Morello’s rail-guided transfer carts

CAPACITY: 0 – 1000 TONS

With extensive expertise in rail-guided transfer carts, including shuttle lifting carts, Morello has become a leading provider across numerous industries, both nationally and internationally.

We deliver highly specialized solutions tailored to each customer’s requirements. Our operator-controlled rail-guided trolleys are ideal for industrial plants, construction sites, offshore platforms, and vessels. Available with different power supply options – diesel, battery, electric grid, or pneumatic – they offer versatile and reliable performance in a wide range of environments.

Morello’s rail-guided transfer carts are particularly suited for operations in the steel industry, concrete manufacturing, factory logistics, warehouses, ports, and other heavy-duty sectors that require rail-based movement and fixed production cycles. We also supply advanced die-change carts on rails, designed to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry by improving logistics and optimizing workflows.

Equipped with steel wheels and designed to run on steel rails, these operator-controlled transfer carts can support exceptionally high load capacities thanks to the minimal friction between the steel surfaces. Compared to battery or diesel trolleys that require steering systems and additional power, our rail-guided transfer carts provide a more cost-effective solution with comparable dimensions and loading capacities.

With more than 70 years of experience in manufacturing rail-guided transfer carts, Morello delivers vehicles that combine modern technologies with a strong focus on design and innovation.

We produce a wide range of automatic rail-guided transfer carts, coil transfer carts, and shuttle lifting carts to meet the needs of end users and EPC contractors aiming to automate their material handling processes. In addition, we offer fully automated transfer carts capable of interfacing with plant management software.

Morello has supplied automatic transfer carts to steel mills, heavy-load warehouses, and manufacturing industries around the world.

Typical applications of our operator-controlled rail-guided transfer carts include:

Connecting multiple bays in industrial buildings
Linking production areas to storage yards
Establishing transport routes between different plants and departments
Reducing the workload on overhead cranes inside bays
