Mold Transfer Cart in the Mold Workshop

Number of visits：3 seconds Update time：2025-12-20

In the production workshop of this manufacturing company in Qingdao, workers used to dread mold installation and removal – the molds, weighing several tons each, had to be transported using lifting equipment or forklifts, which was cumbersome and dangerous. It required several people to work together, and even a slight misalignment could easily cause damage to the molds or machinery, wasting time and leading to workplace accidents. Safety hazards were a constant concern.

To solve this problem, the company tried many methods until they introduced trackless transfer carts Unexpectedly, after more than a year of use, mold transfer in the workshop has been completely transformed, and the workers all praise it: "This equipment has truly solved a big problem!"

This mold transfer cart looks simple, but its design is perfectly suited to the workshop's needs: the platform is equipped with specialized tooling and a traction device, and the entire process can be operated with a remote control. Previously, moving molds with a forklift required careful angle adjustments, and it could take half an hour; now, workers can stand in a safe area with a remote control, and with a few simple presses, the trackless transfer cart can accurately drive to the rack or machine, automatically pull the mold onto the cart, and then steadily deliver it to the designated workstation. Even the installation onto the machine can be done with a single button, without any manual assistance.

Even more reassuring is that the mold transfer cart doesn't rely on tracks; it can go wherever needed in the workshop, and can flexibly turn corners and navigate around equipment. The modular tooling on the platform can also be adjusted according to the size of different molds, fitting perfectly with the machines and racks, eliminating any worries about mold sliding or shifting.

Since switching to this trackless transfer cart, the changes in the workshop have been particularly noticeable: mold transfer that previously required 3-4 people can now be done by one person, directly halving labor costs; the transfer and installation time has been reduced from half an hour to 5 minutes, increasing production efficiency; and there have been no more collisions or workplace accidents, providing complete safety assurance. The workshop layout has also become more flexible, eliminating the need to leave extra-large spaces for forklift turns, significantly increasing space utilization.

In fact, such pain points are common in the mold handling industry – molds are heavy and precise, and traditional lifting and forklift transportation are not only inefficient but also prone to damaging the molds and causing safety accidents. Trackless transfer carts (mold carts) perfectly address these industry needs: the trackless design breaks spatial limitations, remote control reduces reliance on manual labor, modular tooling adapts to various molds, and the automatic traction function simplifies loading and unloading processes.

Whether it's the daily transfer of small and medium-sized molds or the installation and disassembly of large precision molds, it can replace traditional handling methods with its advantages of "flexibility, safety, and efficiency." For manufacturing companies, choosing the right mold transfer cart can not only solve the cumbersome problem of mold handling but also optimize workshop logistics, reduce costs, and improve overall production efficiency, making it a "workshop essential" for mold handling.

Now, in the workshop of this company in Qingdao, the mold transfer cart has become the main equipment for mold transfer. More and more companies engaged in mold processing and machinery manufacturing are also starting to adopt it, because who wouldn't want to use equipment that makes production safer and more efficient?
