Automated forklift
An automated forklift combines autonomous travel with fork-based pallet pickup and placement. This guide focuses on pallet-pocket detection, fork insertion and rack or stand engagement. Use the broader automated guided vehicle guide for general fleet and route selection. Start with pallet drawing pockets and condition and load mass center and overhang, then compare the complete configured system and a documented acceptance trial.

MATERIAL HANDLING
Automated tugger train
An automated tugger train tows linked trailers along planned routes. This guide focuses on unattended dispatch, station exchange and trailer-fault recovery. Use the industrial tow tractor guide for basic towing duty and operator-driven vehicle selection, then define the additional automation boundary. Start with trailer count drawings and hitch and loaded mass and restraint method, then compare the complete configured system and a documented acceptance trial.

MATERIAL HANDLING
Rail guided transfer vehicle
A rail guided transfer vehicle carries unit loads on a fixed rail route between stations. Track alignment and load-transfer geometry distinguish it from free-floor autonomous vehicles. Start with load mass dimensions support base and station heights and travel route, then compare the complete configured system and a documented acceptance trial.
