Autonomous Pallet Forklift – 1,500 kg Payload
An autonomous pallet-handling forklift for repetitive pallet transport in manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centers. Features 3D vision pallet recognition, a compact 1,500 mm turning radius, and dual-mode charging to help operations reduce manual transport bottlenecks in multi-shift workflows.
Product Overview
This is an autonomous pallet-handling forklift built for facilities that move standard pallets along repetitive, fixed routes. It handles palletized loads up to 1,500 kg, navigates aisles as narrow as 2,103 mm, and completes 360° turns within a 1,500 mm turning radius — making it suitable for confined warehouse and production-floor environments where conventional forklifts may not fit.
The forklift is designed for manufacturing plants, distribution centers, 3PL operators and other facilities with high-frequency, standardized pallet transport workflows. Typical tasks include line-side material replenishment, production-to-warehouse transport, pallet putaway, buffer management and empty-pallet retrieval.
Key technologies include LiDAR sensing and obstacle detection, 3D vision-based pallet recognition for automatic fork engagement, a spring-and-hydraulic suspension system that reduces fork vibration by 70% (manufacturer-stated), and dual-mode energy management supporting both manual battery swap and automatic charging. The lithium iron phosphate battery (48 V / 30 Ah) provides up to 8 hours runtime without load or 6 hours under full load, with a 1-hour charging time.
This forklift is supplied and supported by AIsirRobot. Selection, configuration, system integration and deployment planning can be evaluated based on project requirements.
Key Benefits
✅Compact Turning for Narrow-Aisle Operation
A 1,500 mm turning radius and 1,729 mm overall length allow the forklift to operate in aisles as narrow as 2,103 mm (for 800 × 1,200 mm pallets) or 2,176 mm (for 1,000 × 1,200 mm pallets). Facilities with limited aisle width can deploy autonomous pallet transport without widening existing racking layouts. Actual aisle requirements depend on pallet dimensions, load overhang and safety margin — site survey is recommended before deployment.
✅3D Vision Pallet Recognition
A 3D vision system identifies pallet positions and enables precise fork engagement, supporting automatic pallet pickup without manual alignment. This reduces operator intervention in repetitive transport loops where pallet placement may vary within a tolerance range. Recognition performance depends on lighting, pallet condition and pallet type consistency — damaged or non-standard pallets may require evaluation.
✅Suspension-Stabilized Load Handling
A spring-and-hydraulic suspension system reduces fork vibration amplitude by 70% (manufacturer-stated), helping stabilize loads during travel and reduce the risk of goods damage. This is relevant for facilities handling packaged goods, electronics or other vibration-sensitive products. Actual performance varies with floor condition, load weight, travel speed and route layout.
✅Dual-Mode Energy Management
The forklift supports both manual battery swap and automatic charging. The lithium iron phosphate battery (48 V / 30 Ah) charges in 1 hour and provides up to 8 hours runtime without load or 6 hours under full load. Facilities can choose battery swap for minimal downtime or automatic charging during low-activity periods. Runtime varies with load weight, travel distance, lifting frequency and floor conditions.
✅570 mm Fork Design with Hydraulic Side Shift
The 570 mm fork spacing matches small pallets such as Euro pallets directly, while a hydraulic side-shift function extends compatibility to standard pallets 1,200 mm and above. A facility handling both Euro pallets (800 mm) and standard 1,200 mm pallets on the same transport route can use the hydraulic side-shift to adjust fork position without manual reconfiguration. Final pallet compatibility must be confirmed against actual pallet specifications.
Pallet Compatibility & Space Requirements

| 1,000 × 1,200 mm | 1,200 mm across forks | 2,176 mm |
Actual aisle requirements depend on pallet dimensions, load overhang, operating speed and safety margin. To confirm compatibility, please share your pallet type, dimensions, fork entry clearance and load center.
Safety & Perception
This is equipped with the following safety and perception systems:
| System | Function |
| LiDAR sensing | Environmental perception and obstacle detection during travel |
| Laser obstacle avoidance | Detects obstacles and supports path adjustment in shared aisles |
| 3D vision system | Identifies pallet position and orientation for fork engagement |
| Front safety bumper (collision detection edge) | Detects physical contact at the front of the forklift |
| Physical emergency-stop button | Halts operation immediately when activated |
| Electromagnetic brake | Engages brake for stopping and parking |
| Pallet-in-position detection | Confirms pallet engagement status |
| Real-time environmental monitoring | Monitors surroundings during operation |
These safety functions help reduce collision risk when operating alongside personnel and equipment. The completed application still requires a site-specific risk assessment. Safety functions support — but do not replace — proper facility safety management, aisle marking, speed limits and operator training.

FAQS
Q: What pallet types and sizes does the support?
The 570 mm fork spacing matches small pallets such as Euro pallets directly. A hydraulic side-shift function extends compatibility to standard pallets 1,200 mm and above. Pallet compatibility must be confirmed against your actual pallet specifications, including dimensions, fork entry clearance and load center.
Q: How long does the battery last and how is it charged?
The lithium iron phosphate battery (48 V / 30 Ah) provides up to 8 hours runtime without load or 6 hours under full load. Charging takes 1 hour. The forklift supports both manual battery swap and automatic charging. Runtime varies with load weight, travel distance, lifting frequency and floor conditions.
Q: Can the forklift operate alongside human workers?
The forklift is equipped with LiDAR sensing, laser obstacle avoidance, a front safety bumper, electromagnetic braking and a physical emergency-stop button.
