OMNI - the MOST VERSATILE AND FEATURE-RICH HEAVY-DUTY ELECTRIC PLATFORM CART in the Morello's lineup

OMNI is the most advanced and adaptable heavy-duty omnidirectional cart in Morello’s range of industrial platform vehicles.

This multidirectional, self-loading, battery-operated wagon is engineered to transform the handling and transportation of large and heavy loads across a wide variety of industrial applications.

Highly customizable to meet specific material handling requirements, OMNI excels in transporting dies, molds, tools, transformers, and other heavy equipment, making it the ideal solution for complex and space-constrained industrial environments.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, OMNI offers several key advantages:

SUPERIOR STEERING FLEXIBILITY

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 omnidirectional cart delivers exceptional maneuverability, even in the tightest spaces.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

OMNI significantly reduces reliance on overhead bridge cranes by operating as a fully self-sufficient transport solution. Its integrated self-loading platform enables efficient lifting and transfer of loads, streamlining internal logistics and improving overall workflow efficiency.

BUILT FOR EVERY LOAD AND EVERY SPACE

Thanks to its modular design and load capacities exceeding 500 tons per cart, OMNI is equally effective at transporting compact or oversized loads. It is particularly well suited for die handling applications, where its agility and precise control make it ideal for narrow aisles and restricted pathways.

READY FOR ANY ENVIRONMENT

OMNI operates silently and with zero emissions, 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. This robust omnidirectional battery-operated wagon can also be engineered for hazardous or explosive environments, ensuring safe and reliable operation in petrochemical plants, mines, paint booths, and offshore platforms.

ADAPTABLE TO ALL SURFACES

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

  • Hydraulic suspension systems
  • Mechanically oscillating wheel units
  • A wide range of wheel configurations

These features ensure optimal load distribution and stability, even on uneven or irregular surfaces. The modular diagrams below illustrate the available steering modes and configuration options.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

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

SMART SUPPORT AND AUTOMATION INTEGRATION

OMNI is equipped with integrated remote assistance panels, enabling fast and efficient after-sales support directly from Morello’s technical team.

For facilities moving toward automation, this omnidirectional battery-operated wagon is also available with AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) functionality. Visit our dedicated AGV section for detailed information.

EXPLOSION-PROOF CAPABILITIES

OMNI is available in explosion-proof versions compliant with ATEX and IECEx standards for Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments, making it ideal for:

  • Offshore platforms
  • Paint booths
  • Chemical plants
  • Mining operations
