Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"Are structural drive-in rails required for Drive-Through Pallet Racking when utilizing automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in Costa Mesa, CA?"

Dominic Cruz Director of Pallet Racking Sales

Yes. While AGVs possess high-precision telemetry, standard roll-formed rails lack the necessary torsional rigidity to sustain high-frequency autonomous indexing. Structural angle rails with chamfered entry guides are mandatory to prevent rail buckling and ensure sub-millimeter AGV alignment.
