AutoMate your load carrier movements

A-MATE® FreeLift

A-MATE® FreeLift is an intelligent mobile robot designed to transport logistic units such as pallets and containers in production and logistics environments such as warehouses and sorting centers.

 

As a Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) it is completely autonomous and does not need an on-board operator or driver.

Slim design and omnidrive of A-MATE save time and money

Benefits of A-MATE® FreeLift

The key advantages of our AGV include its very slim design as well as the omnidirectional drive system, making it highly manoevrable and efficient even in tight spaces.

 

The powerful electric free lift (no scissors under the forks) allows floor-to-floor load handling as well as handling from racks and conveyors – with a maximum load of 1,000 kg and up to one metre in height. With a scanner coverage of 360° it also ensures maximum Health & Safety.
