Rail Transfer Cart FAQs

A rail transfer cart is a flatbed cart on railroad wheels that carries heavy loads along a track, between plant bays, yards, work cells, or job sites. DymaxRail industrial rail transfer carts are rated 6 to 70 US tons and come with open, plate, or steel decks, park brakes, and load-specific features such as pipe saddles, fork pockets, and anti-tip legs.
The 13 models on this page are rated 6, 7.5, 10, 15, 22, 30, 40, 60, and 70 US tons. If your load falls between sizes or needs a different deck, DymaxRail builds custom rail carts.
The carts on this page are not self-propelled, but a powered pusher can move them
