World Leading AGV Electric Tugger & Tows
Drive ROI, safety and operational efficiency with an AGV system
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV System) have the ability to be transformational when it comes to driving operational efficiency within industrial manufacturing. Featuring best-in-class navigation and safety technologies, AGV systems remove the need for human operation, carrying out movement of products, equipment and materials on time, every time.
This not only makes the operation more efficient but protects your people from the stresses and injuries associated with manual handling, or higher risk load moving solutions. Furthermore, it also means your people can focus on tasks of greater value, driving additional ROI and efficiency.

An AGV System built to supercharge your processes

Increased Return on Investment
AGV systems deliver greater ROI through increased efficiency and safety, better use of people resources, less risk of mechanical failure and greater flexibility.

Maximum Safety Built-In
With in-built safety systems, environmental scanners, and optimum surrounding awareness – increased safety comes as standard.

Efficiency Supercharged
Drive operational efficiency by carrying out tasks on time and at the optimal speed. Enjoy flexible layouts without the constraints of fixed infrastructure.

Scalable Pulling Power
Our AGV solutions are available with a capacity up to 66,000 lbs., enabling automated movement of even the heaviest of loads.
Delivering return on investment
An AGV system can reach an ROI of between 50% and 150% when used for a single-shift over 3 years.
This can be dramatically increased to over 600% when the machine is used as part of a three-shift operation over a 5-year period.

Maximizing safety for people and operating environments
AGV systems ensure safety as standard, continually monitoring the operating environment, detecting hazards and taking the appropriate action to keep people and equipment safe.

An AGV system that fits your application
Regardless of your current phase, we understand that switching to an AGV system is an investment, even if it is one that will inevitably deliver increased ROI, efficiency and safety. Our skilled and experienced team is here to guide you with our tried and tested approach.
Our 5-step process:

The right machine for you
First, we put time into understanding your application to help decide whether an existing product is the right fit, or whether a custom AGV design would offer better performance.

The right navigation for your site
We’ll explore which navigation system will work best, whether that be floor-based navigation (e.g. line following) or full natural navigation.

The right dispatch commands
Next, our team will look at how the AGV gets its instruction to move or ‘pulse’ to the next location, whether that be through a simple press of a button or a system driven command.

Integration with your systems
Then, we’ll look at where other system integrations are needed. These could include a Warehouse Management System or an Enterprise Resource Management platform, or infrastructure such as doors and traffic lights.

Optimize your safety systems
Depending on the environment and application, identifying the right safety systems is key, to ensure people, loads and the operating environment are protected.

Answering your AGV system questions
What is natural navigation?
Natural navigation requires no external infrastructure. Using sensors, the AGV maps its surrounding, during training, resulting in no need to reconstruct warehouse or production environments.
What happens if the AGV system encounters an obstacle?
Our AGV integrates sensors and various components that receive, process and analyse data in real time and act accordingly. When an autonomous guided vehicle encounters an obstacle on its route, such as a pallet or person, it will stop if it detects that it could harm the operators.
How will automation affect my employees?
AGV perfectly complements your existing workforce. AGVs do the heavy manual work, Removing or reducing the need for your staff to move materials, allowing your people to spend more time doing greater-value tasks.
How does an AGV know where to go?
Our AGV navigation technologies include:
- Line follow: A painted or magnetic line on the floor.
- The AGV follows only the painted or magnetic line (including markers to tell it where to stop or change direction).
- Natural: A navigation that requires no external infrastructure.
- The AGV maps its surroundings using sensors during training runs, and stores the data onboard.
Can it work outside?
Our AGVs, unlike others, are built to operate indoors, outdoors, on slopes, uneven terrain and even in the rain, ensuring production and manufacturing processes can reduce downtime with autonomous load moving between buildings.
How fast can an AGV system travel?
MasterMover AGVs travel up to 2.5m per second, even with heavier loads. AGVs are capable of adapting to the surrounding environment, slowing down at certain points i.e. through high pedestrian areas and then speeding up when necessary.
