Autonomous forklift AGV
Laser navigation, no floor changes. Pallet trucks handle floor-level moves, stackers and reach trucks put away to racking; automatic charging supports multi-shift operation.

An autonomous forklift navigates an existing warehouse by laser SLAM, picking up, carrying and placing pallets with no magnetic tape or floor codes. Forms include pallet trucks, stackers, reach trucks and counterbalance trucks. Pallet trucks only lift the pallet clear of the floor; stackers reach about 5.5 m, reach trucks about 9 m and counterbalance trucks about 3–4.5 m. Safety laser scanners and bumpers allow mixed operation with people and manual trucks. Fleet software assigns tasks and charging is automatic.
Typical uses
- Pallet moves from dock to storage
- Line feeding and finished-goods removal in production
- Links between AS/RS entries and conveyors
- Night-shift and cold-store operation without staff
