GOAT AMRs for heavy engineering plants
Heavy Engineering Heavy-duty AMRs for 2-tonne loads, fixtures and multi-floor transport
Why heavy engineering plants choose GOAT AMRs
Heavy engineering plants move large components, fixtures, racks and pallets between bays, machining centres and assembly areas — work that has traditionally depended on forklifts, overhead cranes and manual pushing.
GOAT Robotics’ heavy-duty platforms automate these moves: GTX Series carries up to 2,000 kg, GT-L Series lifts and carries up to 2,000 kg, and GT-XT tows trains of carts. GOAT has deployed 1.5–1.75 tonne payload AMRs that move material across floors using lift and shutter integration in high-throughput environments.
- Fewer forklift movements in shared work areas
- Repeatable, damage-free transport of heavy parts
- Automated movement across floors and bays
- Scales from one heavy route to a coordinated fleet
How GOAT AMRs transform heavy engineering material handling
Heavy engineering plants move castings, housings, fixtures and racks weighing up to two tonnes — work tied to forklifts and overhead cranes. Here is the same plant with GOAT heavy-duty AMRs.
- 01
Heavy components between bays
Today
Castings, housings and fixtures wait for a forklift or a free overhead crane.
With GOAT AMRs
GOAT GTX AMRs carry up to 2,000 kg between bays and machining centres on schedule, leaving cranes for lifting rather than transport.
GTX Series - 02
WIP on racks and fixture carts
Today
Large WIP sits on fixtures until someone is free to move it.
With GOAT AMRs
GOAT GT-L latent-lifting AMRs drive under racks and fixture carts, lift up to 2,000 kg and deliver them to the next process.
GT-L Series - 03
Between floors
Today
Every load that changes floor needs a person to run the lift and the shutters.
With GOAT AMRs
GOAT AMRs call lifts and open shutters through GT Studio — GOAT already moves 1.5–1.75 tonne loads across floors this way.
GTX Series - 04
Long runs between buildings
Today
Long hauls tie up a driver and a vehicle for every trip.
- 05
Final assembly and test
Today
Assembly waits for parts that are somewhere on the shop floor.
With GOAT AMRs
GT Studio shows where every load is in real time, and assembly calls the next parts in sequence from GOAT AMRs.
Already running at GOAT customers
- 1.5–1.75 tonne payload GOAT AMRs move material across floors with lift and shutter integration in a high-throughput manufacturing plant.
What to measure after go-live
- Forklift and crane hours used for transport
- Waiting time for material at machining and assembly
- Manual handling of heavy loads
- Loads moved across floors without a person
- Incidents and near-misses with heavy loads
GT Studio logs every GOAT AMR mission, so these figures come from the fleet system rather than spot checks.
Heavy engineering workflows GOAT AMRs automate
Component transfer between bays
Heavy components and fixtures move between machining, fabrication and assembly bays.
Rack and fixture handling
GT-L robots drive under racks and fixture carts, lift and deliver them.
Cross-floor movement
Lift and shutter integration lets GOAT AMRs move loads between floors.
GOAT AMR applications for heavy engineering: wip movement, pallet transport, tugger trains, rack & cart transport
Recommended GOAT AMRs for heavy engineering plants
GTX Series
Industrial AMRs
500–2,000 kg
High-capacity autonomous mobile robots that move pallets, racks and heavy industrial loads up to 2 tonnes — without forklifts.
View GTX Series
GT-L Series
Latent lifting AMRs
600–2,000 kg
Low-profile robots that drive under shelves, racks and carts, lift them electrically and deliver up to 2 tonnes — stopping within ±10 mm.
View GT-L Series
GT-XT
Autonomous tow robot
1,000 kg
An autonomous tugger that pulls trains of carts and trolleys, indoors and outdoors — batch material movement over long distances without lift-based AMRs.
View GT-XT
GT-XP
Autonomous pallet AMR
1,500 kg
Automated pallet pick-up, transport and drop-off — replacing repetitive forklift trips in factories and warehouses.

Heavy engineering AMR FAQs
What is the heaviest load a GOAT robot can carry?
GTX-2000 carries up to 2,000 kg on top, and GT-L 2000 lifts and carries up to 2,000 kg with latent lifting. Custom heavier configurations can be discussed with our engineering team.
Can robots open shutters and use lifts?
Yes. GOAT has integrated AMRs with lifts and shutters so material moves between floors without manual intervention.
