Forklift

Towing AGV

3,000 kg towing. Laser SLAM and QR code on one chassis. Standard builds out the door in 4-6 weeks.

Hangcha Towing AGV is a 3,000 kg automatic towing tractor for horizontal transport in warehouses and distribution centers. One chassis runs two navigation modes: laser SLAM for layouts that shift, and QR code for fixed lanes.

The AGV uses a safety bumper, laser obstacle avoidance, and audible/visual alarms to work alongside people. The scheduling system exposes an open API for WMS/MES integration, and docking solutions are custom-built around your floor plan. Standard builds ship in 4-6 weeks; common spare parts dispatch in 7 days. A compatibility checklist maps the AGV to existing Hangcha forklift models before you commit.

What buyers actually ask about

The questions that decide an AGV project

Compatibility, integration, safety, and what happens after the truck leaves.

Two navigation modes on one chassis—laser SLAM builds its map on the fly, so relabeling QR markers after a rack move isn't required

Feature

Warehouse floors, cross-docks, and production lines

Repetitive towing work, moved off the forklift driver's schedule.

The AGV takes the back-and-forth trips: pallets, carts, and containers between zones. Typical sites include:

Distribution center cross-docking—trailers in, staged freight out
Production line material supply and finished goods removal
Warehouses where racks get rearranged and fixed guide paths stop fitting

Feature

Where It Works

Warehouse and distribution center horizontal transport
Production line material supply and finished goods removal
Logistics and distribution center cross-docking
Factory automation for repetitive towing tasks
Mixed human-robot environments requiring safety compliance

Laser SLAM vs QR code

Same AGV, two navigation modes—pick by lane

Most sites use both: SLAM in the open floor, QR code at fixed docking points.

FAQ

Questions we get before the PO

Compatibility, lead time, integration, support.

Will this towing AGV work with the Hangcha forklifts already on my floor?

Send us your Hangcha model numbers and fleet system version. We return the compatibility checklist with each point marked pass or needs adapter. If your model isn't on the list, our engineers will tell you what changes on the AGV side before you place an order.

What is the minimum order quantity, and how long is the lead time?

MOQ is 1 unit, including OEM/ODM. Standard builds leave the factory in 4-6 weeks. Custom scheduling or docking work adds roughly 2 weeks—6-8 weeks total. Exact dates are confirmed in writing on the proforma invoice.

Our WMS runs on an older platform. Can your scheduling system still connect?

The scheduling system uses an open API, and we ship integration documentation with the unit. If your WMS/MES only accepts flat-file or database-level exchange, our engineers build a gateway for that during solution design. Share your platform version during the site survey and we'll confirm the integration path before production.

How does laser SLAM handle it when we move racks around?

Laser SLAM matches against natural features in the environment and rebuilds its map when the layout changes, so no floor relabeling is needed. For lanes that never move, QR code navigation is the lower-cost option. Many sites run both modes on the same AGV—SLAM in the open floor, QR code at fixed docking points.

Which safety certifications does the AGV carry?

The AGV is built to CE and ISO safety standards. Third-party test reports are available on request. Safety bumper, laser obstacle avoidance, and audible/visual alarms are all standard, not optional add-ons.

What happens after commissioning if a part fails?

Technical response is within 24 hours. Common spare parts ship in 7 days. A maintenance plan with the parts list is handed over at commissioning so your team knows exactly which components to stock. For OEM customers, we can hold a spares kit at your site.

Can we trial a unit before committing to a fleet?

Yes. Pilot units are available for a defined evaluation period. We also run your numbers through an ROI calculator—travel distance, labor hours replaced, payback period—so the decision to scale is based on data from your own floor.
