Vehicle Type: Rising demand for automated guided vehicles across industrial settings

Aisle & forklift trucks are essential in warehouses and storage facilities, primarily for lifting and moving goods over short distances. They navigate narrow aisles and lift objects to various heights, making them indispensable for inventory management and material handling. AGVs represent the integration of technology and material handling, as these are self-guided vehicles that follow pre-set pathways to move materials around a facility. They reduce the need for human intervention in material transport, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing errors. Container handlers are heavy-duty vehicles that load, unload, and stack shipping containers at ports, rail yards, and container storage facilities. Their robust construction and powerful lifting capabilities make them crucial for global trade logistics. Industrial trailers are versatile vehicles that transport materials and goods within a complex or between short distances outside. They come in various sizes and configurations, including flatbeds and enclosed trailers, to cater to different loads. Tow tractors are designed to pull loads behind them. They are commonly used in airports for baggage handling, manufacturing plants for moving parts and assemblies, and in any other environment where materials need to be moved efficiently from one point to another. Utility & personnel carriers Vehicles: These vehicles are designed to transport people, tools, and small equipment within extensive facilities or job sites. They are invaluable for enhancing mobility and efficiency in large industrial complexes, offering a convenient way to move personnel and light loads over short distances.
