AGV Goods Lift for Fire Brigade | 2000kg Automated Warehouse Elevator

Project Overview

This automated goods lift is engineered for seamless integration with AGVs in unmanned warehouse environments, enabling hands-free transportation of goods. Designed for the Fire Brigade Headquarters, it supports:

AGV Autonomy: AGVs retrieve goods, enter the lift, and trigger automated door/lift operations.
Zero Human Intervention: Operators manage workflows remotely from offices.
Synchronized Protocol: AGV-lift communication ensures door control and lift activation.

The Challenge

Unmanned Efficiency: Eliminate manual handling in high-volume logistics.
AGV Integration: Synchronize lifts with AGV navigation and loading protocols.
Safety Compliance: Ensure fail-safe operations for heavy cargo (up to 2000kg).
Harsh Environment Resilience: Operate in -20°C to 60°C indoor/outdoor conditions.

Solutions

Automated AGV-Lift System

Communication Protocol: AGV signals trigger door opening/closing & lift activation.
Fast-Acting PVC Door: Accelerates loading cycles.
3-Station Docking: Flexible multi-floor access.

Robust Hydraulic Design

Zhongding Hydraulic Unit: Original system with 380V/50Hz power.
4-6 m/min Speed: Balanced efficiency and stability.

Safety Engineering

Overload Lock: Halts operation if load >2000kg.
Cylinder Lock Device: Prevents free-fall during hose rupture.
Emergency Descent: Manual valve/screw operation during power failure.

Advantages
