30-ton pallet truck for the transport of transformer stations

Supplier of systems for the electricity grid Alfen was looking for a special means of transport to transport heavy transformer stations internally. PTB Special Products designed and developed the radio-controlled EPD300G; a special pallet truck with an impressive lifting capacity of 30 tons!

Electrical energy

Alfen is a listed Dutch company that is active as a supplier of products for the distribution of electrical energy. Alfen produces, among other things, transformer stations and offers total solutions in the field of the high and medium voltage grid. PTB already supplied several means of transport to optimize the logistics surrounding the various products.

Efficient logistics

Alfen wanted to optimize the logistics in and around the production line of transformer stations. The special means of transport had to be able to stably lift transformer stations weighing up to 30 tons.

Great platform

The EPD300G has a platform of no less than three meters long! This allows the transformer stations, with dimensions of 3.70 by 3.70 x 3.80 meters, to be easily lifted and transported. The machine is equipped with two drive units. This means there is always sufficient grip and traction available.

Moving heavy parts

The EPD300G is ideal for moving heavy parts such as transformer stations, wind turbine parts or heavy tools and moulds. This platform truck is controlled with a drawbar. This type of transport is also available with sit or stand control.

Precision and control

In addition to drawbar steering, the platform truck is also equipped with radio control. This makes it possible to control the platform truck extremely accurately. The desired operation is easy to set with a selector switch.
