Quick Overview
The Pony Express AC Vector cart is the top end of the EK Tech motorized platform cart range, built for plants that need to walk die sets, coils, fixtures, and machine bases weighing up to 30,000 lb across the floor without a forklift. Where the smaller Pony Express carts use DC drives, this line runs a 1.7 kW 48 VDC bus with 3 phase AC Vector Power drive, so full torque is available across the whole speed band and the operator can creep a fifteen ton load at 0.1 mph with real precision.
Steering is fully electronic. The steer by wire system swings the drive wheel 90 degrees left or right, which lets the cart turn around in roughly its own length and removes the hydraulic steering components that usually need maintenance on machines this size. Braking is regenerative, so the AC ReGen system pushes kinetic energy back into the battery pack every time the cart slows down and stretches the interval between charges.
Power comes from cradled battery packs in either AGM or lithium iron phosphate chemistry, sized from 100 to 360 Ah. The cradle design means a depleted pack can be lifted out and a fresh one dropped in, which keeps the cart working through multi shift operations instead of sitting on a charger. An onboard monitor shows state of charge, consumed amp hours, and pack voltage, and a Bluetooth app mirrors it all on a smartphone.
The standard usable deck is 36 by 62 inches on a welded steel chassis that EK Tech validates with finite element analysis, and custom deck sizes and tops are available for odd shaped loads. Every AC Vector cart is configured to order, so pricing is by quote.

Accessories
The most useful companion for this cart is the external charging station, which lets a spare battery pack charge while the cart keeps working on its installed pack. Spare cradled AGM or lithium packs are available for true hot swap rotation, and custom deck tops can be fitted for specific tooling or product shapes. Because these carts are configured to order, EK Tech can also quote application specific additions during the engineering review.
How to Purchase & What's Included
How do I get a price for the AC Vector 10K-30K?
We sell the AC Vector 10K-30K on a quote basis so we can pair you with the right configuration and the best available price. Call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 or use our contact form and we will have a quote back to you the same business day in most cases.
Does Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance help pay for the AC Vector 10K-30K?
Most products in this range do not meet the strict medical device rules that Medicare and Medicaid use, so they rarely qualify for coverage. We do not work with Medicare and we do not bill private insurance directly.
Some private plans will reimburse you outside of the Medicare framework. The best way to find out is to call your insurer and ask. If they say yes, we are happy to provide an invoice and proof of purchase so you can file for reimbursement.
Notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Medicare pays for equipment only when the supplier has a Medicare supplier number. Heavy Duty Mobility does not have one, so Medicare will not pay for anything we sell you. You are personally and fully responsible for payment.
Shipping, Warranty & Returns
Shipping
How long until my AC Vector 10K-30K arrives?
Orders typically leave the warehouse within one to three business days. Once on the way, expect a transit time of around three to seven business days depending on your distance from the warehouse.
The stock status sits just under the product title near the top of this page. If it shows a lead time, the ship out window is that lead time plus the normal transit time above.
Will I get tracking?
Yes. As soon as your order ships we email you a tracking link so you can follow it all the way to your door.
Warranty
What warranty comes with the AC Vector 10K-30K?
EK Tech backs the AC Vector 10K-30K with a manufacturer limited warranty. The exact coverage terms for this model are listed in the Specifications tab and the product documentation. Normal wear items and damage from misuse or accidents are excluded, as with all manufacturer warranties.
If something goes wrong, reach out to us first. We can often sort out a fix over the phone or ship a replacement part. Contact us and we will help.
Returns
Can I return the AC Vector 10K-30K?
Yes, returns are possible. Please read the full returns policy for the details.
Documentation, Manuals & Safety
EK Tech publishes the AC Vector cart specification set on its motorized platform cart pages and supplies full operator documentation with each configured build. We can send the current spec sheet with your quote.
Rated capacity applies to a properly positioned load on the deck. Keep loads centered and secured.
The electromagnetic parking brake holds the cart automatically when it is stopped.
The chassis carries an IP44 ingress rating and runs in temperatures from minus 40 to 158 F, while charging should happen between minus 9 and 140 F.
Visual and audible battery alerts tell the operator when it is time to recharge. Do not run packs past the alert point.
Operators should be trained on steer by wire behavior before moving heavy loads in tight aisles.
Daily Operation & Transportation
Daily use is walk behind and simple. The operator drives from a tiller style handle with two speed ranges, a low band of 0.1 to 1.5 mph for precise positioning and a high band up to 3 mph for longer runs. Steer by wire keeps steering effort near zero even with a full load, which protects operators from the strain injuries common with manual die carts.
Charging happens through the internally mounted charger from a 120 or 240 VAC single phase outlet. Facilities running multiple shifts usually add the external charging station and a second battery pack, then rotate packs through the cradle so the cart never waits on a charger. The regenerative braking system feeds energy back into the pack during every stop, and the onboard monitor plus the Bluetooth app make pack health easy to track.
This is a facility machine, not a folding transport product. It rolls on its own wheels between buildings on hard surfaces, stores indoors, and needs no fuel, hydraulic fluid, or scheduled steering maintenance.
Common Questions
How much weight can the AC Vector platform cart move
The line covers configured builds from 10,000 lb up to 30,000 lb of load on the deck. Every build is checked with finite element analysis at its rated capacity. If you need even more payload or rail guidance, EK Tech transfer carts pick up where this line ends.
How much does it cost
EK Tech prices these carts by quote because capacity tier, deck size, and battery package all change the build. Call us with your load details and we will return a firm quote with the right configuration.
Should I choose AGM or lithium batteries
AGM packs in 100 to 300 Ah cost less and suit single shift use. Lithium iron phosphate packs in 120 to 360 Ah run longer, charge faster, and handle multi shift duty better. Both are cradled for easy removal and hot swapping.
What makes steer by wire worth having on a cart this heavy
The drive wheel swings a full 90 degrees each way, so the cart turns around in roughly its own length. Steering effort stays near zero with a full load, which reduces operator fatigue and strain injuries, and there are no hydraulic steering components to maintain.
Can the deck be customized for my load
Yes. The standard usable deck is 36 inches wide by 62 inches long, and EK Tech offers custom deck sizes and custom tops for dies, coils, and fixtured loads as part of the factory quote.
How does charging work in a multi shift plant
The standard charger is mounted inside the cart and plugs into a 120 or 240 VAC single phase outlet. For around the clock operations, add the external charging station and a spare pack, then swap packs in the cradle so the cart never sits idle. Regenerative braking also returns energy to the pack during every stop.
Is this cart made in the USA
Yes. EK Tech engineers and builds its Pony Express carts and tuggers in Wisconsin and supports them domestically.

