Battery-Powered Carts With Multidirectional Steering – OMNI

OMNI - the MULTIDIRECTIONAL CARTS for space-constrained industrial handling

OMNI is Morello’s most advanced and adaptable multidirectional battery-powered cart, designed to transform the handling and transport of large, heavy loads across a wide variety of industrial applications.

This self-loading electric platform vehicle is highly customizable and can be engineered for dies, molds, tools, transformers, and other heavy equipment. Designed and manufactured in Italy, OMNI is especially suitable for complex industrial environments where maneuvering space is limited and precise load control is essential.

As an omnidirectional cart, OMNI helps companies improve internal logistics by combining multidirectional movement, integrated lifting capability and battery-powered operation in a single heavy-duty solution.

MULTIDIRECTIONAL STEERING technology

OMNI takes its name from its defining feature: omnidirectional mobility. With multiple steering modes, including 90° rotation, carousel movement, diagonal travel, and compass-style steering, this vehicle delivers exceptional maneuverability, even in the tightest spaces.

A multidirectional steering trolley can move laterally, rotate around its own center and approach the load from different angles, helping operators manage complex transfers in narrow aisles, restricted pathways and crowded production areas.

This steering flexibility makes OMNI particularly useful in plants where standard carts cannot turn efficiently or where the layout requires precise movement around machinery, workstations and storage areas.

PRODUCTIVITY and self-loading performance

OMNI significantly reduces reliance on overhead bridge cranes by operating as a fully self-sufficient transport solution. Its integrated lifting platform enables efficient load pick-up, movement and positioning, helping streamline internal workflows and reduce downtime.

As a heavy-duty omnidirectional cart, OMNI can support applications where large components must be moved safely between production areas, maintenance zones, assembly stations or testing departments. The lifting platform also helps simplify operations that would otherwise require additional handling equipment.

OMNI APPLICATIONS in tight production lines and complex plant layouts

Thanks to its modular design and load capacities exceeding 500 tons per cart, OMNI is effective for both compact and oversized loads. It is particularly well suited to die handling applications, where agility and accurate control are essential in narrow aisles and restricted pathways.

In automotive plants, OMNI can support the movement of molds, dies, tools and other heavy components between presses, storage areas and maintenance zones. A sideways-moving industrial cart is useful in these environments because it can approach the load directly, move laterally in confined spaces and simplify positioning maneuvers.

For applications that require a standard steering configuration instead of omnidirectional movement, explore Morello’s SGAI battery-powered carts. To compare OMNI with the full product family, visit the battery-powered carts page.

Electric operation for INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

OMNI operates with zero emissions at the point of use and is powered by AC brushless motors and advanced battery technology. Its fully electric traction and steering systems eliminate the need for hydraulic components, significantly reducing maintenance requirements.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, OMNI can be equipped with:

• hydraulic suspension systems
• mechanically oscillating wheel units
• a wide range of wheel configurations

These features help ensure optimal load distribution and stability, even on uneven or irregular surfaces.

CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS, automation and hazardous areas

OMNI can be precisely tailored to operational requirements, including platform dimensions, load capacity, battery autonomy, operating speed, onboard structures, and safety devices. It delivers reliable performance in applications where standard solutions fall short.

The vehicle is equipped with integrated remote assistance panels, enabling fast and efficient after-sales support from Morello’s technical team. For facilities moving toward automation, OMNI is also available with AGV functionality. Visit the AGV automated guided carts section for detailed information.

Omnidirectional carts can also be engineered for hazardous or explosive environments. Explosion-proof versions are available in compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards for Zone 1 and Zone 2 applications, including offshore platforms, paint booths, chemical plants and mining operations.

OMNI solutions for heavy-load handling

By combining multidirectional steering, self-loading capability, electric operation and custom engineering, OMNI helps companies move heavy loads safely in demanding industrial environments.
