Its function can be broken down into two main tasks main
* Loading / unloading of transportation: it is mostly used for loading and unloading trucks, vans and small tonnage, which could not withstand the weight of forklifts inside.
* Transport: the case of a manual manipulation means, its use is limited to the transport of some heavy handling units over shorter distances.
electric pallet
The fundamental difference between manual and electric pallet is they are equipped with an electric motor, usually above the rear wheel, which allows you to automate the translation movements and elevation.
Among the various models of pallet trucks available in the market, you could do a first distinction between:
* Pallet pedestrian power, which accompanies the operation walking the truck.
* electric ride-on pallet trucks, which have a small platform that allows the operator to mount it and move without walking.
The functions and tasks that plays an electric truck come to be the same as those of a hand pallet truck, extending its use to handling heavier weights or over longer runs.
counterbalanced forklift (Clark)
The main feature is its ability to handle heavy weights. To do this, you have a counterweight in the back, so it can handle heavy loads without tipping.
In contrast, the lifting capacity is quite limited, normally reaching up to 5-6 meters high in the handling of pallets. Also, given the volume of such trucks, the corridor width needed to maneuver between the racks is considerable, being about 3-4-5 meters.
reach truck
The main feature is that their pitchforks and horns can extend or retract the front shape, which allows, among other things, perform delicate work more accurately.
capacity lift reach trucks easily exceeds 6 meters, even up to 10 meters. With respect to the width of corridors that need to maneuver between shelves, often design and ability to fork contracciónde extraction and allowed to move smoothly into passages of 2.5 - 3 meters. Trilateral truck
The main carecterÃstica is its ability to handle loads from the left, from the right and from the front of the truck, without having to maneuver, since the forks are moving in different positions .
Lifting capacity usually reach 12-14 meters in height.
By not having to maneuver inside the corridors, the corridor width required is limited to the width of the machine itself or the load handled, usually not exceeding 1.8 - 1.9 meters.
stacker
are automated systems for material handling, which in a first classification can be differentiated between:
* Stacker, when handling pallets.
* Mini-loads, when handling small boxes.
The advantages they can offer an automated cargo handling as it can be numerous:
* Speed \u200b\u200bof movement, which can reduce response time to customers.
* Improved reliability, or what is, reduction of errors in the handling of products.
* Reduction of personnel costs, due to the elimination of human intervention in the operations.
* Optimising the physical space of the warehouse, because the lifting capacity of cranes seems limitless, and the aisle width required for each robot is around 1.2 meters. AGV
The AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) or automatic guided vehicles, also known as fiber-optic guided carts Smart Load or vehicles are equipped with a series of electromagnetic sensors capable of tracking that produces a cable buried in the ground, so that follow a preset route automatically.
Currently, in addition to the buried cable system, there are other technologies that help guide the path of the AGV. However, in all cases, their function is primarily to transport cargo from one location to a warehouse or manufacturing plant.