Great Experience!
Super helpful team in helping us make a decision. We needed a scooter that we could modify to carry our 2 Jack Russell’s at trials. This scooter worked out perfectly. Please let them help you. I’m sure there are bigger companies, but I felt we got such personal attention. It was an amazing experience. Delivery was just a few days. Remarkable!

Auto Fold
I needed a mobility scooter that was auto-folding, but not overly engineered where problems can arise, was not too heavy to lift by myself, would easily fit in the trunk of my car, and not be overly expensive. Wishful thinking I thought. Until I discovered the MOJO on my computer. This scooter ticked all my boxes, and more. It is comfortable, well built, is easy to charge the batteries without having to bend down to remove them, and even if you do want to remove them they are accessible from the standing position. the tiller is fully adjustable as are the arm rests, the folding/unfolding functions are easily initiated, and the axle release is easily achieved. A well engineered piece of kit. Now, for the customer service: I can honestly say that I have never come across anything like it; it is absolutely perfect. The gentleman I dealt with 'bent over backwards' to help me without pressuring me into a purchase, and to ensure I was buying a scooter that was right for me. Because I live in New Zealand I knew I was creating a lot more work for him, but he never complained. This and my MOJO are very much appreciated. I am very thankful for the day I first saw the MOJO on the internet. I I now own my very own MOJO.

We are so pleased with the Scoota Trailer we ordered through Heavy Duty Mobility. We dealt with Raphael who could not have be nicer and more helpful. He stayed in close contact letting me know when the manufacturer received the order, when it was complete and when it shipped. The customer service was second to none. It was obvious in all communications with Raphael that he genuinely cared that our son's needs were met with this trailer for his new powerchair. I highly recommend going through Heavy Duty Mobility when ordering equipment for yourself or your handicapped loved ones.

Heavy Duty Mobility did a fine Job.
Heavy Duty Mobility did a fine Job matching me up with the besr mobility scooter to meet my needs. The Afikim S-3 is a high quality piece of equipment. It operates as advertised. It maintains it's speed while ascending the hills in the small town, where I live. Heavy Duty Mobility was by my side throughout the entire purchase process. Even after I took delivery of the fine S-3 scooter and needed to have questions answered about the machine. Jon Fisher Cedarville, MI

I was looking for a scooter for my mother. I researched it online and found some sites that were selling the scooter for the same price. Heavy duty mobility was willing to beat the price as they had a 5% discount. They were also. Extremely kind and helpful. They answered all my questions and what they did not know. They contacted the company to find out and got back to me the same day. They kept me in the loop with shipping and also reached out to me to confirm receipt and to make sure everything was correct and working properly. Very impressed

Top shelf, customer service,
Found the type of Scooter. I wanted to buy online not everyone has the kind of scooter. I have . Talked to Raphael Perlmann about the scooter I wanted. I was a little hesitant at first because they were from Florida. After talking to Raphael I felt a much more comfortable about the idea of having a scooter shipped all across the country am in Seattle WA.
The scooter arrived,in shipping and had a torn seat. Ops Raphael took care of the problem got me a new seat ASP negotiated with the makers of my scooter.for me.
Couple months into having my scooter. I had an issue with the wheel making a noise..
Called my dealer Raphael he worked tirelessly negotiating with the maker of the Scooter to make sure the issue got fixed .
Would’ve loved not to have any issues with my new scooter, but knowing Raphael was on my side, helping me anytime there was an issue to get the problem fixed was a huge blessing.
Raphael Perlmann Has restored my faith in Customer service .
So many companies sell your product and then they don’t care they got their money !
Not that way at heavy mobility scooters store .
I have seen that this company and Raphael Perlmann cares about their customers after the sell.
I will recommend to my mother and any other family member, and friend to order a scooter from Raphael Perlmann ..:
His care and consideration for me and my Scooter has definitely restored my faith and Customer service .
The quality of customer service I receive from him is a wonderful change from the type of customer service I get from businesses I work with and give money to every month .
Other companies couldn’t learn something from this man and heavy mobility Scooter about Customer service .
Thank you
Raphael Perlmann For the caring you show your customers .
Top shelf customer service .

They are very professional, they listen to what you would like to have, and they may make suggestions, but the decisions are up to you.
The person I talked with was very professional.
He knew what products I may like, but in the end it was my choice of what to buy, or not buy.
There was no pressure, just suggestions I appreciate people who don't pressure you into buying something.
