In the fast-evolving world of heavy material handling, efficiency, precision, and adaptability are non-negotiable. OMNI multidirectional trolleys, battery-powered and engineered by Morello, offer a state-of-the-art solution that is transforming how companies move heavy loads. With their advanced omnidirectional steering systems and modular design, OMNI models are setting new benchmarks in versatility and productivity.
What sets OMNI apart?
The OMNI series distinguishes itself with its exceptional ability to move effortlessly in any direction, made possible by an advanced omnidirectional steering system. This cutting-edge technology enables complex maneuvers such as full 360° rotations (carousel mode), diagonal movement (“crab steering”), and on-the-spot pivoting (compass steering). These capabilities make OMNI the perfect solution for tight or crowded industrial environments where traditional transport systems fall short.
Unlike conventional transporters that rely on hydraulic motors for traction and steering, OMNI utilizes brushless AC electric motors. This innovative choice significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance requirements, while eliminating friction and wear on both wheels and operating surfaces.
Key features of OMNI models
Engineered to meet the most demanding material handling challenges, OMNI transporters deliver a powerful combination of strength, flexibility, and cutting-edge innovation. These are the standout features that make them a top choice across multiple industrial sectors:
- Exceptional load capacity:
OMNI trolleys are built to carry loads of up to 500 tons and beyond, making them ideal for heavy-duty industries such as aerospace, shipbuilding, steel production, energy, and large-scale manufacturing. - Compact design for efficient space utilization:
With a space-saving structure, OMNI transporters can easily navigate narrow aisles and restricted production areas, without compromising their capacity or maneuverability. - Integrated self-loading system:
Equipped with a built-in lifting platform, OMNI vehicles eliminate the need for external cranes during loading and unloading, cutting handling times and improving operational safety. - Outstanding adaptability in any setting:
Thanks to a hydraulic suspension system and customizable wheel configurations, OMNI models maintain reliable performance both indoors and outdoors, even on uneven or rough terrain. - Energy-efficient operation:
Powered by lithium batteries and brushless motors with energy recovery systems, OMNI transporters offer high-performance handling with lower environmental impact and reduced operating costs. - Fully customizable design:
Every OMNI unit can be tailored to specific operational needs, from dimensions and battery life to superstructures. An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) version is also available for fully autonomous operation in Industry 4.0 environments.
Cross-industry applications
Thanks to their unmatched versatility, OMNI transporters have become an essential solution across a wide range of industrial sectors, ensuring efficiency, safety, and precision in even the most demanding environments:
- Heavy manufacturing: Accurate handling of large machinery, components, and structural assemblies.
- Aerospace and Shipbuilding: Secure, efficient transport of oversized elements such as aircraft wings and ship sections.
- Warehouse logistics: Streamlined movement of goods in tight or space-constrained storage facilities.
- Automotive production lines: Seamless and precise transfer of parts between assembly stations to maintain workflow continuity.
Among the most notable use cases are the transport of wind turbine blades weighing over 60 tons, the manufacturing of rail vehicles, and the handling of high-voltage transformers in complex operational settings.
