Robotic Forklifts & Lift Trucks

Taking the operator out of the equation

Today’s robotic lift trucks operate without any added infrastructure and are unrestricted by fixed routes. This offers great flexibility, ease of use, and increased productivity. Robotic lift trucks build a map of the facility and self-locate in real-time, navigating infrastructure-free and easily responding to unexpected obstructions.

Now’s the time to experience the innovative engineering of automated forklifts will improve productivity, minimize damage to products, and reduce operations costs up to 70%.

AUTOMATE REPETITIVE TASKS

When Hyster or Yale lift trucks are equipped with robotic technology, your forklift is transformed into an automated solution, positioning you to:

  • Reduce operator costs
  • Increase operational efficiency
  • Minimize damaged goods and accidents
  • Infrastructure-free automation
  • ROI in less than two years for two-shift operations

According to Material Handling and Logistics, automation will likely continue to become less costly, while wages and benefits for human workers will increase over time. Can you afford to miss out?

INNOVATION BEHIND ROBOTICS

What exactly makes robotic lift trucks so revolutionary? It’s the innovative features that allow these automated forklifts to self-navigate through even the most convoluted warehouses with agility, adjusting to other equipment and workers.

While your staff performs high-level logistics tasks, the repetitive, simple tasks can be completed using automation. Quickly reduce operating costs up to 70% by leveraging automation technology.

Scalable Warehouse Solutions

Simply put, robotic forklifts make it easy to maximize your warehouse efficiency. The architecture is flexible and scalable enough to meet your ever-changing operational demands.

Robotic technology is the smart choice for those who want to prepare their warehouse solutions for the future, while maximizing resources in the present.

Taking On The Labor Shortage

When automating processes and calculating the associated payback, direct labor savings are obvious wins, with expenses like hourly wages, overtime and holiday pay rising to the top. But automation drives savings in other indirect ways to drastically reduce costs associated with:

  • Retraining and re-education
  • Insurance
  • Workers compensation
  • Lost time due to illness or injury
  • Long-term wage increases

Protect Your People & Minimize Risk

Did you know that 70% of lift truck incidents can be attributed to operator error? And with operator turnover at 43% - great inexperience and incidents can be difficult to avoid.

Limit touches, human error and reduce potential product damage and costly incidents. It's time for robotics.
