AMR/AGV Handling

Since 1990, SailRail has put its carts into a vast number of automotive plants in North America, as well as countless other applications in different industries. Every piece of SailRail equipment is proudly engineered, manufactured and assembled in North America.

AMR/AGV Handling Solutions

SailRail designs and builds the carts, transfer tops, and docking fixtures that let autonomous and tugger fleets move racks, pallets, and totes safely and repeatably. Our interfaces are platform-agnostic and configured to your payloads, coupler height, aisle widths, and pick/drop geometry.

Tunnelling Units (e.g., ABB T702)

How it works: The AMR under-rides and couples to the underside of a daughter cart, then tows it between pick/drop points.
SailRail interfaces:

  • Daughter Carts with underside receiver features and optional tow eye.

  • Special Ergo Tables (custom-designed) that accept the cart at line side for ergonomic build/pick—add-ons can include rotate tops and integrated lift tables.

  • Alignment cones, positive latches, and floor locks for fast, repeatable docking.

Platform Units (e.g., ABB P604)

How it works: The AMR has an onboard lift and carries the load directly.
SailRail interfaces:

  • Rack Stands built to the AMR’s lift height and footprint for quick P&D.

  • Guided entries, chamfered landings, and bump stops to protect racks and improve cycle time.

Tugger Units (e.g., VisionNav VNQ200)

How it works: Operate like tuggers/AGVs, pulling a train of carts via a tow bar.
SailRail interfaces:

  • Quad-Steer Tow Carts with drawbar/tow-bar couplers (auto-latch “bow-tie” options), front/rear hitches, tight-track steering, heavy-duty casters, and corner bumpers.

  • Train geometry, capacity, and turning radius engineered to your aisles and payloads.

Counterbalance / Forked Units (e.g., VisionNav VNE20 / VNR20)

How it works: Act like forklifts—lift and carry the load to receiving equipment.
SailRail interfaces:

  • Ergo Tables and Rack Stands designed as receiving fixtures with fork-pockets, impact guards, and optional floor locks.

  • Presentation features (height/tilt/rotate) for safe, ergonomic access at the workstation.
