Abstract

The present invention relates to an automated guide vehicle (10) for transporting objects (38) comprising a support structure (12) with an outer contour (14), a chassis (16) fastened to the support structure (12) having at least one first wheel (18) and one second wheel (20), wherein the first wheel (18) and the second wheel (20) are respectively rotatably mounted in the chassis (16) about a first axis of rotation (D1) and a second axis of rotation (D2), a drive unit (22), with which the first wheel (18) and the second wheel (20) can be driven independently from one another, a lifting mechanism (32) cooperating with the support structure (12) for lifting and lowering at least one support portion (39) which cooperates therewith to transport the objects, and a store (70) for electrical energy, which in plan view protrudes in portions beyond the outer contour (14) of the support structure (12), wherein the energy store (70) is movably fastened to the support structure (12).
