(Kivnon: Farmington Hills, MI) -- One of the latest additions to Kivnon’s automated guided vehicle (AGV) portfolio is the K55 pallet stacker. This new addition provides customers with a vehicle that can automatically transport stack pallets.

Thierry Delmas, managing director of Kivnon, says, “The K55 is an ideal solution for end-of-line palletizing, food and beverage, and retail applications. It’s designed to ensure efficiency, reliability, and complete safety.”

Equipped with lifting forks, the K55 pallet stacker will automatically transport palletized loads of up to 1,200 kg (about 2,645 lb) and can lift to a height of up to 1500 mm (nearly 5 ft). In line with all the Kivnon AGV/AMR ranges, the automated forklift is based on a simple, reliable, well-engineered design that will ensure it carries out its missions smoothly and reliably.

“Many AGV applications do not need complicated functions and controls, which can confuse operators, lead to errors, and reduce reliability,” says Delmas. “The Kivnon approach offers design and engineering excellence with a range of standardized fundamental models. Of course, vehicles can be customized to meet specific application goals, but we ensure our solutions aren’t overengineered or overpriced.”
