds and incline ratings up to 15 degrees.

For heavier applications, our industrial motorized platform carts can move loads up to 30,000 pounds. These carts feature AC Vector Power© technology, smartphone-enabled battery management, power-on-demand steering, and swappable AGM or lithium iron phosphate batteries for reliable 24/7 operation.
