Rail-guided trolleys for heavy-load material handling

Morello’s motorized rail-guided trolleys stand out for their reliability and advanced automation features, reflecting the company’s engineering excellence. Quality, safety, and customization guide the development of every solution. Each transporter is manufactured using advanced technologies for handling heavy loads along fixed, defined routes, where rails ensure operational continuity and precise travel.

What RGVs are and how they differ from AGVs

Rail-guided trolleys are self-propelled transporters designed to move heavy loads along fixed rail routes inside industrial plants. Also known as RGVs, they are ideal when production flows follow defined paths between departments, workstations, loading areas or storage zones.

Unlike AGVs, which move autonomously without physical guidance systems, an RGV follows rails installed along the route. This makes a rail-mounted transporter particularly suitable for repetitive cycles, high load capacities and applications where precision, continuity and controlled movement are essential.

Two solutions for rail-guided material handling

Operator-controlled trolleys

Operator-controlled self-propelled rail-guided trolleys are designed to move loads safely and efficiently, with control options including a pendant push-button panel, radio remote control, operator platform, or control desk.

They are a reliable solution for stable production cycles and fixed routes, with load capacities of up to 1,000 tons. They can be configured according to plant requirements, with electric, battery, diesel, or pneumatic power supply.

Automatic transfer cars

Automatic transfer cars are designed to automate the internal handling of heavy materials along rail-guided routes.

They are a suitable solution for contexts requiring greater logistics efficiency, precision, and safety, even in the most complex production processes. When required, an RGV transfer cart can be integrated with the automation logic already present in the plant. Its high level of customization and compliance with the strictest international safety standards make it possible to optimize intralogistics in many industrial applications, from the steel sector to shipyards.

Applications for rail-guided handling

Morello’s rail-guided trolleys are used in industrial environments where heavy or bulky loads must be moved along fixed and repeatable routes.

A rail-bound cart can support transfers between production departments, assembly areas, warehouses, testing stations and loading points, ensuring precise and continuous movement throughout the plant.

Custom configurations for rail-guided transport

Morello constantly updates its design and production standards, expanding the customization possibilities of its motorized rail-guided trolleys. Each solution can be developed according to load capacity, dimensions, travel speed, loading platform type, power supply, control mode, working environment, and integration with the production process. Mechanical configurations and software options are adapted to the specific needs of each application.
