Less Scrubbing and Friction Increase AGV Efficiency in both Payloads and Battery Performance

• Reduced binding and friction create less strain on the drive train/battery
• Casters designed to support loads from 1,500 to 250,000 lbs
• Swivel-on-Swivel technology/independently rotating wheels for smoother movement

Smoother Movement Means Precise Tracking and Less Chance to Fault

• Swivel-on-Swivel technology moves AGVs easier for fewer faults
• Smoother reversing movements and easier omnidirectional maneuvering
• High rollability of AGV casters ensures better tracking

AGV Casters Work Efficiently to Optimize Battery Efficiency

• Extended battery runtime = higher productivity
• Reduced binding and friction with floor
• Better moving/maneuvering of heavy loads

• Dual wheel bearings increase load capacity up to 20,000 lbs.
• Even distribution of load and longer life in continuous-use applications
• Better maneuverability helps reduce AGV battery drain

• Dual Swivel Section Minimizes Castering Effect
• Absorbs shocks, resulting in smoother movement
• Enhanced Maneuverability Lowers Push/Pull Force
• Dumbbell Configuration Increases Load Capacity

• Dual Swivel Sections Transfer Energy, Reduce Turning Force.
• Swivel-on-Swivel Decreases Faults by Reducing Shifting
• Innovative Design Reduces Castering Effect
• Less Caster Friction to Extend Battery Runtime

A challenge for an exploration company was lowering the force required to move conventional swivel casters during directional shifts, which was burdening the entire drive system.

An airplane manufacturer converted from tuggers to automated guided vehicles (AGV) to move large work platforms. This move increased push force, which impacted the performance of the AGVs by reducing speed and battery life.

A Tesla plant needed to safely transport a 6,500-lb. roll of material from the staging area into the production line. It demanded precise alignment with the feeding machines, which required a custom-engineered solution.
