Automated Guided Carts
These are small, compact AGVs designed for carrying lighter loads within confined spaces, such as hospitals and laboratories. They can also be utilized in warehouses to provide movement of larger SKU assortments throughout the warehouse.
Towing AGVs - Tuggers
Towing AGVs are ideal for pulling multiple carts or trailers, making them valuable for industries with frequent material transport needs. These are robust solutions that can handle larger loads and even be utilized for pallet movements.
Unit Load Vehicles
Unit load AGVs are capable of handling large, uniform loads, making them a common sight in warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Forklift Trucks
AGV forklifts mimic the functionality of traditional forklifts but operate autonomously, making them crucial in material handling tasks.
Pallet Trucks
AGV pallet trucks are designed for easy handling of palletized goods, making them a staple in distribution centers.
Hybrid Vehicles
Hybrid AGVs combine the best of different AGV types, offering versatility in handling various loads and tasks.
Heavy Load AGVs
When it comes to handling heavy loads, heavy load AGVs are your go-to choice. Industries like metalworking and automotive production rely on these robust machines.
Light Load AGVs
These agile AGVs are perfect for applications where speed and precision are paramount, like electronic assembly lines.
Assembly Line Vehicles
Assembly line AGVs contribute to the efficient flow of materials and products along production lines, reducing human error.
Autonomous Mobile Robots
Although distinct from traditional AGVs, autonomous mobile robots are worth mentioning. They excel in flexible applications, adapting to various tasks and environments. These robots are more advanced than traditional AGVs by utilizing sensors, cameras, and mapping technology to adapt to their environment. They are typically more expensive, so careful analysis should be used to determine the viability of this solution for your business.
