AGV Forklifts
AGV (Automated) forklifts use intelligent navigation technology to transport pallets safely across your site, 24/7. They are also known as Automated Forklifts, driverless forklifts or as an Automated Guided Vehicle.
Whether it’s moving raw materials to production or finished goods to dispatch, AGVs remove the need for manual handling of repetitive transport tasks—allowing your team to focus on higher-value work.
Smarter, Safer, and More Efficient
Our AGV systems are built around three key goals: safety, efficiency, and reliability. Equipped with sensors and advanced safety systems, each forklift detects and avoids obstacles while maintaining smooth, predictable movement. The result is a safer workplace with fewer accidents, reduced product damage, and consistent productivity—no matter the shift pattern.
By automating simple transport routes, our clients typically achieve up to 60% savings on manual transport costs, with short payback periods and minimal disruption during installation.

Consistency in repetitive movements
AGV forklifts are ideally suited to sites where the same transport tasks are repeated throughout the day. By following predefined routes and stopping points, they deliver highly consistent movements with minimal deviation. This reduces handling errors, product damage, and wear on racking and infrastructure, which is especially valuable in structured warehouse and production environments.
Improved safety on site
Safety is a key benefit of AGV forklift deployment. Removing manual driving from repetitive routes lowers the risk of collisions and near-misses in high-traffic areas. AGVs are equipped with scanners and sensors that continuously monitor their surroundings, allowing them to slow down or stop automatically when obstacles are detected. This creates a more predictable and controlled working environment for both people and equipment.
Reliable throughput and performance
Unlike manual forklifts, AGVs do not suffer from fatigue or inconsistent driving behaviour. They operate with the same precision on every shift, making them ideal for round-the-clock or multi-shift operations. This reliability supports stable throughput and helps operations teams plan production and dispatch with greater confidence.
Long-term operational efficiency
AGV forklifts reduce reliance on skilled labour for repetitive tasks and help stabilise operating costs. Once in place, they can be scaled as volumes grow, making them a practical and future-ready solution for sites built around repetitive vehicle movements.
Discover the Future of Material Handling
Driverless forklifts are changing how manufacturers think about logistics. With Noreside Engineering’s expertise in automation and integration, your business can embrace the benefits of AGV technology—reducing costs, improving safety, and keeping your operations moving efficiently around the clock.
What are AGVs?
Automated Guided Vehicles are driverless forklifts that transport pallets and goods autonomously around a production facility.
How do AGVs navigate?
They use laser navigation and mapping technology, which means no rails or tracks are required. This makes installation fast and flexible.
Are AGVs suitable for food manufacturing?
Yes. AGVs reduce manual handling, improve safety, and operate effectively in high-care environments while supporting GMP and EHEDG compliance.
Can AGVs work with conveyors?
Absolutely. At Noreside, we design conveyor systems that integrate seamlessly with AGVs to create efficient, automated product flows.
How scalable are AGV systems?
They can be expanded over time by adding more units, making it simple to scale operations as demand grows.
