Polaris™ Forklift AGV

The Polaris offers a cost-effective and versatile solution for material handling without compromising on performance. Designed according to international AGV industry standards, it uses proven technologies such as laser-guided navigation and components from leading suppliers to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient automation across a wide range of applications and environments.

While standardized, the Polaris still offers flexible configuration options to meet specific operational needs, including:

  • Battery type and charging
  • Individualization of AGV (color, name, and logotype)
  • Camera options
  • Pallet type adaptation
  • Safety and service packages
  • Display language
  • Personalized screen saver and menu colors

This counterbalance forklift is an ideal solution for businesses seeking both flexibility and efficiency. It handles uneven and irregularly shaped loads with ease, ensuring safe and stable transport. The Polaris is also capable of handling different pallet types and materials directly from the floor or onto conveyors.

The display features a new user interface designed for an intuitive and user-friendly experience. The interface adapts to different user roles – such as operators and service technicians – ensuring that users only see the most relevant information and controls. It is also customizable, allowing users to personalize the language, logotype, and brand colors.

The Polaris is designed for use with Smoova, AGVE’s proprietary web-based fleet management system, developed for seamless integration with customers’ existing infrastructure.
