40T Heavy-duty Omnidirectional AGV for Rubber Roll Transport

Rubber rolls weighing up to 40 tons, with diameters of up to 5–6 meters, pose significant challenges for safe and efficient in-plant logistics, especially in complex environments with slopes and uneven surfaces. To address this, a 40-ton heavy-duty AGV has been developed with a modular design and adjustable saddles to accommodate different roll diameters. Equipped with omnidirectional steering wheels, independent drive units, and hydraulic suspension, it ensures stable operation with strong climbing and obstacle-crossing capability. Through MES integration, operators can call and manage the AGV across multiple stations, enabling flexible, reliable, and intelligent rubber roll transport in demanding industrial environments.

Features

40t load capacity: Designed for heavy rubber rolls up to 6m diameter.
Adjustable saddle: Adapts to different roll sizes, ensuring stability.
Omnidirectional mobility: Differential steering wheels with precise maneuverability.
Independent drive & suspension: Even load distribution, smooth operation on slopes.
Advanced safety systems: Laser obstacle avoidance, collision protection, and automatic charging.
Smart control & monitoring: Real-time diagnostics and alarms via onboard touchscreen or dispatch system.
MES integration: Multi-station call and scheduling for intelligent transport management.
