What it is
An autonomous forklift picks up, moves, and drops pallets without a driver, running the repetitive dock-to-rack and line-feed loops on your existing floor. Service Robot Co. sells or leases the unit, deploys it, and services it with RoboCare™, across all 50 US states, so you add lift capacity without adding a hiring problem.
An autonomous forklift does the same job as a manned truck on the repetitive routes: pick a pallet at the dock, run it to racking or staging, come back for the next one. It navigates with onboard sensing, works around people, and repeats the loop for a full shift without a break. Tuggers do the same for carts and trains of material.
Licensed drivers are hard to hire and harder to keep, and the repetitive loops are the part that burns them out. The honest split most sites land on: the autonomous unit runs the boring miles, your drivers keep the tricky loads, tight corners, and exceptions. Service Robot Co. picks the unit that fits your floor, deploys it, trains your team, and keeps it serviced under RoboCare™.
Field notes
Pallets keep multiplying. Licensed drivers keep getting scarcer.
