Open Shuttle Fork: Our Autonomous Mobile Robot for Pallet Transport
The demands on production and distribution are high. Businesses need to react quickly to rapidly changing processes, shortages of qualified personnel and lack of space. Our autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for pallet transport are the ideal first step toward solving these challenges by automating your warehouse.
The AMRs keep work stations supplied optimally and flexibly while connecting different warehouse areas with goods-in and goods-out. Furthermore, their impact on the warehouse environment is minimal and they can be installed without any need for construction. Automate your internal pallet transport with our Open Shuttle Fork robots today!

Innovating AMRs for pallet transport
Our Open Shuttle Fork is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that transports pallets flexibly and efficiently. What makes it special are its numerous functions, its diverse applications and how little space it requires. Plus, its 3D obstacle detection means it is safe to use in the warehouse. The industrial vehicle can rotate around its own axis, drive sideways and has a completely electric lifter.
Thanks to its intelligent software, the AMR can be integrated into the warehouse quickly and start transporting pallets without requiring any changes to the existing infrastructure. Additionally, travel paths, processes and layouts can be adapted very quickly. Open Shuttle Fork offers the perfect starting point for automation thanks to its short delivery and installation times.

Pallet transport made easy with AMRs
Open Shuttle Fork boasts a unique combination of characteristics that make it ideal for diverse applications.
Uses for the AMR for palett transport at a glance:
- Internal pallet transport
- Supplying work stations and production lines
- Support for mobile picking
- Connection to manual or automatic pallet storage systems
- Complementing existing pallet conveyor systems
- Supplying kanban racks, flow racks and pallet racks
- Special transport jobs
The Open Shuttle Fork turns on a dime and is great for compact layouts with narrower aisles. Best thing is, you can get it at a very competitive price.

= the perfect solution for production supply and internal transport at Fronius
Fronius is a worldwide leader in battery charging, welding systems and solar energy. In Sattledt, Austria, Fronius manufactures welding systems for industry, inverters for photovoltaic systems and charging devices for forklift trucks. The existing production hall with 41,000 m² (441,000 ft²) was expanded by a hall with 28,000 m² (301,000 ft²) last year. Fronius selected our AMRs to serve as the connecting link to the new hall. Using the Open Shuttle Fork gives a real boost to production supply and internal transport at Fronius.
We chose KNAPP because their system allows us a very high level of autonomy. We can adapt the paths ourselves and add stations. This makes us faster and more cost-efficient in our overall operation in comparison to other systems.
