All Electric Forklift AGV

EF 2022-23 · 2022-08-01

Résumé
Development of a pure electric forklift AGV (automated guided vehicle) for safe handling and transportation of pallets within a manufacturing space. Proposed vehicle would be designed according to a modular concept, allowing for scalability of payload within the range of 1000 to 5000lbs by fine adjustment of counterbalance stacks. The lifting range is set within the limits of a single stage mast to eliminate the need for hydraulics, keeping the vehicle as an all-electric solution. The lifting stroke to be within 50”, allowing pickup from the floor, conveyor, or a single rack. The maximum mast height and hence lift stroke can be modified to suit exact customer specifications. An all-electric automatic tilt function is also planned.

Description (French)
Développement d’un chariot élévateur entièrement électrique permettant la manutention et le transport de palettes en toute sécurité dans un espace de production. Le véhicule proposé serait conçu selon un concept modulaire, permettant l’extensibilité de la charge utile dans une fourchette de 1000 à 5000 lb par un ajustement fin des piles de contrepoids. La plage de levage est fixée dans les limites d’un mât à un seul étage pour éliminer le besoin d’hydraulique, le véhicule restant une solution entièrement électrique. La course de levage ne doit pas dépasser 50 po, ce qui permet de ramasser les produits au sol, sur un convoyeur ou dans un seul rayonnage. La hauteur maximale du mât et donc la course de levage peuvent être modifiées pour répondre aux spécifications exactes du client. Une fonction d’inclinaison automatique entièrement électrique est également prévue.
