Even the most advanced AGV forklift cannot operate stably on an unqualified floor. Minor irregularities can lead to positioning errors, fork misalignment, and even safety hazards—making floor flatness far more critical for AGVs than for manual forklifts.
Industry standards recommend an overall flatness of ≤5mm over 2 meters, with stricter requirements for high-level operation areas. A professional floor assessment should be conducted before selecting equipment to prevent operational issues down the line.
Our Advice: Assess the Floor First, Then Discuss Equipment
A mature AGV project should follow this workflow:
Site Assessment → Floor Condition Confirmation → Vehicle Selection → System Design
not the other way around.Start with the foundation, and ensure your automation investment stands on solid ground.
