A-MATE® Counter

Handles Closed Load Carriers

Counterbalanced design and free-standing forks make it easy to lift loads that standard systems cannot access.

Flexible Material Flow

Handles multiple load types and process layouts across production areas and warehouse operations.

Safe, Precise Navigation

360° scanner coverage, LiDAR navigation, and 3D load detection support accurate, collision-free movement.

Low Maintenance Operation

Electric drives, no hydraulics, and shared A-MATE® components help ensure reliable performance and high uptime.
