What is an Omnidirectional Mover
What Is an Omnidirectional Mover?
An Omnidirectional Mover is an advanced industrial transport system engineered to move heavy loads in any direction — forward, backward, sideways, or rotate on the spot — thanks to its 360° maneuverability. Unlike traditional carts, these movers provide maximum flexibility, space efficiency, and enhanced safety in demanding environments such as automotive, steel, transformer, and energy sectors.
Key Advantages of Omnidirectional Movers
- 360° Movement Capability: Move in any direction with precision.
- No Rail Dependency: Operates freely on flat factory floors.
- High Load Capacity: Tailored solutions up to 400 tons.
- Eco-Friendly Power: Battery powered and low-maintenance.
