Forklifts are notoriously dangerous pieces of equipment, as errors in human operation can result in catastrophic damages and injuries. Sometimes forklifts are so crucial to product flow in a facility that they can't be eliminated or can only be designed out of the system at untenable cost. However, the risks can be mitigated by switching to driverless forklifts like Muratec's A4 AGV. The A4 optimizes everyday lifting and transport of heavy pallets, improving both safety and throughput.
This autonomous vehicle is most commonly employed in busy warehouses and distribution centers with multiple shifts. It easily slots into existing workflows as an ideal replacement for manned vehicles in just about any pallet handling application, including high rack load stacking, trailer loading and unloading, floor-to-floor transport, conveyor interfacing, mobile rack transfer, cold storage, and more.
Modify the base model with your preferred transfer unit and navigation system to get just the right configuration for your specific needs.

Guidance Options (least to most flexible):
The A4 can can accommodate a few different battery types (Lead-Acid, Li-Fe, and TPPL) and charging methods (opportunity charge and manual or automatic battery exchange). There is also an option to configure this vehicle for outdoor use.
