Wheelift, a Doerfer Company

Heavy capacity AGV systems

Based on the Wheelift technology, a new generation of heavy and ultra heavy capacity AGV Systems is emerging in the form of self-contained, gas or battery powered AGV transporters for assembly or process applications where loads of 30 tons and greater must be handled, yet provide all of the nimble characteristics of conventional lighter capacity AGV systems.

This new technology allows multiple AGVs to come together under single large loads and work in tandem when the length and/or width of the loads require.  Tandem operating AGV systems have been studied in theory, but Wheelift offers the first practical application in situations where the loads are greater than 30-tons.

Wheelift Transporters and AGVs are manufactured in Iowa and are custom engineered to application specific requirements.
