When it comes to moving full or empty pallets around a facility – for example between warehouse and production – manually operated pallet jacks and small forklifts are two well-established solutions. However, with operator recruitment increasingly a challenge and managers looking to move existing staff onto higher value tasks, simple pallet moving is an application ripe for automation. This is where pallet truck AGVs come in.
We spoke with three leading producers of pallet truck AGVs (sometimes called pallet AGVs or pallet AMRs) and asked them everything you might need to know about investing in this technology, ranging from how these vehicles handle their loads, their maintenance requirements, how best to integrate these solutions on-site, right through to the potential ROI pallet truck AGVs can achieve. We hope you find it useful.
