The author describes a cost comparison for transport of goods in standard 500 kg packages by various methods; viz. hand pallet trucks, reach trucks, electrical tractors, AGVS tractors, AGVS pallet trucks, floor level chains, monorail, non-driven and driven roller tracks. Statistics are presented in terms of DM per unit transported as functions of units/hr and distances up to 3200 m. Automatically guided vehicle systems (AGVS) show advantages in most cases, except for large volumes over long distances. In Europe, about 4000 situations are estimated to be suitable for AGVS. Some qualitative aspects are discussed.
