Project Introduction

This goods lift is designed for integration with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in unmanned warehouses, enabling efficient transportation of goods.

AGV Operation: The AGV automatically retrieves goods and, after loading, navigates directly into the lift.
Fully Automated Process: Once the AGV enters, the lift door automatically closes, facilitating transport without any human intervention. Operators can manage the system from their office, allowing them to retrieve goods and send them to the loading dock seamlessly.
Cabin and Fast PVC Door: The lift is equipped with a cabin and a quick-acting PVC door to enhance operational efficiency.
Communication Protocol: The system operates on a communication protocol. When the AGV arrives, it sends a signal to the lift platform to open the door. After the AGV enters, it sends another signal to close the door. Once the door is closed, the AGV receives a signal to initiate the lifting process, ensuring synchronized operation between the AGV and the lift.

This automated solution significantly enhances the efficiency of warehouse operations, allowing for streamlined goods handling without the need for manual labor.

Safety Features

Feature	Description
Emergency Protection	Equipped with an emergency stop function to ensure the device does not cause secondary accidents in case of unexpected situations during operation.
Overload Protection	The power system (pump station) features an overload self-locking function. If the load exceeds the rated capacity, the self-locking function activates, preventing the device from rising to avoid accidents caused by excessive loading.
Emergency Descent	Manual descent device available in the event of power loss or malfunction.
Cylinder Protection	A locking device at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder engages if the hydraulic hose breaks during operation, preventing rapid descent of the cylinder.
