Autonomous Lift Trucks Emerge

But if you continue to ignore autonomous lift trucks, you stand a chance of being really alone, if you get the drift here. (Editors’ note: Despite the temptation to create a new acronym for autonomous lift trucks, we’re going to spare you that. Acronym aside, we’re now at a point where there’s too much risk to simply avoid evaluation of autonomous lift trucks any longer. So rather than buying an autonomous lift truck per se, says Pedriana, you’re actually buying a lift truck with the capability to move goods unrestrained by labor availability. “The ultimate goal,” says Gaskell, “is to produce autonomous trucks with increased speed and throughput that allows operations to move more pallets with fewer vehicles.”It’s important to note that autonomous lift trucks can be both more and less autonomous.
