Description
HD18/600 TRANSFORM is a modular, battery-powered heavy-duty forklift that can be operated manned, cooperatively, or fully autonomously.
It is designed as a long-term investment and enables a step-by-step transition from manned to autonomous transport of heavy goods up to 18 tons.
The concept can be integrated into various operational infrastructures without the need for extensive retrofitting or further purchases.
The target group consists of warehouse logistics companies that are in the process of transitioning towards automation or have automation as a later goal.
Vertical columns in the middle of the vehicle side serve as important reference points for human-machine interaction. For permanent autonomous operation, the cabin can be removed.
An electric drive, the switch between manual and autonomous operation, and the interaction between human and autonomous machine are combined in one design concept.
