Quick Mover load transfer modules for AMR robots
Automatic pick-up and put-down of loads without operator intervention. Nord Modules’ Quick Mover is a transport module mounted on an AMR robot that enables automatic pick-up and put-down of loads in production and logistics processes. This allows AMR robots to not only transport materials between workstations, but also to realize the automatic transfer of loads between conveyors, production lines and logistics zones.

What is Nord Modules Quick Mover
Quick Mover is a transport module (top module) developed by Nord Modules for integration with AMR robots. The solution allows the robot not only to transport loads, but also to automatically pick them up and deposit them at specific points in the process.
Through the use of a lifting mechanism, the AMR robot can directly interact with plant infrastructure such as:
- roller and belt conveyors
- transfer goals
- production positions
- material deposition areas
This eliminates manual handling and increases the efficiency of intralogistics processes.

How the Quick Mover module works
The AMR robot equipped with the Quick Mover module performs transport and handling tasks in a fully autonomous manner.
A typical process is as follows:
- The robot pulls up to a pick-up station (such as a conveyor or transfer station).
- The Quick Mover module automatically lifts the load.
- The robot transports the cargo to the next location in the plant.
- The module deposits the load in the designated place.
- The robot is given another transportation task.
The entire process takes place automatically, without operator involvement.

Key functionalities of the Quick Mover module
Automatic load transfer
The Quick Mover module enables automatic pick-up and drop-off of loads without operator involvement. This allows full automation of the flow of materials between production and logistics stations.
Integration with plant infrastructure
The module can work with various elements of the transportation infrastructure at the plant, such as:
- roller and belt conveyors
- transfer gates (gate)
- production positions
- logistics zones
This allows AMR robots to be directly integrated into existing manufacturing and warehouse processes.
Lifting mechanism (lifting)
The built-in lifting mechanism enables stable and repeatable lifting and depositing of loads. This ensures high-precision material transfer, which is particularly important in production environments.

Technical parameters and expansion
Key parameters of the Quick Mover module:
- Compatibility: Robotize GoPal P35
- maximum load capacity: up to 260 kg
- lifting time: approx. 5.5 sec (up/down)
- lifting height: 80 mm
- lifetime of the mechanism: minimum 600,000 cycles
- module weight: about 38 kg
System expansion capabilities
The Quick Mover module can be equipped with additional elements to increase functionality and safety of operation:
- detection of the presence of a load on the robot
- detection of the presence of cargo on the station
- load measurement
- Integration with barcode or QR code scanners
- traffic light (stack light)
- safety lighting (blue light)
- side sensors
- height adjustment kits for conveyors
Thanks to its modular design, the solution can be easily adapted to the specifics of a given production or logistics process.

Integration with AMR robots
The Quick Mover module is compatible with robots Robotize GoPal P35.
The solution works with a robot fleet management system that enables:
- transport task management
- optimization of robot travel routes
- synchronization with production processes
- integration with WMS and ERP systems
This allows AMR robots to become an integral part of a company’s intralogistics infrastructure.
