Clamp AGVs

Transporting non-palletized products requires more than standard material handling equipment. A clamp AGV securely grips loads such as paper reels, panels, and other specialized products, allowing them to be transported safely and accurately throughout a facility. At AGVR, we design clamp AGVs for applications where product protection, consistent handling, and reliable automation are essential. The result is an automated transport solution that fits seamlessly into your logistics process.

What Is a Clamp AGV?

A clamp AGV is an automated guided vehicle equipped with a clamping mechanism instead of forks. Rather than lifting pallets, the vehicle securely grips the load from the sides, allowing it to transport loads that would otherwise be difficult or unsafe to handle. This makes clamp AGVs particularly suitable for non-palletized goods, delicate materials, or products with unique dimensions. They provide accurate load positioning and consistent handling while reducing manual intervention throughout the transport process.

Clamp AGVs

Round loads

Type of clamp: reel clamp (single or double)
Maximum loading weight: up to 6 tons
Lift height: up to 8 meters

Square loads

Type of clamp: plate clamp
Maximum loading weight: up to 1000 kilograms
Lift height: up to 8 meters

Where Automated Clamping Makes a Difference

Clamp AGVs are widely used in manufacturing facilities and warehouses where goods require secure handling during transport. They automate repetitive logistics tasks while maintaining product stability from pickup to delivery.

Typical applications include:

transporting paper reels and rolls;
handling cylindrical products and drums;
moving panels, boards, and sheet materials;
transporting square or rectangular loads;
supplying production lines with raw materials;
moving products between production, storage, and shipping areas.

By automating these transport processes, clamp AGVs help create a safer, more consistent, and more efficient material flow.

Platform AGVs

Type of conveyor: chain, roller, or belt conveyor
Maximum loading weight: 2500 kilograms
Loader: side or front loader
Use: indoors and outdoors

Designed For Different Load Types

Different products require different handling methods. We develop clamp AGVs for both round loads and square loads, ensuring each solution is optimized for the shape, dimensions, and handling characteristics of the material being transported.

Round load clamps are designed for cylindrical products such as paper reels, coils, drums, and similar materials. The clamping mechanism securely grips the load while minimizing movement and reducing the risk of load damage during transport.

Square load clamps are developed for rectangular products such as panels, boards, sheet materials, and stacked loads. The clamp applies the appropriate pressure across the load, providing stable handling throughout the transport process.

Because every application is different, we customize each AGV to the product being handled, transport routes, payload requirements, and operational environment. This results in a solution that integrates seamlessly into your logistics process while ensuring reliable and safe material handling.

Why Businesses Choose Automated Clamps

Clamp AGVs provide an effective solution for handling loads that cannot be transported on standard pallets. Compared to conventional material handling methods, they offer several operational advantages:

secure handling of non-palletized products;
reduced risk of product damage during transport;
consistent and reliable load positioning;
improved workplace safety by reducing manual handling;
greater efficiency for repetitive transport tasks;
automated material flow throughout production and warehouse environments.

The exact vehicle configuration depends on the type of product, load dimensions, and operational requirements of your facility.
