What is it?
The Vecna Robotics Pallet Pro is an autonomous pallet jack AMR that replaces manual electric pallet jack operators for floor-level pallet transport in warehouse and distribution environments. It performs the full pallet jack workflow autonomously: navigate to pallet, engage forks, lift, transport, lower, disengage.
Who is it for?
Distribution centres, e-commerce fulfilment operations, and 3PLs with high-frequency floor-level pallet movement. Operations with repetitive pallet transport between receiving docks, storage aisles, and pick staging areas. Facilities seeking to automate the highest-volume and most labour-intensive floor transport task.
Key specs
- Payload: 1360 kg
- Function: Autonomous pallet jack (floor-level pallet transport)
- Navigation: Autonomous SLAM with dynamic obstacle avoidance
- Pallet handling: Autonomous fork engagement and disengagement
- Integration: Vecna Pivotal fleet orchestration
- Safety: Industrial laser scanner safety systems
- Origin: US
Applications
Receiving dock to storage transport, storage to pick staging, outbound pallet staging, inter-zone pallet movement in large distribution centres.
How it compares
Pallet Pro competes with Linde's autonomous pallet truck, Jungheinrich EKS AMR, and Fetch Robotics CartConnect in the autonomous pallet jack segment. Vecna's Pivotal orchestration platform coordinating across CB2, Pallet Pro, and Freight is the key multi-platform differentiator.
Limitations
- Floor-level only — cannot perform vertical stacking (requires separate forklift)
- Requires accessible pallet positions (not deep-lane storage)
- Pallet condition (damaged pallets) may affect fork engagement
- Route programming required for new destination configurations
FAQ
Can Pallet Pro pick up pallets from the floor autonomously?
Yes. Pallet Pro autonomously navigates to a pallet location, engages its forks under the pallet, lifts, transports to the designated destination, lowers, and disengages — performing the complete pallet jack workflow without human intervention.
Can Pallet Pro stack pallets in high-bay racking?
No. Pallet Pro is a floor-level pallet jack AMR. It cannot perform vertical lifting into racking. High-bay storage requires autonomous reach trucks or counterbalance forklifts.
How much does Pallet Pro weigh and what is its footprint?
Physical dimensions and weight specifications should be requested from Vecna Robotics, as they affect aisle width and floor loading requirements for facility planning.
What software manages Pallet Pro?
Pallet Pro is managed through Vecna Robotics' Pivotal fleet orchestration platform, which coordinates task allocation across the full Vecna AMR fleet.
