AGV/forklift combo loads over-the-road trailers

摘要

Combining a standard, off-the-shelf forklift with automatic operation, the hybrid AGV provides trailer loading for manufacturing and distribution centers. The system uses advanced control and a sensor package that enables the vehicle to see and navigate in over-the-road trailers and deep floor stacks. The AGVs efficiently move pallet loads of 3,500 and 5,500 pounds to heights up to 30 feet. They interface with deep-lane floor stacking, push-back rack, drive-in rack and standard racking. Standard features include industrial lead-acid batteries, laser navigation, advanced laser safety systems, graphical touchscreen and wireless communications.
