A mobile lifting apparatus has a platform (133) coupled to a plurality of scissor lifting arms (201, 202) which are coupled to automatic guided vehicles (AGVs, 141). The lifting apparatus has a control system which controls the height and angle of the platform. The scissor lifting arms can be controlled to alter the height and/or angle of the platform. A lift apparatus can have a sensor (277) which determines the angle and height of the platform and can maintain the platform at a specific angle and height while moving over uneven terrain. The controllers on multiple AGVs can communicate with each other so that the platform positions for multiple AGVs can be coordinated when multiple AGVs are carrying large objects.
