They are the least iconic AGVs because they are completely different from traditional operator-driven forklift trucks. Proxaut’s mobile autonomous shuttles—meaning without a forklift operator—vary in terms of load capacity in kg. These **special AGVs** have a net load capacity ranging from a minimum of **500 kg** to a maximum of approximately **9,000 kg** and beyond. In the **aerospace sector**, where we have prestigious references, we have supplied special shuttles for transporting aircraft components weighing over **170 tonnes (170,000 kg)**. The **type of load unit** to be handled is an advantage for Proxaut, as shuttles (also known in industry jargon as "flatbeds" or "turtles") can transport and lift **any type of goods**. The **most suitable navigation systems** for this type of vehicle include **magnetic and wire guidance**, although **laser guidance** can also be used—depending entirely on the final application. SHUTTLE series vehicles are powered by **next-generation lithium batteries** to ensure high performance and long-lasting charge retention. A **battery management software**, also available on the **Cloud**, allows for real-time monitoring and maintenance scheduling. --- ### BATTERY FAQ ### Why choose an AGV with lithium batteries? Lithium batteries are among the most recognized and widely used by players in the shuttle and AGV market, as this technology offers **higher energy density** in a relatively compact space. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries **eliminate the need for maintenance** and support both **fast and opportunity charging**. **Energy efficiency** and **sustainability** merge in one solution, significantly reducing the environmental impact of logistics operations. Thanks to these batteries, the **EJC Series 1** models feature an **exceptionally compact length (dimension L2)**, making them among the **most compact on the market**. This, combined with an optimized design, enables **great maneuverability** even in the tightest spaces. --- The **SHUTTLE family** includes AGVs primarily designed for the **food industry**. These are **stainless steel mobile platform vehicles**, equipped with an **inertial guidance system (magnet-based)**, capable of transporting goods from point A to point B inside **food production departments** as well as **storage and warehouse areas**. Depending on the final application, the AGV shuttle can be built using **painted sheet metal** or **food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel**. One of the most common applications in food processing is in the **meat processing industry**. These automatic guided vehicles can easily operate inside **freezers and/or cold storage rooms** at temperatures **below zero**, down to **-20°C**, as well as in **curing and smoking areas**. These **forkless SH series AGVs** can operate in **both indoor and outdoor** environments. Where refrigeration is needed to transport **frozen and/or chilled food products**, they are capable of **maintaining the cold chain**, thus safeguarding the **quality of the transported food**. Autonomous guided vehicles like Proxaut’s **forkless AGVs** are used to transfer goods on **pallets, crates, platforms, tanks**, etc., and can be painted in **Proxaut’s iconic red** or built using **food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel** to operate within food production departments. These **autonomous navigation vehicles** are also used to transport goods inside production areas, on **pallets, roller conveyors**, etc., and can be made of **painted steel sheet** or **AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel** to meet food processing requirements.
