LIFT & TRANSFER

LIFT & TRANSFER
RAISE
Vertical

Mast-driven precision lifting to 4.8 m bridges conveyors, racks and mezzanines, eliminating manual transfers between equipment.

How It Works

Approach

Approach

AGV docks to the source conveyor, rack or mezzanine, aligning to sub-centimetre tolerances.

Align

Align

Sensors verify load orientation and confirm receiving station is clear and ready.

Raise

Raise

Mast lifts the load to the target height with stabilised motion control for sensitive cargo.

Transfer

Transfer

Pallet or load is placed at destination and the AGV releases, returning to standby or next task.

How Lift and Transfer AGV Systems Work

Navigation Systems

Laser or guided navigation allows AGVs to move across factory layouts safely while compensating for trailer dynamics.

Fleet Management Software

Controls routing, task allocation and traffic between vehicles for optimised logistics flow.

System Integration

AGVs connect to MES, WMS and ERP systems to receive tasks and coordinate with production schedules.

Continuous Execution

Vehicles move materials across defined routes delivering to production lines on schedule.

Lift and Transfer AGV Robots

BATTALION lift and transfer AGVs combine industrial sensors, navigation systems and fleet management software to automate pallet handling in warehouses and factories.

Benefits of Lift and Transfer Automation

Eliminate Forklift Handoffs

Automate the routine equipment-to-equipment transfers that traditionally require a forklift operator.

Improve Placement Accuracy

Sub-centimetre vertical placement reduces damage to product, racks and conveyors.

Increase Operational Consistency

Provide predictable and repeatable logistics flow across all shifts.

Reduce Delays

Minimise interruptions in production supply with reliable, scheduled deliveries.

Enable Scalable Automation

Expand operations by adding additional AGVs as your business grows.

24/7 Operation Capability

Maintain consistent material transport around the clock without operator fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lift and Transfer AGVs

A lift and transfer AGV is an Automated Guided Vehicle that can both lift pallets and transport them across a warehouse or factory environment.

Pallet AGVs carry or lift loads directly while towing AGVs pull multiple loads across longer distances.

They improve consistency, reduce manual handling and increase throughput by automating repetitive pallet movement.

Yes, they integrate with WMS, MES and ERP systems, enabling coordinated automation workflows.

Industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, logistics and retail distribution benefit from these systems.

Yes, high-reach models such as APEX are specifically designed for vertical pallet stacking up to 4.8m.

They typically use laser navigation for flexible routing or guided navigation for fixed, repeatable paths.
