Industrial Vehicles

Industrial vehicles include all push or powered carts and vehicles that generally have free movement. Utilize powered vehicles such as lift trucks for medium distance movement of batched parts in a container or pallet. For short moves, use manual or semi-powered carts. Single load transporters are capable of moving only one load at a time from one location to another. Such devices are fairly straightforward to model because they involve only a single resource and a single destination for each move.

Multiple load transporters, on the other hand, can move more than one load at a time from one or more sources to one or more destinations. Defining capacity and operation for multiple load transporters can be extremely difficult since there may be special rules defining when to retrieve additional loads and when to deliver the loads already on board.
