Lift AGV for Conveyor Systems | Automated Lifting & Transfer Solutions

In modern intralogistics, manufacturers and warehouses are under pressure to move materials faster, safer, and with less labor. A Lift AGV—an Automated Guided Vehicle equipped with a built-in vertical lifting platform—solves these challenges by combining horizontal automated transport with precise vertical positioning.

For industries looking to automate multi-station material transfers, dock with conveyors, or handle pallets at varying heights, a Lift AGV offers a highly flexible solution that fits seamlessly into existing workflows.

How a Lift AGV Works

A Lift AGV integrates three major subsystems:
• Drive system for autonomous navigation
• Lifting module for raising and lowering loads
• Control system for coordinated interaction with external equipment

AOTENENG’s Lift AGV uses high-precision servo-driven lifting structures, ensuring smooth lifting motion, accurate height control, and consistent repeatability even under heavy loads. This allows the AGV to dock directly with conveyors, production lines, material racks, or robotic cells with minimal tolerance error.

Designed for Conveyor Integration

One of the core advantages of AOTENENG Lift AGVs is their native compatibility with conveyor systems.
By equipping the AGV with a top-mounted conveyor—roller or belt—the vehicle can automatically receive materials from a fixed conveyor station, transport them to the next process, and unload them without manual intervention.

This design makes it ideal for:
• Production line transfers
• Packaging line feeding
• Finished-goods distribution
• Pallet or bin sorting systems
• Automated warehouse docking

The combination of lifting capability and conveyor functionality makes the system extremely efficient for facilities handling repetitive, multi-height material flows.

Lift AGV – Technical Specifications

High-Accuracy Lifting for Multi-Level Scenarios

Unlike standard AGVs that can only transport at a fixed height, Lift AGVs can:
• Dock with stations at different heights
• Lift pallets from the floor
• (Optional) Perform automatic station alignment
• Load/unload directly into racks, shelving, or machines

AOTENENG’s hydraulic or servo-driven lifting systems achieve ±5 mm positioning accuracy, ensuring stable docking even when interfacing with automated conveyors or robotic equipment. This level of precision significantly reduces downtime and guarantees consistent cycle times.

Robust Structure for Heavy-Duty Operation

AOTENENG manufactures Lift AGVs with industrial-grade steel frames, high-load bearings, and reinforced lifting platforms. Depending on the application, the vehicles can be configured for:
• Light-duty handling (≤1,000 kg)
• Standard warehouse pallet handling (1–2 tons)
• Heavy-duty industrial loads (up to 10 tons or more)

Our engineering team can customize platform size, lifting stroke, conveyor type, and navigation method to ensure the AGV fits perfectly into your workflow.

Advanced Navigation Technologies

To support multi-scene operation, AOTENENG Lift AGVs are available with several navigation options:
• Laser SLAM
• QR/marker navigation
• Magnetic tape
• Hybrid navigation

Each method can be selected based on the customer’s site layout, environmental complexity, and automation level. For large and dynamic environments, laser SLAM models are recommended for their flexibility and low maintenance.

Safety Systems that Protect Equipment and People

Safety is a core element of all AOTENENG AGVs. Lift AGVs are equipped with:
• 360° LiDAR anti-collision monitoring
• Auto-braking and soft-stop algorithms
• Load stability sensors
• Emergency stop circuits
• Bumper switches and warning lights

The lifting mechanism includes additional overload protection and anti-drop locking to ensure reliable, long-term operation.

Where Lift AGVs Provide the Most Value

AOTENENG Lift AGVs are widely used across industries such as:
• Electronics and semiconductors
• Automotive manufacturing
• Food and beverage
• Home appliances
• E-commerce and distribution centers
