HAMMER Autonomous Forklift: Heavy-Duty Intelligence for Modern Logistics

HAMMER is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications with a 1,500kg standard load capacity (up to 2,000kg in the heavy-duty variant), making it ideal for manufacturing facilities and warehouses handling substantial payloads. The Mini Autonomous Forklift is optimized for compact spaces and lighter loads (500kg), perfect for narrow aisles, retail backrooms, and small-scale operations. Both share the same Laser SLAM navigation technology and safety systems, but HAMMER features enhanced motor power, larger battery capacity, and industrial-grade construction for 24/7 operations.

HAMMER's advanced Laser SLAM + Visual SLAM fusion system continuously scans the environment at 10Hz, creating and updating maps in real-time. When encountering dynamic obstacles (moving personnel, temporary equipment, or changing layouts), the AI-powered path planning algorithm recalculates routes within milliseconds. The system distinguishes between permanent structures (which update the base map) and temporary obstacles (which trigger immediate avoidance). This dual-layer approach ensures HAMMER operates safely and efficiently even in highly dynamic facilities with constantly changing floor layouts.

LiFePO4 batteries require minimal maintenance compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. No watering, equalization charging, or acid handling is necessary. We recommend monthly visual inspections of battery connections and quarterly cleaning of the battery compartment. The Battery Management System (BMS) automatically handles cell balancing and thermal management. With 3,000+ charge cycles and an 8-year expected lifespan, the total cost of ownership is significantly lower than conventional batteries. Automatic opportunity charging during idle periods maximizes uptime and battery longevity.

The standard HAMMER model operates in temperatures from 0°C to 45°C. For cold storage applications (0°C to -25°C), we offer a specialized Cold Storage variant with heated battery compartments, condensation-resistant electronics, and low-temperature lubricants. This variant maintains full performance in freezer environments while preserving battery efficiency and component reliability. Contact our sales team to discuss your specific cold chain requirements and facility conditions.

Most customers achieve full ROI within 12-18 months, depending on operational parameters. Key factors include: labor cost savings (1 HAMMER replaces 2-3 shifts of manual forklift operators), reduced product damage (AI precision reduces incidents by 85%), increased throughput (24/7 operation without breaks), and elimination of infrastructure costs (no magnetic tape or QR code installation). Our downloadable ROI Calculator helps you model specific savings based on your facility's labor rates, shift patterns, and operational volume. Several customers report payback periods as short as 8 months in high-throughput environments.
