At LogiMAT 2026, STILL introduced a real milestone in intralogistics: the primary market-ready, series-produced resolution for the self sustaining loading and unloading of lorries – with out the will for any desk bound security era on the dock. With the AXL 15 iGo low carry pallet truck, the Hamburg-based intralogistics specialist is ultimate one of the vital final primary gaps in warehouse automation: the dealing with of incoming and outgoing items on the truck loading ramp.
Automation has reached the dock
The dock house is characterized by means of time power, body of workers shortages, evening paintings and difficult running prerequisites – starting from excessive temperatures in summer season to low temperatures in iciness. As well as, demanding situations equivalent to restricted area, converting trailer geometries and stringent security necessities will have to be triumph over. Whilst many firms have lengthy automatic high-bay warehouses, conveyor era and interior delivery, the loading and unloading of lorries has hardly ever been thought to be appropriate for commercial automation – till now. “With the AXL 15 iGo, we’re ultimate a long-standing hole in intralogistics by means of making automatic truck loading and unloading standardised and extensively obtainable for the primary time,” explains Dr Florian Heydenreich, Managing Director Gross sales & Provider at STILL. “Our resolution makes the receipt and dispatch of products extra environment friendly, more secure, extra predictable and extra dependable. Standardising loading and unloading processes creates reproducible workflows. This considerably will increase procedure steadiness and transparency. On the identical time, it’s every other necessary pillar of our technique to provide scalable automation answers for all spaces of intralogistics.”
30 pallets in 35 mins – self sustaining, versatile, secure
The self sustaining AXL 15 iGo low carry pallet truck has been specifically advanced for loading and unloading lorries. Two cars running in combination can autonomously load as much as 30 EPAL pallets right into a trailer in round 35 mins. Due to cutting edge localisation and positioning common sense mixed with a brand new, holistic security idea, the pallet truck can independently recognise the prerequisites within the trailer and place the pallets as it should be. Of explicit pastime to customers is the truth that the AXL 15 iGo does no longer require an extra safety-at-the-gate idea involving desk bound installations, equivalent to scanners or reflectors, within the dock or trailer. This makes the answer extremely versatile, fast to put into effect, and simple to make use of.
Good applied sciences for security and precision in confined areas
To make sure secure dealing with and exact navigation, the AXL 15 iGo makes use of two other applied sciences. Out of doors the trailer, it employs fashionable 3-d visible SLAM era. The usage of sensors, it could reliably hit upon when a lorry strikes clear of the dock impulsively right through the loading procedure, and can then mechanically prevent – each when coming into the trailer and when returning to the warehouse. As soon as within the trailer, the gadget mechanically switches to LiDAR-based localisation, enabling centimetre-precise operation and most flexibility. LiDAR security scanners, digicam programs, and visible and acoustic caution indicators make sure that folks and stumbling blocks are reliably detected and secure, even in probably the most confined areas. Built-in 3-d pallet reputation additionally permits the secure dealing with of quite misaligned or poorly situated pallets in mounted places.
Appropriate to be used throughout a couple of industries
The AXL 15 iGo is a specifically appropriate resolution for industries with excessive pallet turnover and standardised loading devices, equivalent to 3PL provider suppliers, meals and retail logistics firms, and producers. With a load capability of as much as 1,500 kg and a velocity of as much as 2 m/s, the AXL 15 iGo meets commercial necessities. Scalable fleet integration can also be completed by means of the usual VDA 5050 interface and a fleet supervisor, in addition to by means of open interfaces (API) to warehouse control programs.
International premiere at LogiMAT 2026 – to be had now!
STILL introduced the AXL 15 iGo to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT 2026. The car is to be had now. “Our consumers need answers which might be readily to be had. That’s why we intentionally opted for a sensible commercial release,” explains Dr Florian Heydenreich. “The AXL 15 iGo isn’t an idea learn about, however a market-ready resolution for the self sustaining loading and unloading of arduous and comfortable wall trailers inside obviously outlined parameters.”
