Portable Tank Girth Welding Tractor with Welding Power Source
| After-sales service provided | Engineers available to service machinery overseas, Video technical support |
| Voltage | 380v/50hz or customized |
| Usage | Carbon Steel welding, seam welding of metal material |
| Certification | CE, CCC |
The Portable Tank Girth & Longitudinal Rail Welding Cart is an innovative, self-contained system designed to automate and significantly improve the quality and efficiency of welding horizontal (girth) and vertical (longitudinal) seams on large cylindrical tanks, vessels, and pipes. This compact, track-mounted solution provides a stable platform for welding torches (MIG/MAG, TIG, SAW, FCAW), ensuring precise, consistent travel along the weld path.
Its defining feature is portability - the entire system (cart, drive unit, control panel, and modular tracks) is easily transported and rapidly set up directly on the tank surface itself, eliminating the need for heavy, fixed-position welding manipulators or complex scaffolding.

- True Portability: Lightweight, modular design for easy transport and on-site setup directly on the tank.
- Dual-Axis Capability: Effortlessly welds both horizontal (girth) seams around the tank circumference and vertical (longitudinal) seams along its height.
- Modular Track System: Rails connect quickly to form any required length for girth welds or height for longitudinal welds. Secure tank mounting.
- Precise Speed Control: Digital variable speed control ensures consistent travel speed critical for high-quality welds.
- Stable Platform: Rigid rail system minimizes vibration and wandering, ensuring torch stability.
- Simple Operation: Intuitive controls, easy torch mounting, and quick track setup minimize training time.
- Dramatically Increased Welding Speed: Automates travel, significantly faster than manual welding.
- Superior Weld Quality & Consistency: Eliminates human variability; produces uniform, defect-free seams (reduced porosity, undercut, lack of fusion).
- Enhanced Worker Safety: Reduces need for welders to work at height or in confined spaces for long periods; improves ergonomics.
- Reduced Labor Costs: One operator can manage multiple carts or perform other tasks while welding.
- Lower Skill Dependency: Less reliance on highly skilled manual welders for consistent results.
- Reduced Rework & Scrap: Consistent quality minimizes costly repairs and material waste.
- Rapid Setup & Deployment: Saves significant time compared to erecting scaffolding or positioning large manipulators.
- Versatility: Handles various tank sizes and seam types (girth & longitudinal).
- Field construction and repair of storage tanks (oil, water, chemicals, LNG)
- Fabrication of pressure vessels, silos, and large-diameter piping
- Power plant boiler and stack fabrication/repair
- Shipbuilding (tank sections)
- Water/wastewater treatment tank fabrication & maintenance
- Wind turbine tower section welding (girth seams)
- General heavy fabrication involving large cylindrical structures
