What is an

AGV Heavy Duty?

A Heavy Duty AGV is a driverless transport vehicle designed to autonomously move extremely heavy industrial loads. These vehicles are built to perform where standard AGVs or forklifts reach their limits.

With powerful electric drives and advanced navigation via lasers, GPS, and sensors, they operate safely and autonomously in demanding environments such as factories, loading docks, and industrial sites.

SEE ALL AGV TYPES

Typical features of an AGV Heavy Duty:

✅ Robust design for harsh industrial environments
✅ High lifting or towing capacity (up to 8 tonnes lifting, or 35 tonnes towing)
✅ Operates on uneven floors and outdoor terrain
✅ Autonomous navigation without floor markings
✅ Suitable for 24/7 use in heavy-duty production environment

Why choose a Heavy Duty AGV from Movanis?

Cost-efficient through series production

Our AGVs are based on standard STILL forklifts and tractors – no expensive custom mechanics, but robust series vehicles we automate ourselves. This reduces both investment and lead time.

Always operational, even in case of failure

Thanks to opportunity charging, our AGVs operate around the clock. In case of an error, manual takeover is possible. That means no downtime or dependency on a single system – maximum uptime guaranteed.

Maneuverable in every production environment

Heavy-duty power combined with compact dimensions. Our AGVs fit into narrow aisles, low areas, and tight corners – and multi-pallet handling is no problem.

Indoor and outdoor performance

Our AGVs navigate autonomously across yards, docks, and between buildings. No extra infrastructure needed – just reliable performance in all weather.

Where are Heavy Duty AGVs used?

Beverage Industry

Heavy pallets with bottles, barrels, or crates require stable and powerful transport. Our AGVs move bulk goods smoothly between production, bottling, and distribution – even on outdoor routes.

Steel Industry

Coils, plates, or bundles up to 30 tonnes are transported safely and autonomously. Our AGVs handle outdoor navigation and integrate seamlessly into rough industrial settings with dust, slopes, or variable terrain.

Automotive

Heavy parts or assembly carts are delivered automatically to production lines. The AGV keeps pace with production schedules and eliminates delays – without complex infrastructure.

Construction

From cement to plasterboard and heavy packaging: Heavy Duty AGVs ensure continuous material supply, reducing forklift traffic and improving workplace safety.

Aerospace

Speed up transfers of heavy goods from inbound to outbound. With multi-pallet handling and outdoor capability, our AGVs eliminate waiting times and streamline loading and unloading.

Logistics Hubs

Speed up transfers of heavy goods from inbound to outbound. With multi-pallet handling and outdoor capability, our AGVs eliminate waiting times and streamline loading and unloading.
