Very impressive: Automatic goods transport with ARNY

If heavy loads have to be lifted in the warehouse, a forklift is indispensable. However, traditional industrial trucks usually require a lot of space to maneuver and can only be operated safely by trained staff. Would you like to optimize the use of space in your warehouse, reduce the risk of accidents and damage and make your goods transport even more efficient? In that case, our ARNY counterbalanced truck is your solution!

The self-driving forklift from DS AUTOMOTION, the AGV expert of the SSI SCHAEFER Group, is ideal for large load carriers of all kinds and, thanks to its compact design, can also be used in narrow aisles of more than 3.8 meters wide. It navigates independently and transfers loads particularly quickly thanks to its small turning radius. ARNY shows its true strength when things get too heavy for others: With a bearing capacity of up to 2.5 tons, it can lift your pallets, mesh boxes etc. to a height of up to 8.5 meters!

Versatile loads

Our autonomous industrial truck can pick up to two euro pallets or industrial pallets and can also lift other large load carriers such as boxes, bins or special goods. This is where ARNY shows its adaptability: The fork arms can be adjusted automatically as required to suit the load in question.

Autonomous precision

State-of-the-art sensor technology and smart software make ARNY a real precision vehicle. This makes it easy to use in the narrowest of aisles, improves ergonomics and protects materials.

Absolute safety

For comprehensive staff protection and property protection, ARNY has three integrated safety scanners and a 3D camera in the main direction of travel.

You can rely on ARNY! Even when things don’t run smoothly: All of the components of our counterbalanced trucks can be checked and replaced. This means your AGV is ready for use again as quickly as possible and your maintenance costs remain low.

Optimum scalability

Not only can your ARNY fleet be expanded with additional vehicles at any time – it can also be combined with other automated guided vehicles using the standardized VDA 5050 interface. This means your system grows with your requirements
