Customized solution for the secure transportation of high-value pharmaceuticals
As part of a retrofit project, our customer replaced the existing Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) with new systems. AFB’s task was to supply a telescopic fork unit with an eccentric lifting device specifically designed to meet the requirements of an AGV. This combination of telescopic fork unit and eccentric lifting device guarantees a safe and efficient transport of euro pallets with sensitive pharmaceutical products. Our design ensures maximum safety and flexibility – the transport lock is integrated directly into the eccentric lifting device to prevent the load from slipping even during movement.
Customisation for specific customer requirements
Our approach was to work closely with the customer to match the eccentric lifting device to the AGV system. In addition to adapting the hydraulic drive solution to the special requirements of transporting high-value goods, it was particularly important to integrate the device into the limited space of the AGV. In this case, precise planning and innovative design guaranteed that all requirements were met – without compromising on functionality or safety.
Housing for maximum protection and safe handling
Another focus of the project was the encapsulation of the eccentric lifting device to ensure maximum safety for operators and the environment. This design not only protects the sensitive goods, but also the people by eliminating any risk from open drive components. This has enabled us to implement a solution that meets both the high safety standards of the pharmaceutical industry and the stringent requirements for reliability and efficiency.
