Challenge

  • Platform sagging causing operational delays and safety concerns
  • Repeated leveling device failures from their previous supplier
  • High-capacity requirements (up to 10 tons) for moving finished polymer products
  • Indoor pit installation with specific spatial constraints
  • Integration needs with existing fire-rated doors and building infrastructure

Key Features

  1. Heavy-Duty Construction
  • 150H-200H steel guide rails for maximum stability
  • Reinforced platform frame using 160×80×5mm to 200×100×8mm rectangular tubing
  • 8-10mm diamond plate flooring for superior load distribution and durability
  • Heavy-duty lifting chains (1644/2044 plate chain, 4 pieces per unit)
  1. Advanced Safety Systems
  • Overload protection – Prevents operation beyond rated capacity
  • Anti-fall protection – Secondary safety mechanism
  • Diagonal balance protection – Ensures stable platform operation
  • Explosion-proof hydraulic cylinders with built-in safety valves
  • Automatic leveling system – Heavy-duty components prevent platform sagging
  1. Smart Integration
  • Hard-surface rapid roller shutters (2 per unit) installed below fire doors
  • 2-speed hydraulic system for efficient operation
  • Automatic leveling at each stop for precise loading/unloading
  • Powder-coated medium gray finish with safety warning labels
  1. Custom Engineering Solutions
  • Split platform design for easier installation in existing facilities
  • Three-sided diamond mesh enclosure for operator safety
  • Modular rail shipping for on-site assembly
  • Custom positioning to accommodate existing building structure

Solutions

Corrosion & Environmental Protection

  • All steel components (H-beam guides, rectangular tube frames) coated with high-adhesion anti-corrosion coating, meeting C4 protection standard
  • Electrical system sealed to IP66 for resistance to dust, moisture, and chemicals
  • Medium grey main body with yellow safety enclosure for high visibility
  • External mesh enclosure frame spacing < 500 mm to prevent personnel access while allowing ventilation

Precision Leveling for AGV Docking

  • Precision leveling control using proximity switches and encoders
  • Platform leveling tolerance ≤ ±1 cm
  • Eliminates steps or gaps between platform and floor
  • Ensures smooth AGV entry and exit without blockage or damage

Non-Standard Structural Design for Site Constraints

  • Platform net size 1700 × 1800 mm
  • 1700 mm drive-through access for straight-line AGV movement
  • Custom L-shaped steel platform on the second floor
    • Size: 550 × 2000 mm + 500 × 2300 mm
  • Expands second-floor robot operating area without building modification

High-Efficiency Lifting & Safety System

  • Two-speed lifting mechanism for efficient lifting over 4.5 m travel height
  • High-speed roll-up doors with anti-pinch strips and safety light curtains
  • Emergency stop buttons, overload alarm lights, and operation indicator lights
  • Modbus-TCP communication enabling AGV lift calling, door status check, and automated floor transfer
