AutoXing develops autonomous forklifts and pallet robots for automated material handling in warehouses, industrial facilities, and logistics operations. The vehicles perform repetitive pallet movements between designated handover points, helping businesses make internal processes more predictable. The product range includes autonomous pallet trucks, reach trucks, and counterbalance forklifts. Depending on the model, they can move loads of up to 2,000 kg. The right solution depends on the pallet size, lift height, aisles, and existing operational processes.
Autonomous forklifts for modern intralogistics
In many businesses, pallets are transported daily between receiving, storage, production, and shipping. An autonomous forklift can handle such standardized routes. Instead of manually driving to each destination, the driverless transport system follows digitally planned routes and stops at designated handover stations.
This relieves employees of repetitive transport tasks and frees up capacity for order picking, inspections, and other activities. This makes it easier to coordinate material flow, especially in warehouse and production environments with regular material requirements.

FT2000: Autonomous pallet truck for transport tasks
The AutoXing FT2000 is designed for the horizontal transport of suitable pallets. For example, it connects goods receiving, intermediate storage, staging areas, and production stations. With a load capacity of up to 2,000 kg, the FT2000 series is suitable for heavy, regularly recurring pallet movements.
According to the manufacturer, the updated version features more advanced sensors and functions for demanding warehouse environments. For concrete planning, in addition to the payload, aisle width, turning areas, floor conditions, and the design of the handover points are also crucial. The appropriate FT2000 version is selected based on the load profile and operational requirements.
FS1500 and FB2000: Lifting and storing pallets
Not every transport task ends on the ground. For suitable lifting and storage processes, AutoXing offers additional vehicle types. The FS1500 is an autonomous reach truck, while the FB2000 is designed as a counterbalance forklift.
Both types differ from a conventional pallet truck particularly in their load capacity and possible lifting tasks. Whether a model is suitable for a specific rack, handover station, or pallet size must be checked using the exact vehicle data. Load capacity, center of gravity, and maximum lift height are just as important as the available maneuvering space.
Intelligent navigation without fixed guide rails
AutoXing uses digital mapping and sensor-based navigation for its pallet robots. Depending on the vehicle equipment, LiDAR sensors support orientation, while transport destinations and routes are stored in the control system.
This makes it possible to implement suitable internal routes without permanently installed guide rails. If warehouse areas are redesigned or material handovers changed, the route planning can be adapted to the specific project. This makes autonomous transport robots particularly attractive to companies whose intralogistics must keep pace with new production lines, warehouse zones, or seasonal goods volumes.
Obstacle detection and safe traffic routes
In warehouse halls, pallet robots often share traffic areas with employees, hand-operated vehicles, or other machines. Model-dependent sensors can detect obstacles and enable appropriate reactions such as braking or stopping.
However, a safe introduction requires more than equipping the vehicle: traffic routes, meeting areas, handover points, and operational processes must be considered together. A risk assessment and an appropriate safety concept are also part of the project planning. The actually available safety functions and their implementation depend on the model, configuration, and operating environment.
Automated pallet transport from receiving to shipping
Repetitive transport occurs along the entire value chain: delivered pallets are received, production lines are supplied with material, and finished goods are brought to shipping preparation.
AutoXing pallet robots can automate suitable sections of these processes and connect them with fixed handover points. This is particularly useful for regular routes, clear loading units, and traceable process steps.
In combination with automated palletizing and depalletizing, material provision and transport between workstations can be coordinated.
Fleet management and connection to operational systems
If several autonomous forklifts are used, central order and fleet management becomes increasingly important. Suitable management solutions allow transport orders to be coordinated, vehicle statuses monitored, and repetitive processes structured.
Depending on the project, a connection to warehouse management systems (WMS), production systems, or other operational applications can also be considered. The actually available interfaces and the existing IT landscape are crucial.
For further automation, such as handover to machines or workstations, solutions from the Assembly and Handling area may also be relevant.
Charging infrastructure and operation in daily shifts
The offered AutoXing range includes suitable charging stations. Operating time and required charging intervals depend, among other things, on the vehicle model, load weight, transport routes, and intensity of use.
Depending on the equipment, charging processes can be included in the operational planning or automated. Therefore, companies should consider not only the desired number of transports, but also buffer times, charging spaces, and possible peak loads.
Realistic utilization planning helps avoid interruptions during critical production or shipping phases.
Profitability and selection of the right pallet robot
Whether a driverless forklift is economically viable depends on the actual transport volume. Important factors are trips per shift, average transport time, personnel allocation, operating hours, and integration costs.
The quality of the pallets and the spatial conditions also influence the automation effort. A sensible starting point is therefore the analysis of a frequently recurring transport route with a clear starting and ending point.
Subsequently, it can be assessed whether a pallet truck, reach truck, or counterbalance forklift is suitable for the task and how the solution can be expanded step by step.
Planning AutoXing pallet robots with Terra Robotics
Terra Robotics supports companies in selecting and planning suitable AutoXing solutions for warehouse automation and internal pallet transport.
The basis is the actual requirements on site: loads and load carriers, route lengths, aisle widths, handover points, shift model, and desired system integration. This results in a project-specific recommendation for vehicle type, transport process, and required infrastructure.
