| AGV Being Unloaded |

We can provide new or remanufactured Automatic Guided Vehicle
Systems (AGVS) that are simple yet very efficient at moving
products. We Remanufacture several different types of Tow
Tug vehicles (mules) which are relatively inexpensive and simple
to maintain. A vehicle of this type with trailers cost about the
same as two forklifts and has a lower maintenance cost and
doesn't require an operator. These can be very beneficial to
all types of companies who need to move loads a substantial
distance (300' or more) as once the system is put into operation
there are very minimal cost per move. This can be a considerable
benefit to a company whose profit per pallet is very small such
as with disposable or packaging items, especially those that do
not nest, like cans or plastic bottles. Using a human driven
vehicle to make these moves may cost up to a dollar per
pallet per move. While we have AGV systems moving a 1000
pallets per day for about $20.00 of electricity to recharge their
batteries. Overall a company can increase their productivity,
become more competitive in the market place and then
increase their workforce.

We currently have in stock used Barrett Fork Lift AGVs capable of carrying 2000# Loads and handling them at floor level to 48" or anywhere in between. These would work great in steady repetive load movement operations, moving items between machines or processes, unloading a palletizer, any low throughput repetitive shift after shift function. They can work at a fixed and steady rate more efficently then human operators. Think you have a possible application, call and we would be happy to discuss. The cost of such a vehicle may suprise you.
