Forklift automatic guided vehicles

Forklift AGVs are able to automatically pick up and deliver pallets, containers, rolls, carts and many other conveyable loads. Automated guided vehicles with forks are the most common type of AGVs because they are so versatile. They can pick and drop load from floor level, racks, stands and driven conveyors.

Forklift automatic guided vehicles can also handle nearly any load: pallets, skeleton containers, IBC’s, racks, tubs, boxes, rolls.

A variety of forklift applications

Forklift AGV systems are the ideal solution for warehouse and distribution areas. Thanks to their versatility forked automated guided vehicles can be used for a wide range of applications:

• moving loads from receiving to production / warehouse
• warehousing (narrow aisle, deep-lane stacking, block storage, racking)
• buffer storage
• end-of-line handling: picking from conveyors, palletisers, stretch wrappers
• trailer loading / unloading
• transport between production and warehouse

Forklift AGV models

• Narrow forklift AGV: lifting forks come over the support legs allowing the AGV to make shorter turns and to transport loads in narrow areas.
• Straddle forklift AGV: support legs are outside the load to provide better support for heavier and taller loads like racks, pallets and rolls and during higher lifting movements.
• Reach forklift AGV: the mast moves forward and backward to pick or drop loads to store pallets and other loads in warehouse racks
• Counterbalance forklift AGV: AGV equipped with extra counterweight to handle heavy loads
• Side lifting forklift AGV: AGV equipped with sideways positioned forks to store loads in warehouse racks
• Dual fork forklift AGV: AGV equipped with two pairs of forks to handle two loads simultaneously
• Automated forklift: standard forklift trucks automated with Egemin technology
