Material Handling

How to calculate the motor capacity for a material handling trolley?

This motor finds application in a simple material (of weight about 3-4 tonnes) moving trolley for industrial purposes. So it may be useful if you specify the type of motor such as ac , dc, etc.,also it will be very useful if you can supplement the answers with relations and necessary diagrams.

A horsepower is a horsepower, and that means 33,000 ft-lbs/min. So you have to know how fast you want to move the material in order to know the horsepower needed. You also need to evaluate the reactive torque of the trolley system. Need variable speeds? Go DC. Otherwise, an AC motor is the most reliable. If you can get a handle on those things, then you're good to go (in a manner of speaking).
