Top Six Global Manufacturers Of Car-Bottom Forging Furnaces

Sep 22, 2026

Car-Bottom Forging Furnace, also known as bogie hearth forging furnace, is a batch-type industrial heating equipment. Its furnace bottom is a movable trolley travelling on rails. Workpieces can be loaded onto the trolley outside the furnace by overhead cranes or forklifts. The trolley moves into the chamber for high-temperature heating of forging billets and rolls out after heating, greatly simplifying loading and unloading of heavy and oversized forgings.

This furnace is widely applied in heavy industry, wind power, pressure vessel, construction machinery and aerospace forging sectors. It supports multiple heating media including electricity, natural gas, coal gas and fuel oil. Equipped with regenerative combustion system, full-fiber energy-saving lining and PLC intelligent temperature control, it ensures uniform temperature distribution inside the chamber and reduces energy consumption, serving as core equipment for large forging workshops.
