Forked Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Forked AGVs are an extremely popular class of automatic guided vehicle because of their versatility and flexibility.
Forked AGVs can handle many types of loads including pallets, racks, trays, rolls, and carts and can interface with many types of equipment including conveyors, racking, and stands in addition to floor "pickups" and "drops".
Because forked AGVs can handle so many different loads and can interface with varied types of plant equipment, these AGVs are an excellent solution for applications where changes to the facility are expected during the life of the AGV system. These AGVs can easily be reconfigured to handle new and/or additional tasks.
Load movement on forked AGVs is available with either hydraulic or electric actuators to maximize speed and accuracy. Load movements include raise, lower, reach, tilt, and fork width adjustment. Forked AGVs can also be equipped with fork tip sensors to confirm fork pocket openings, and fork tip bumpers to prevent improper pickup or damaged pallets.
FMC Technologies is the leading supplier of forked AGVs and offers a variety of forked vehicle types . These different forked AGV types include the outrigger or straddle fork, reach fork, pantograph, side reach fork, counterbalance, compact fork, forkover, narrow aisle, telefork, and the HyBot or Walkie AGV. These are some of the standard fork lift AGV platforms which can easily be customized for special load sizes and dimensions or other special handling requirements.

AGV
This system transports goods loaded manually or automatically to a designated place without the intervention of a human and unloads them manually or automatically. It is mostly operated with a storage battery and carries out transportation through the guide of transducer.

Fork style vehicles provide the flexibility for picking and depositing loads to a variety of station types and elevations. Fork vehicles can interface with conveyors, load stands, racking and floor locations.
Many fork applications call for the pickup and transport of loads from a warehouse operation to shipping docks. “Deep Lane” staging of the loads by AGVs provides an efficient operation with minimal floor space. With this operation a loaded fork vehicle enters a floor lane and deposits the load by detecting the last pallet stored in that lane.
In other applications, fork vehicles provide inventory management by storing and retrieving loads within a rack structure. With lift capability to 20 feet, fork vehicles provide an ideal solution for workin- process buffers or servicing all aspects of a production facility or warehouse.

The GP8 robotic pallet truck is a vision-guided industrial mobile robot designed to free up skilled employees by taking care of non value added work.
The vast majority of goods are moved on pallets within distribution centers and manufacturing operations. The GP8 from Seegrid automates the long-haul transport of pallets. An operator simply positions the GP8's forks under the pallets. The GP8 does the rest. The robot transports the pallets to the assigned location, then automatically positions the pallets and returns to the original starting point (or another pre-assigned location) for more work.
The GP8 delivers an affordable, reliable transport and delivery automation solution. The vehicle offers a clear ROI by boosting productivity and allowing workers to focus on higher value tasks in your facility.

BT Autopilot LAE240
Many companies can reach the automation of the process of handling. The single concept Autopilot BT allows easy operations without driver for the repetitive movements of goods. Practical to install and modify, Autopilot BT increases the productivity and is economic.
Stacking machines BT LAE are semi-automatic models also usable manually. Autopilot uses the technology of guidance by laser which thanks to a simple system of training, creates routes.
In fact, an operator leads the carriage on the desired route. The carriage progressively records the course thanks to reflectors placed strategically in the warehouse which identify its position. New routes or stations of waiting can be added or modified quickly and simply constantly. Guidance by laser associated with the method of training offer to the companies a simple and flexible system. It also brings an economic solution and an answer to the needs for repetitive handling of the goods on long distances.
Carriages LAE are perfect for warehouses where the same routes are borrowed regularly, such as for example the delivery of parts since the warehouse to the production lines or between conveyers. Thus the drivers (who represent a considerable cost) can work with more specific tasks. The multipost applications will profit more particularly from significant cost reductions.
Options: System of remote control to 112 stations, controls traffic from 2 to 10 carriages (to be used jointly with the system of remote control).
Maximum capacity of lifting 2400 kg, choice between battery 480 Ah or 600 Ah, folding platform for driver.

Tug/Tow Automatic Guided Vehicles
Tug / Tow Vehicle automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are the most productive form of automated guided vehicle (AGV) for tugging and towing because they haul more loads per trip than other AGV types.
These tug vehicle style AGVs are sometimes referred to as "Tuggers",because they are designed to pull wheeled carts (typically 3 at a time) which can be loaded and unloaded with material automatically or manually. A forked AGV can be used to automatically load the carts. Many tuggers do not operate in reverse and instead operate in either a loop or they have turnaround loops at any end points of the AGV road system.
These tuggers can be equipped with several different hitch types including ball, pin, or automatic hitch. Ball or pin type hitches are used when the carts rarely need to be decoupled from the tow vehicle AGV. Automatic hitches maximize utilization of the AGV when the material on the carts requires further processing or handling upon delivery.
Other examples requiring automatic hitching include applications where carts are only moved on a one way trip or when full carts are delivered and empty carts are removed. Automatic hitches disengage to decouple a set of carts from the AGV after it has made the required delivery. They can also engage to couple a set of carts to allow those carts to be automatically delivered by the Tuggers.
Tugger AGVs are available in several different towing capacities and can even be equipped with an operator station for cases where customers may desire occasional man-aboard operation.
