Shipping Lane Delivery

Autonomous transport of pallet payloads from storage to shipping docks

Shipping Lane Delivery

Let AMRs do the heavy lifting

As consumer demand continues to grow along with a greater diversity of SKUs, distribution operations are increasingly under pressure to deliver more, faster. And pallet conveyance requires a significant percentage of the workforce in many operations, including labor to operate forklifts, pallet lifters, and even conveyor systems in some operations.

Although forklifts are capable of moving heavy loads, qualified drivers require training and certification, and can be hard to come by in today’s tight labor market. They’re also one of the leading causes of warehouse injuries: an average of 34,900 serious injuries and 61,800 minor injuries each year, according to OSHA. That’s at least one accident per year for 11% of all forklifts currently in use in the U.S.

Introducing Shipping Lane Delivery with PalletTransport1500

AMRs can help solve these challenges by providing automation on-demand. This cost-effective solution increases your operational savings by reducing or eliminating the number of forklifts and operators your business requires for transport.
