About the Handy Carriage

About Handy Carriage - All Fab Corp.

The MAC Handy Carriage I-D is a high-performance, portable, automatic welding carriage used for welding long horizontal fillet welds. The Handy Carriage requires no track or guide rails, instead a powerful magnet along with four wheel drive and two guide rolls in contact with the work-piece which provides excellent traction and tracking. The following are just a few of the many advantages the MAC Handy Carriage has to offer over conventional manual welding:

Less Operator Fatigue and Greater Safety: In manual welding the welders are usually in the uncomfortable position of kneeling or bending and tire very quickly. Manual welding also subjects the welder to a much harsher environment because of the welders close proximity to the welding area which is full of smoke, heat, arc rays and hot spatter. The handy carriage allows the operator to be in a comfortable and safe position away from the harsh conditions of the welding area. In most situations one operator can operate several units at the same time thus increasing productivity even further.

Less Operator Skill and Higher Weld Quality: The Handy Carriage requires less operator skill than manual welding and produces a more uniform consistent higher quality weld.

Fast Payback: The low initial cost of the Handy Carriage, increased productivity, higher weld quality and greater safety all lead to an extremely fast payback time.

Typical Applications:

  • Fabricated Beams & Tee's

  • Ship and Barge Construction

  • Trailer Frames

  • Bridge Construction

  • Steel Frames

  • Containers & Storage Tanks

  • Stiffeners and Ribs

Standard Features of the MAC Handy Carriage I-D:

Four wheel drive for smooth and steady travel.
