About the A-MATE® Counter

A-MATE® Counter is K.Hartwall's counterbalanced autonomous forklift robot for loads that cannot be accessed by a conventional straddle-style AMR. Its cantilevered free-standing forks allow it to pick up closed pallets, lattice boxes and other load carriers directly from floors, shelves and conveyors while handling loads up to 1,000 kg and lifting them as high as 1.1 m. The robot combines bidirectional mobility with contour-based LiDAR navigation, smart pallet detection, 3D load detection, 3D obstacle detection and explicit autonomous obstacle avoidance. Unlike hydraulic counterbalanced forklifts, its FreeLift mechanism is fully electric. VDA 5050 support, centralized fleet management and A-GATE middleware make it suitable for integration into larger automated manufacturing and warehouse material-flow systems.

Typical applications: Logistics & Warehousing, Manufacturing & Industrial Operations, Intralogistics.
