Creform’s BST AGV drive units follow a magnetic tape guidepath and function as automated tuggers, eliminating the need for manned delivery vehicles. The unit drives under a stationary cart equipped with a BST hitch, extends a tow pin into the hitch and delivers the cart to a designated work area. It then retracts the tow pin and moves out to pick up another cart. One BST AGV drive unit can service a fleet of carts.

Features include an easily accessible lever for manual engage/disengage of the drive wheel; a drive chain cover for added safety; a battery tray for faster battery changeouts; low-rolling resistance casters; an obstacle sensor with 180° sensing angle; and an up-front accessible sound volume control.
