Wheels for AGV
Modern automotive, intralogistics, Hospital & Health care installations are equipped with transportation robots: known as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), they are runnig 24/7. These warehouse equipment must therefore provide a durable and reliable service.
Equipped with Vulkollan® based wheels, AGVs are able to deliver a most reliable service. Thanks to their extremely high resistance to wear and their long stability, Vulkollan® elastomers provide these transportation robots with a low maintenance and long lasting solution.
