Unit Load Automated Guided Vehicles |
|
Unit Load Vehicles provide the backbone for high throughput operations. These highly
maneuverable vehicles carry one or two loads at a time to facilitate the automatic transport and
load transfer to and from conveyors, stands, production equipment, monorail, palletizing cells
etc. In addition, unit load AGVs provide a perfect compliment for delivery to and from
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS).
Unit load applications in the Food and Beverage, as well as the Pharmaceutical industry, provide
timely and controlled transportation coupled with product identification and tracking — key
ingredients necessary for a fully integrated and automated material delivery system.
HK Systems’ unit load vehicles are equipped with our patented Eagle IIITM inertial guidance
technology or an advanced laser navigation system. With HK Systems AGVs, the choice of
guidance system and vehicle configurations provide more options and flexibility to match the
right vehicle to your environment.
Lift Deck
 HK Systems’ counterbalance fork AGV design
Unit load vehicles with a lift deck design provide an ideal solution for
applications where a large number of pickup and deposit stations are
utilized. Here the vehicle will drive into a station and either lift the load
from that station or deposit the load to that station. This allows for a
passive stand with no power requirements for load transfers, thus
providing a cost-effective solution.
Conveyor Deck
 HK Systems’ counterbalance fork AGV design
Unit Load vehicles with a conveyor deck are generally used when all
load transfers are to or from a stationary conveyor. The vehicle provides
the means to connect the conveyors without the physical requirements of
a conveyance system.
