100-ton-class ultra-low flat-mover AGV carrying core-and-coil assemblies inside a transformer plant

Transformer & Power Equipment

From bodies and active parts to dry-type units and switchgear: the heavy-load logistics of transformer manufacturing.

Producing a power transformer requires repeated heavy moves between winding, core assembly, drying, tanking and test stations. Once bodies and active parts reach hundreds of tons, these moves become the riskiest and least flexible steps in the production plan.

Heavy-duty AGV platforms remove this flow's dependency on cranes and special transport operations. Load, floor and route are reviewed together; the vehicle configuration is defined per project, and transport becomes a repeatable, controlled production process.

Typical Applications

Body and active-part transport

Transformer bodies and winding-core assemblies move between stations on ultra-low platforms.

Synchronized dual-vehicle transport

In application examples up to 600 tons, two vehicles work in sync beneath a single load (manufacturer data).

Dry-type transformers

Dry-type units up to the 150-ton class relocate safely within the production area.

Switchgear and power equipment

Sensitive equipment such as high-voltage switch assemblies moves at controlled speed with careful manoeuvring.

Repeatable station-to-station flow

Transfers toward tanking and the test line are planned to match production takt.

Bay-to-yard transfer

Wrapped active parts and bodies leave the production bay for the outdoor yard on the same platform, over ramp plates.

Elements of Controlled Transport

The pickup and drop-off method — on-deck, under-rack or lifting — is defined per project

Route geometry, aisle and door clearances are verified against the loaded sweep envelope

Floor capacity and surface condition determine the vehicle and wheel arrangement

In-place rotation and lateral movement are configured for tight-space manoeuvring needs

Safety zones, speed limits and stopping distances follow the site risk assessment

Let's Evaluate Your Project

Load details, stations, route and floor information are enough for an initial review. In a discovery discussion we clarify the need together and define the project-specific configuration with manufacturer review.
