AGV Carts
Electric transfer carts are heavy-duty short-distance material handling equipment designed specifically for industrial settings, suitable for workshops, warehouses, and production lines. The products boast excellent load-bearing capacity (1-300 tons), support multiple power supply methods including low-voltage rails, batteries, and cable reels, and operate stably (speed ≤25m/min). We offer various types, including rail-mounted, trackless, and fully automatic AGVs/RGVs, all with customizable platform sizes and safety configurations. We provide reliable and efficient solutions to optimize your factory logistics and improve operational efficiency.
The system lays three insulated conductive rails on the ground. It then steps 380V industrial electricity down to a safe voltage (e.g., 36V/72V) and transmits it to the rails. The flatbed car draws power from the rails via a power-taking device (carbon brushes).
Advantages: Safe voltage, can operate 24 hours a day without interruption, long operating distance, low operating cost.
Applicable Scenarios: Suitable for indoor environments such as workshops and warehouses with fixed transportation routes, high workload, and high operating frequency.
Principle: The flatbed cart is powered by a built-in battery pack (lead-acid/lithium battery).
Advantages: Highly maneuverable, not limited by tracks or cables, and has minimal impact on other ground operations.
Suitable Scenarios: For locations with variable transport routes, cross-workshop operations, outdoor locations, or sites requiring track insulation. Disadvantages: Requires regular charging, and batteries have a limited lifespan.
Principle: The flatbed car is connected to an external power source via a cable. The cable reel on the car moves with the vehicle, automatically winding and unwinding the cable.
Advantages: Stable power supply, strong power, and relatively low manufacturing cost.
Applicable Scenarios: Long operating distances, requiring stable power on straight or curved tracks. Disadvantages: Risk of cable wear and damage from being run over.
Principle: A safety contact line is installed on a column or factory roof frame on one side of the track. The flat car draws power by contacting the contact line through a current collector (collector).
Advantages: Combines the continuity of track power supply with the simplicity of cable reels, making maintenance convenient.
Applicable Scenarios: Situations with complex ground environments (such as water accumulation or oil stains) or where laying power supply tracks on the ground is unsuitable.
Principle: Similar to the cable reel type, but the cable is dragged via a suspended rail system, avoiding friction with the ground.
Advantages: Safer than ground-dragging cables, longer cable life.
Suitable Scenarios: Fixed routes where ground cleanliness and cable protection are critical.
1.Tracked electric transfer cart
Requires fixed steel rails laid on the ground, and the flatbed carts run on these rails.
Advantages: Good guidance, smooth operation, and extremely high load-bearing capacity.
Disadvantages: High installation cost, and the route cannot be changed.
2. Trackless Electric Transfer Cart
Requires no tracks and moves freely on flat ground using tires. Typically battery-powered, it can move forward, backward, turn left and right, and rotate 360°.
Advantages: Extremely flexible routes, no need for tracks, easy to modify.
Disadvantages: Requires a high degree of ground flatness; load-bearing capacity is generally lower than comparable tracked flatbed carts.
RGV is an automated form of rail-guided electric flatcar, designed specifically for high-intensity transport along fixed paths. Based on mature rail technology, it integrates a central control system to achieve precise command control and equipment linkage.
Core Advantages:
Fixed Path, High Efficiency: Relying on pre-set tracks, it boasts extremely high operating speed and repeatability.
High System Integration: Seamlessly connects to automated production lines and automated warehouses, acting as a "high-speed transport link."
Applications: Automated warehouse aisle stacking, assembly line material shuttles, and point-to-point transfers between large production lines.
2. AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle)
AGVs combine the flexibility of trackless flatbed vehicles with advanced navigation technology to achieve fully intelligent "unmanned driving."
Core Advantages:
Flexible Paths, Intelligent Navigation: Utilizing advanced technologies such as laser/SLAM, it can plan and adjust the optimal path in real time according to the task.
Highly Intelligent, Safe and Reliable: Built-in intelligent control system and multiple sensors enable autonomous obstacle avoidance and complex scheduling.
Modifying only the software map and tasks enables flexible production changes without altering ground facilities, delivering a high return on investment.
Applications: Material delivery for complex processes, flexible manufacturing production lines, intelligent warehousing, etc.
