Automated Compact Truck (ACT) – High‑Performance AGV Forklift for Advanced Warehouse Automation

The Automated Compact Truck (ACT) is a next‑generation AGV forklift engineered for facilities looking to elevate their warehouse automation strategy. Designed for precision, durability and intelligent movement in tight spaces, the ACT provides exceptional performance in both warehouse and production environments. It integrates seamlessly with manual forklifts and other automated systems, supporting businesses aiming to modernise their automated pallet handling operations.

Compact Design for Narrow‑Aisle Heavy Lifting

The ACT combines a strong hydraulic system with a compact chassis, enabling effortless manoeuvring in ultra‑narrow aisles without requiring modifications to existing racking.

• Operates in aisles as narrow as 6 m
• Lifts up to 6,000 mm
• Handles heavy loads with high stability and precision

This makes the ACT ideal for facilities aiming to increase storage density as part of their wider warehouse automation upgrade.
