AGV mezzanine at Hunkemöller: ready for thousands of turns a day

3 March 2026 2 min read
Around 80 robots operate day and night in Hunkemöller‘s new distribution centre in Almere. Impressive efficiency? Yes, but also relentless pressure on the floor. That’s why Hunkemöller chose our Mezzanine U7 Supreme AGV: a mezzanine floor developed for intensive robot traffic and a smart alternative to concrete.

Resistant to intensive wear

AGV robots do not move randomly. They follow fixed routes via QR codes and take exactly the same turns every time. Especially at 90° turns, the floor takes a beating. And each AGV weighs around 1,000 kg. Ignore that at the design stage and wear will appear sooner or later at those critical turning points. The result? Maintenance, repairs or even temporary disruption to your logistics process.

With Mezzanine U7 Supreme AGV, wear does not stand a chance. The board features an AC6 wear layer – the highest class for this application. This extra-hard top layer absorbs repeated turning movements on fixed tracks, day after day.

With AGV applications, you know in advance that heavy loads are part of the equation. That’s why we developed Mezzanine U7 Supreme AGV with an AC6 top layer to prevent wear at those fixed turning points.”

A smart alternative to concrete

Still thinking about concrete for your floor build-up? There is another way. Concrete is heavy and inflexible. A mezzanine floor lets you create extra space quickly, reduce the load on your foundations and keep the freedom to adjust your layout later.

And the design works just as hard as the structure. The underside is finished in white melamine-faced board, creating a light-reflective ceiling below. That means a brighter, more pleasant working environment for your warehouse team. And sustainability? “The wood in our mezzanine floors is 100% recycled waste wood. Wood that has already had a life and now serves a new purpose in our panels,” Sofie adds.
