Remote-controlled electric mover for safe and efficient heavy load handling in industrial environments

Handling heavy loads in confined spaces is now one of the main critical issues in industrial environments. The production landscape has changed significantly: machines, components, and finished products are increasingly large and bulky, while production spaces, corridors, and maneuvering areas have largely remained unchanged.

This imbalance creates concrete challenges that directly affect business performance, including:

  • operator safety

  • maneuvering precision

  • operational efficiency

  • compliance with safety regulations

The limits of traditional industrial handling equipment

In many industrial settings, equipment originally designed for different purposes—such as forklift trucks—is still widely used. However, these solutions show clear limitations when handling heavy loads in confined spaces:

  • difficulty maneuvering in narrow aisles

  • limited precision in load positioning

  • lack of towing certification, leading to regulatory and operational risks

  • increased operator exposure to potentially hazardous situations

To meet the demands of modern industry, solutions specifically designed for controlled heavy load handling are required.

ROBIK: remote-controlled electric mover for confined spaces

ROBIK is a powerful yet compact remote-controlled electric mover, designed to handle complex maneuvers in industrial environments with limited space.

Thanks to its design, ROBIK positions itself directly underneath the load via an integrated lifting platform, securely engaging it and becoming one with the load. This approach ensures full control of the load throughout all handling and towing operations.

Key technical features of ROBIK

  • Integrated lifting platform for engaging the load from underneath

  • Steering angle up to 75°, ideal for narrow aisles and congested areas

  • Remote control for safe, distance-based operation

  • Compact, high-performance structure

  • Designed for controlled handling and towing of heavy loads

Benefits for safety and operational efficiency

Using a remote-controlled electric mover like ROBIK delivers tangible and measurable benefits in industrial processes:

  • reduced risk for operators, who can work at a safe distance from the load

  • greater maneuvering precision and accurate positioning

  • improved handling of heavy and bulky loads in confined spaces

  • increased operational efficiency and reduced handling time

  • a solution aligned with the safety requirements of modern industrial environments

A solution designed for today’s industrial needs

ROBIK was developed to address the evolving needs of the industrial world, where the growing size of loads has not been matched by an expansion of available space.

In this context, adopting remote-controlled electric movers for heavy load handling represents a strategic choice for companies aiming to improve safety, control, and productivity, while simultaneously reducing operational risks.
