A comparison of the performance of an unmanned forklift and an AGV trolley

The future development trend of unmanned forklifts is gradually replacing manual forklift operations.

A high level of safety

Forklifts operated manually:

The fork becomes a weapon of injury

Driving a traditional forklift truck requires a high level of driver abilityrobotic forklift and physical quality. In addition, forklift operation can be intense and repetitive, causing forklift driver fatigue while driving, and if the operation is not properly performed, forks can easily strike people. Moreover, the forks of forklift trucks face forward as they drive, which obstructs the driver, creating a hidden danger while driving.

Safety hazards are caused by forks

Falling goods pose a hidden danger

The aisle at the warehouse site is narrow, storage density is high, pick-and-place difficulty is high, the driver works with experience, improper operation is easy to cause cargo fall, resulting in cargo damage and personal safety hazards.

The load of AGV trolley is relatively small, and usually adopts two-wheel differential rotation with zero turning radius, so it appears to be more flexible. Putting aside the flexibility and turning radius, the unmanned forklift truck has more advantages in terms of load and functionality. The common unmanned forklift trucks have a load of more than 2 tons, especially the pallet truck, which can be customized according to customer needs and has a larger load range. As for functionality, AGV trolley can only provide a handling function, unlike unmanned forklift trucks which have stacking, traction, handling, narrow channel three-way insertion and extraction, and forward-moving type. In terms of system integrity, unmanned forklifts are more likely to form a working closed loop with the original production system.
