Automated transfer carts

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION with your automated production systems

CAPACITY: 0 – 1000 TONS

With decades of proven expertise, Morello continues to set industry benchmarks in automated material handling by delivering highly reliable and fully customizable automated transfer carts worldwide. Morello’s RGV transfer carts, or Rail-Guided Vehicles, are developed for industrial plants where heavy loads must move with precision, repeatability and safe integration into production processes.

Each project is engineered around the customer’s operational requirements, ensuring smooth integration into automated material handling systems and facilities of different sizes and complexity. These automated carts can support demanding production flows where safety, productivity and controlled movement are essential.

RGV transfer carts for heavy industrial applications

Drawing on in-depth automation expertise, Morello works with leading PLC and control system brands such as Siemens, Allen Bradley, Rockwell, IFM, and Omron. Our RGV solutions are successfully deployed across a wide range of industries, including steel and aluminum production, metalworking, nuclear facilities, shipbuilding, and the handling of coils, dies, and molds.

An automatic transfer trolley can be used to automate specific sections of a production line, connect departments, support material flow between workstations and reduce dependence on overhead cranes. Each system is developed according to load capacity, route, power supply, control architecture, communication protocol and plant layout.

POWER SUPPLY and CONTROL options

Morello’s automated cart systems support all standard power supply configurations, including busbars, cable chains, cable drums, and battery systems. Depending on application requirements, they can also be powered by inductive floor-embedded systems, diesel engines, or onboard generator units.

For companies looking to automate dedicated handling operations, Morello provides turnkey solutions tailored to precise technical requirements. These can include standalone systems with onboard control logic or fully integrated RGV configurations designed to interface directly with the plant infrastructure.

AUTOMATED TRANSFER CARTS and AGV systems

Automated transfer carts and AGVs both support industrial automation, but they respond to different material handling needs depending on the plant layout, route structure and level of flexibility required.

An automated guided transfer cart, often configured as an RGV, is typically used for processes that require repeatable movement along defined rail-based or structured routes inside the plant. This type of solution is particularly suitable for high-capacity operations that require repeatable cycles and precise movement between production areas.

For driverless material transport, an AGV transfer cart can use navigation technologies and software logic to move heavy loads with a higher level of route flexibility. In some projects, this configuration may be developed when the vehicle needs to interact with the plant’s automated workflow and adapt to specific movement requirements.

The most suitable solution is selected according to the application, the movement logic and the required level of integration with the production process.

SAFETY STANDARDS and industrial reliability

All RGV transfer carts are designed and manufactured in full compliance with stringent international standards for mechanical, electrical and electronic safety. This approach supports reliable performance in heavy-industry environments where large loads, frequent cycles and complex automation requirements must be managed safely.

Morello’s software engineers develop safe, efficient and user-friendly control interfaces, working closely with PLC manufacturers and automation partners to ensure each system meets the specific requirements of the plant.
