Heavy-Duty Rail-Guided Vehicles for Industrial Material Handling


Rail-Guided Vehicles (RGVs) are widely used in American manufacturing facilities where heavy loads, fixed transport routes, and high operational reliability are required. Designed to run on dedicated rail systems, heavy-duty RGVs provide a stable, repeatable, and cost-effective solution for moving materials between production stations, warehouses, and processing areas.
Compared with free-navigation vehicles, RGV systems eliminate path deviation, reduce collision risks, and maintain consistent positioning accuracy—even under extreme load conditions. This makes them especially suitable for long-distance, high-frequency material transfer in continuous production environments.
Heavy-duty Rail-Guided Vehicles are commonly deployed across a broad range of industries, including:
Automotive manufacturing and assembly lines
Steel mills and metal fabrication plants
Wind energy and heavy equipment production
Mold, die, and tooling transfer workshops
Power generation and transformer factories
Warehouse-to-production line material transfer systems
With load capacities ranging from several tons to over 100 tons, RGVs can be customized to meet specific layout, load size, and automation requirements.
