Autonomous Pallet Truck
Big Joe Forklifts has introduced the AP44, a 4,400 lb. capacity autonomous pallet truck designed to augment the workforce by transporting palletized goods.
In manual mode, it functions as a standard electric pallet truck. Semi-autonomous mode lets an operator engage the pallet, step away and let the unit handle transport and drop-off autonomously. Fully-autonomous mode requires no operator involvement, executing a variety of horizontal transport missions independently.
Teams can run all three modes within the same operation, scaling autonomy task-by-task rather than committing to a single workflow.
