AGV handles heavy loads

Creform has designed a single-direction, 1-ton drive Tugger AGV for an automotive powertrain component manufacturer to use for moving finished goods, production parts, and supplies from the warehouse to the assembly area and to transport finished goods back from the assembly area to the warehouse.

The AGV operates in a multishift mode for heavy-duty usage. It is constructed with a heavy-duty steel base and a top structure built with rigid pipe and metal components for light weight and flexibility.

The unit can tow two carts. The hitch, affixed directly to the base, is designed to handle the rigors of industrial towing. The hitch is mounted to a plate that bolts to the frame and is easily height-adjustable with basic tools to match the height of the trailer tongue. In addition to towing, the AGV also features a utility load deck for miscellaneous boxes and supplies that can ride along with the tugger.
