The Heavy Duty Automated Guided Cart refers to an electric transfer cart with an automatic system specifically designed for handling bulk materials. The vehicle's frame is constructed from high-strength materials such as I-beams, channel steel, and thick steel plates to ensure it can support heavy loads. The wheel assembly typically consists of multiple solid rubber or polyurethane wheels, which offer high bearing capacity and excellent wear resistance, allowing the vehicle to operate effectively in various complex environments. The vehicle is powered by a battery, which does not produce harmful gases during operation and is environmentally friendly. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with safety features such as an emergency braking system and anti-collision devices to enhance the safety of the handling process.

Heavy Duty Automated Carts are designed to follow pre-defined paths or guidance systems within a facility. These paths can be determined by physical means sch as magnetic tape, wires, or optical lines, or through more sophisticated methods like laser navigation using pre-installed reflectors.
Heavy Duty Automated Guided Vehicles are equipped with sensors and safety mechanisms to detect obstacles and ensure safe operation. Common safety features include:
Lidar and Ultrasonic Sensors: These sensors detect obstacles in the Heavy Duty Cart's path and can trigger the vehicle to slow down or stop to avoid collisions.
Bumpers: Physical bumpers may trigger an emergency stop if the Heavy Duty Automated Guided Cart comes into contact with an object or person.
Emergency Stop Buttons: Manual stop buttons allow humans to immediately stop the Heavy Duty Automated Guided Vehicle if necessary.
Heavy Duty Automated Guided Carts are part of a larger automated system and communicate with a central control system to receive instructions and coordinate with other vehicles and systems. Communication can occur via:
Wi-Fi: Heavy Duty Automated Carts connect to a central control system through wireless networks to receive routing information and task assignments.
RFID Tags: Radio-frequency identification tags embedded in the floor can provide location data to Heavy Duty Automated Cart and trigger specific actions when detected.
Heavy Duty Automated Guided Carts are typically battery-powered, with electric motors providing the propulsion. Battery management is crucial, and systems are in place for charging, either through manual battery swaps, automatic charging stations, or inductive charging paths.
