What are the benefits of Self Propelled Trolley?
- Railguidance: RGV transporter trolley runs on a fixed track, and the track guidance ensures accurate guidance and running path.
- Automated operation: Rail transfer trolley is equipped with an automatic control system, which can autonomously perform tasks according to preset procedures and rules, such as transporting materials, semi-finished products or finished products.
- Multifunctional transportation: Electric transfer trolley can be configured with different types of carriers, such as flatbeds, shelves or pallets, to accommodate the transportation of different types and sizes of goods.
- High load capacity and operating force: RGV usually has a large load capacity and can handle the transportation of heavy goods or large quantities of materials. Rail guided vehicles run on fixed tracks and usually can achieve high-speed operation, improving the transportation efficiency of logistics and production lines. For example, the driving speed can reach 20m/min.
Where can Rail Guided Vehicle be used?
Production line: Rail transfer trolley can move materials from one place to another according to the preset route and procedure, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the production process.
Warehouse: Motorized transfer trolley can realize the fast and accurate transportation of goods. Rail transfer trolley can move goods from the shelf or storage area to the designated shipping area or processing area according to the instructions of the warehouse management system, improving the warehouse’s cargo turnover rate and management efficiency.
Logistics center: Rail guided vehicle can be used as part of the automated logistics system for the distribution and transshipment of goods. Battery powered transfer cart can move goods from one place to another according to the dispatching instructions of the logistics system, shorten the transportation time of materials and reduce logistics costs.
In addition, RGV can also be used as peripheral equipment for stereoscopic warehouses or as independent systems. In logistics systems and station production lines, such as inbound/outbound platforms, various buffer stations, conveyors, elevators, and line-side workstations, materials can be transported according to plans and instructions, significantly reducing transportation costs and improving transportation efficiency.
In general, RGV transfer carts have been widely used in many fields due to their high efficiency, safety, and reliability. For more information about self propelled trolleys, please read this article — Custom Mecanum Wheel Steerable Transfer Trolley
