Wheel configuration of the cart
The carts must be fitted with two rigid and two swivel wheels. The two rigid wheels can either sit
on the front or the back of the cart.
Whether the robot performs better towing a cart with rigid wheels on the front or the back
depends on the maneuvering conditions on the individual site and should be assessed before the
gripper bar is fixed.
Two rigid wheels on the back and two swivels on the front
With this configuration, the turning radius of the robot and the cart is larger, but the driving is
more stable. Reverse parking is easier.
Two swivels on the back and two rigid wheels on the front
With this configuration, the turning radius of the robot and the cart is smaller, making it ideal for
areas with tight corner passages.
Payload
MiR250 Hook is designed to tow up to 500 kg.
Because the robot tows the cart, the weight of the cart cannot be applied directly to the robot's
payload. In general, we recommend using the robot to tow loads of max 500 kg.
It is the responsibility of the commissioner to determine the safe total payload each cart type can
support regardless of the robot's payload.
The exact payload limit depends on the cart design, payload distribution, application, and driving
surface. The total payload should be determined during commissioning.
CAUTION
Determine the safe total payload for your cart application during commissioning.
l
Ensure that loads are correctly distributed and fastened to the MiR250 Hook.
