Automated Guided Vehicles for Container

Technical Parameters

Product Description

OLATspreaders’s Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for container handling are self-operating transport systems that revolutionize port terminals, logistics hubs, and industrial warehouses by enabling autonomous, precise, and efficient movement of shipping containers. These driverless vehicles minimize human intervention, optimize workflows, and enhance safety, making them a cornerstone of modern smart ports and automated supply chains.

Key Features of Automated Guided Vehicles for Containers

1. Cutting-Edge Navigation Systems

AGVs leverage laser guidance, GPS, LiDAR, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), and magnetic tape for millimeter-level accuracy. Advanced AI algorithms enable real-time obstacle detection, collision avoidance, and adaptive path optimization in dynamic environments.

2. High Payload Capacity & Durability

Designed for heavy-duty operations, AGVs handle 20ft, 40ft, 45ft, and twin-lift containers with capacities up to 70+ tons. Robust construction using high-strength steel ensures reliability in harsh marine and industrial conditions.

3. Smart Integration with Port Infrastructure

Seamless synchronization with Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), quay cranes, and automated stacking cranes (ASCs).
Real-time data exchange for coordinated container movements and predictive maintenance alerts.
Compatibility with remote fleet management software for centralized control.

4. Sustainability & Energy Efficiency

Electric-powered models reduce carbon emissions and operational costs.
Automatic battery swapping stations and fast-charging systems enable 24/7 operation.
Emerging models explore hydrogen fuel cells for extended range and eco-friendliness.

5. Advanced Safety Protocols

Equipped with multi-sensor obstacle detection, emergency stop mechanisms, and anti-sway systems, AGVs operate safely alongside personnel and machinery.
