Overview

The Vecna AFL is a versatile driverless automated forklift designed for dynamic, real-world environments. It handles vertical lifts, tight spaces, and mixed-traffic zones, boosting throughput and freeing up workforce for higher-value tasks. With a lift height of up to 60 inches and a payload capacity of 3000 lbs, it can manage a wide range of pallet types and workflows, including ground-to-ground, conveyor belt, and riser lifts. The AFL features intuitive interfaces, LPN scanning, and opportunistic charging, making it suitable for various warehouse applications such as picking, putaway, conveyors, risers, packaging, and cross-docking. It operates in narrow aisles as narrow as 9 feet and complies with ANSI B56.5 safety standards.
