Why Choose 60 Ton AGV Transfer Cart from Chinese Manufacturers for Heavy-Duty Handling?

In intelligent manufacturing, heavy-duty material handling is a key bottleneck for efficiency and safety. Reliable, efficient and safe handling solution are very important for industries with transformers and other ultra-heavy workpieces. This is the bright spot of AGV industrial robot, especially the 60-ton automatic trackless transfer vehicle. Longyu Robot is a leading 60-ton AGV robot manufacturer in China, focuses on solving the global heavy-duty handling challenges. What is this 60-ton agv transfer vehicle and why is it popular in industry? Let’s begin.

Definition: Understanding AGV Robots and Heavy-Duty AGV Transfer Carts

First of all, clarify core concepts. Per industry definitions, an agv robot (Automated Guided Vehicle) is a transport vehicle with electromagnetic/optical guidance, traveling preset paths without manual navigation, and equipped with safety protection and transfer functions. Classified by load, agv robots include heavy-duty types (load ≥ 2 tons) for large/heavy materials—exactly where the 60-ton agv transfer cart fits.

This agv transfer vehicle realizes efficient, safe and accurate material transfer through manual remote control, which significantly reducing labor intensity and operational risks. Longyu Robot Company’s 60-ton AGV transfer vehicle (model: 24286 a) is an automated trackless vehicle independently developed. Specially designed for indoor 60-ton heavy-duty handling, integrated with advanced drive, safety protection and stability control technologies. Different from the traditional manual or semi-automatic processing.

Industry Data: The Booming Demand for Heavy-Duty AGV Robots

The increasing popularity of 60-ton agv transfer vehicles is closely related to the rapid development of agv industry in the world. According to a report from China Report Hall, the global AGV market size is expected to exceed 12.8 billion US dollars in 2025, with heavy duty AGVs playing an increasingly important role in intelligent manufacturing upgrades. Specifically, in industries such as transformer manufacturing and energy storage, the demand for heavy-duty handling equipment is increasing at a rate of 25% every year, because traditional handling methods (e.g., Cranes) have disadvantages such as low efficiency and high security risks(Source: https://m.chinabgao.com/freereport/105334.html).

Another data from Jintai News shows that the domestic market size of outdoor heavy-duty AGVs has a compound annual growth rate of nearly 25% from 2021 to 2026, and Chinese manufacturers are accelerating their overseas expansion, with products being exported to Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions. This shows that the heavy agv robots made in China has gained international recognition because of its reliable performance and cost-effectiveness.

Unique Advantages of the 60 Ton AGV Transfer Cart (Model: 24286A)

Compared with other similar products on the market, the 60 ton agv transfer cart from Longyu Robotics has four core advantages, making it stand out in heavy-duty handling scenarios.

Stable and Reliable Heavy-Duty Bearing Capacity

Q235B steel is used as the main material of the cart (Q235B can be selected for special requirements). After the design of each project is completed, finite element analysis, deformation analysis and eccentric load analysis of the center of gravity are carried out to ensure the structural stability under the full load of 60 tons. The optional stress relief test further improves the reliability of the car body and enables it to cope with long-term heavy handling tasks.

Excellent driving performance and environmental adaptability

Agv transfer vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive and eight-wheel configuration, combined with differential drive technology and hydraulic suspension system, with excellent shock absorption performance, and can easily pass through small ditches and ridges in indoor workshops. It can climb slopes as high as 3, fully meets the requirements of indoor factory environment. The traveling speed under the conditions of no-load and full load is 30 m/min, which is within the recommended safe speed range for indoor heavy duty AGV (not exceeding 30) . Safety is given priority while ensuring efficiency.

Integrated security protection system

Safety is the most important thing in heavy-duty handling. This agv industrial robot is equipped with a multi-layer safety protection system, including laser obstacle avoidance sensors, contact anti-collision devices, an acousto-optic warnings and emergency stop buttons. The braking distance is ≤ 400 mm under full load and ≤ 300 mm under no load, effectively preventing collision accidents. With an IP 44 protection grade, it can adapt to the dusty and humid environment of general factories.

Durable power system with long service life

The car is powered by automotive-grade maintenance-free lithium iron phosphate batteries, and its battery life is 3 hours under full load and no load operations, which can meet the shift or production cycle requirements of most factories. Under the condition of normal use and correct maintenance, the service life of AGV can reach 10 years, which greatly reduces the long-term operating costs of enterprises.

Detailed Specifications of the 60 Ton AGV Transfer Cart

The following table gives a comprehensive overview of the technical parameters of 60-ton agv transfer vehicle (model: 24286 a) to help you better understand its performance index.

Major application scenarios

The 60-ton agv transport trolley is mainly designed for transporting transformer. Transformers is the core equipment in the power industry, with large size, heavy weight and high handling accuracy. Traditional handling methods often lead to problems such as collision damage and inefficiency of workpieces.
