Custom solutions for every operation: capacities up to 600 tons

No two scrap handling operations are alike, and neither are our carts. Morello’s in-house engineering team designs each scrap bucket cart around your plant layout, load profile, cycle frequency and operating environment. Whether you need a compact unit for a confined yard or a heavy-duty platform built to move the most demanding loads, we deliver vehicles engineered precisely to your requirements.

Each cart can be configured with:

  • Operator-controlled or fully automated (AGV) operation
  • Rail-guided traction tailored to the plant layout
  • Integrated weighing systems for load monitoring
  • Configurations suitable for both indoor and outdoor operations
  • PLC, sensor and software specifications matched to your existing automation environment
Custom solutions for every operation: capacities up to 600 tons

Why battery-powered? The smarter choice for heavy scrap handling

Diesel engines have long been the standard for moving heavy scrap loads — but they bring pollution, noise, high running costs and intensive maintenance. Steel mills are the most demanding example: most operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, accumulating scrap in large yards and transferring it continuously to the furnace using buckets that can hold up to 300 tons of scrap metals. Historically, this transfer has been handled by diesel-powered carts — because the yards are large, the distances long, and the working cycles intense.

But as industries focus on decarbonization, diesel vehicles are increasingly seen as a source of pollution that can be eliminated with a more efficient, sustainable solution.
Morello was among the first companies worldwide to engineer fully electric scrap bucket carts powered by latest-generation lithium batteries, and the operational advantages are unmatched:

Zero emissions

Fully pollution-free, safe for both indoor and outdoor operations, aligned with industrial decarbonization goals.

24/7 operation

Fast automatic recharging and intelligent recharging-management software keep the cart productive around the clock, 365 days a year.

Lower running costs

Electricity is significantly cheaper than diesel, with substantially lower cost per kilometer.

Near-zero ordinary maintenance

Brushless electric motors replace complex hydraulic systems, eliminating oil leaks, filter changes and the frequent technician interventions required by hydraulic motors.

Quieter operations

Ideal for facilities running day and night shifts.

Remote diagnostics and monitoring

IoT-enabled carts provide real-time performance data, predictive maintenance alerts and remote support from our engineers.

Engineered for the most demanding industrial cycles

A scrap bucket cart must be engineered for far more than load capacity. It must deliver durability, automation readiness and operational flexibility in the heavy industrial environments where it operates, from steel mills and foundries to any plant handling intense scrap-moving cycles.

Morello's carts are built around these priorities:

Robust structures engineered to withstand harsh operating environments

Full integration with plant management software via Wi-Fi, enabling automated workflows

Customizable to the specific requirements of each operation (PLC brand, sensor types, control logic)

Designed for both indoor and outdoor operation within the plant
