Motorized carts: key players in factory material handling
Progressive countries invest huge resources in modernization of national warehouse and factory logistics. This concept provides high productivity and job preservation in local warehouses and factories. Nowadays the key trends in upgrade to smart warehouse or factory robotization include flexible solutions in internal storage and modern systems of material handling.
Modern process of handling materials within industrial enterprises requires effective use of equipment in limited on-site areas. The main feature here is the use of robotic trolleys and customized transport equipment according to individual requirements for moving a specific cargo. Few companies in Europe and Asia offer extended customization of handling equipment also in line with quality standards, special automation and tuning demands. One of the companies offering advanced customization in industrial material handling remains the Italian company Morello Giovanni.
Since 1946 Morello produce wide range of motorized industrial carts, platforms, AGV-carts and trolleys tailored to work within insufficient industrial and warehouse spaces. Morello is certified according to ISO 9001 and 3834-2 to ensure high quality standards in material handling and industrial logistics.
The flagship models of the company are battery-powered trolleys SGAI and OMNI. Both models are completely customizable and Ex certifiable featuring lifting deck and remote assistance. Both specifications offer extended customization opportunities including remote control systems and automatic transportation, traction control electronics, possibility to use combination of synchronized carts, as well as a full range of on-board scanners and sensors.
Based on ultimate technical characteristics, SGAI is a universal model with mechanic compensation and lifting deck for heavy-duty material handling. While OMNI offers improved payload and maximum maneuverability using advanced hydraulic suspensions to compensate axles load and Omni-directional steering from standard 90°, diagonal up to 360° steering types. Omni model is also provided with modular design making it extremely customizable for particular material handling needs.
The use of such warehouse equipment is perfect for solving specific problems including moving of non-standard heavy-duty cargo weighing hundreds of tons, operational stability in explosive areas, functioning in extreme temperatures as well as in harsh conditions of marine climate or at altitude. Explosion-proof platform truck carts solve problem of maintenance within hazardous areas like off-shore platforms, painting rooms, mines. IECEx and ATEX solutions ensure reliable field application in oil-and-gas and mining industries.
AGV robotic trolleys with automatic control represent smart solution to deliver heavy-duty cargo to the right place without driver assistance allowing full automation of on-site material handling and logistics within industrial spaces. Such standalone solutions feature advanced integration with modern MOM systems and come with software for any kind of navigation from inductive to dGPS.
Battery powered trolleys on wheels with AC electric engines provide increase in energy efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions during production enhancing most important indicators in plant modernization.
