By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 1/1/2000

AGV Products, Inc. and Hyster Warehouse Products Group will jointly produce and market an automated tow vehicle (ATV).

The combination of Hyster's tow tractor and AGV Products' automated guidance system will provide driverless transportation of bulk loads in production and warehouse applications. The same type of vehicle is already being used in distribution centers, factory assembly floors, and automated warehouses.

ATV's can be operated in fully automatic or ride-along manual modes by turning a key switch. Options on the vehicles will include automatic hitch and unhitch, and wire, non-wire, or laser guidance methods. Tow capacities can reach up to 15,000 pounds.

For more information call AGV Products at 704-845-1110 or Hyster at 252-931-5100.
