First Factory Relocation Project Using Heavy Equipment Moving Rollers
The first relocation project began one week after commissioning. The customer planned to move three large production machines from the old assembly area to a newly completed workshop without interrupting adjacent production lines.
The equipment included:
- 28-ton stamping press
- 21-ton CNC machining center
- 17-ton hydraulic forming machine
Each relocation required precise positioning because the machines needed to align accurately with power supplies, compressed air pipelines, and production conveyors. Before movement, operators lifted each machine slightly using hydraulic jacks before positioning the heavy equipment moving rollers underneath the load. Once the weight was evenly distributed, operators controlled the system remotely while guiding the equipment along predetermined routes.
The variable-speed drive system allowed slow, stable movement through narrow factory aisles. When approaching installation positions, operators reduced travel speed to achieve millimeter-level positioning. Compared with the company’s previous relocation method, the entire process became smoother, quieter, and significantly safer.
Factory supervisors reported that equipment vibration during transportation was almost eliminated, reducing concerns about machine calibration after installation.
Daily Performance of The Electric Machinery Moving Dolly
After several weeks of continuous operation, the customer recorded detailed operating data for internal evaluation. The Electric Machinery Skate was used almost every working day for equipment relocation, maintenance support, and production line adjustments. Several operational improvements became evident.
Compared with previous handling methods:
- Equipment relocation efficiency increased by approximately 40%
- Labor requirements decreased from four operators to two
- Average machine positioning time was reduced by nearly 50%
- Equipment installation preparation became significantly faster
- Production downtime decreased noticeably
The customer also praised the stability of the remote-control system. Even when transporting large stamping presses weighing nearly 30 tons, the machine maintained smooth acceleration and stable braking without sudden movement.
Battery performance also exceeded expectations. Under normal factory conditions, one charge supported approximately 3 to 4 hours of continuous operation, covering most daily relocation tasks without requiring intermediate charging.
