New technologies are revolutionizing the way goods are managed, moved, and delivered. Logistics companies, especially those active in the e-commerce sector, are constantly seeking efficiency improvements and are increasingly looking to the world of automation. Therefore, the transition from traditional forklift material handling to AGV handling is extremely current and relevant and will transform the way industries operate. In fact, the global automated guided vehicle (AGV) market is expected to grow, reaching the size of more than 13 billion U.S. dollars in 2027 (Global AGV market size forecast | Statista).
With a long tradition of innovation and commitment to excellence, Bolzoni Group provides attachments for AGVs, engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern warehouse and distribution centres. These attachments integrate advanced technology and robust design, to ensure smooth and precise operations.
High precision fork positioning for enhanced safety
Bolzoni Group's fully electric fork positioner, designed for the automotive industry, offers precise and easy control for AGVs, enhancing manufacturing and warehousing efficiency.
Bolzoni Group attachments for AGVs are equipped with an all-electric actuator system including an integrated encoder. This advanced technology ensures reliable and repetitive movement, providing very high precision in fork positioning. The precise control offered by the electric actuator system is crucial for handling delicate or high-value loads, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring safe operations. Additionally, by eliminating the risks associated with hydraulic systems, such as oil leaks and pressure failures, Bolzoni's electric attachments make handling operations 100% safe, protecting both the AGV and the goods being transported.
Sustainability and reduced maintenance
Bolzoni Group commitment to sustainability is evident in the design of their electric attachments. By eliminating hydraulic components, the maintenance requirements are greatly reduced. This lowers the total cost of ownership and aligns with long-term sustainability goals. "The electric attachments are designed to integrate seamlessly into long-term projects aimed at reducing environmental impact," says Luigi Rebecchi, Bolzoni Group AGV Solutions specialist, and adds: "The integration of advanced attachments like Bolzoni's electric-driven trilateral head is revolutionizing material handling. These innovations, besides enhancing operational efficiency, significantly improve safety and sustainability in warehouse environments."
Bolzoni electric-driven trilateral head for AGVs
Bolzoni electric-driven trilateral head for AGV: thanks to a 180-degree head rotation it perfectly suites material handling requirements in VNA (Very Narrow Aisle).
One of the standout products in Bolzoni's range is the electric-driven trilateral head, which offers a complete 180-degree rotation. This feature is particularly beneficial in Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) environments, where space is limited, and efficient handling of the load is crucial. The electric-driven trilateral head allows AGVs to navigate tight spaces and handle loads from either side of the vehicle without the need for steering, maximizing both storage capacity and operational time.
