ES Project Overview
- Client: Textile Industrial Park, Athens, Greece
- Solution Provider: DQCRANES (China-based heavy machinery manufacturer)
- Product: 5 units of KPX-10 Ton Battery-Powered Rail Transfer Carts with customized rail systems
- Objective: Replace outdated diesel forklifts with automated, zero-emission material handling systems to optimize logistics, reduce costs, and align with EU sustainability goals.
Customer Overview
The Textile Industrial Park is located in the northwest industrial belt of Athens, Greece, covering an area of 120,000 square meters. There are 5 large production workshops, 3 storage centers, and supporting packaging lines in the park, with an average daily material transportation volume of more than 300 tons. The park mainly produces high-end home textile fabrics, and its products are exported to the EU and Middle East markets. However, the traditional manual forklift transportation mode is inefficient and faces the following pain points:
- Low transportation efficiency: The distance between the workshop and the warehouse is 800 meters, and the forklift takes 25 minutes/time to go back and forth, and materials often pile up during peak hours.
- High labor cost: The average annual labor cost of 12 forklift drivers exceeds 480,000 euros, and the labor shortage problem is prominent.
- Safety hazards: People and vehicles are mixed in narrow passages, and 3 minor collision accidents occurred in 2024.
Core Needs
- Replace manual forklifts to achieve 24-hour continuous transportation between workshop-warehouse-packaging line.
- Single load ≥ 8 tons, suitable for 6% slope sections in the park.
- Silent operation for running night shifts without noise complaints.

Customized Design Highlights
- Modular track system: Using detachable track sections to adapt to the spacing between workshop columns (minimum turning radius 15 meters) to avoid building structure modification.
- Anti-static treatment: The body surface is coated with a conductive coating (resistance value ≤10⁶Ω) to prevent static adsorption during the transportation of textile raw materials.
- Low-noise operation: Motor noise ≤ 65dB (traditional diesel forklifts are 85dB), meeting the requirements for nighttime operations in the park.
- Dustproof Configuration: Sealed motor compartments and air-filtered control panels to withstand textile fiber particles.
Manufacturing and Exporting
The production process for the KPX-10 ton transfer carts was carried out at DQCRANES’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. A rigorous quality assurance process was implemented at every stage of production. From material selection to assembly and final testing, each cart underwent comprehensive inspections to guarantee durability, reliability, and compliance with safety standards.
Once manufacturing was complete, the five KPX-10 ton electric transfer carts were prepared for export to Greece. DQCRANES also provided detailed documentation, including user manuals and maintenance guidelines, to assist the client in operating and maintaining the equipment. Additionally, DQCRANES offered remote technical support to address any questions or concerns during installation and initial operation.
Enhancing Operations at the Textile Industrial Park
- Improved Efficiency: The carts enable swift and reliable transportation of heavy loads between different production areas, reducing downtime and enhancing workflow.
- Enhanced Safety: With advanced safety features in place, the risk of accidents and damage has been minimized, creating a safer working environment for employees.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: The battery-powered design aligns with the client’s sustainability goals by lowering carbon emissions and energy consumption.
- Cost Savings: The long-term operational efficiency of the KPX carts translates into reduced maintenance costs and higher overall cost-effectiveness.
Transfer Carts for Sale
Transfer carts have become essential tools in various industries, offering efficient solutions for transporting heavy loads and materials. Whether used in manufacturing, construction, or warehousing, these carts are designed to improve workflow and reduce manual labor. DQCRANES offers a range of transfer cars for sale to Greece:
