Updated: 7 days ago
DS Automotion ARNY is a driverless forklift that stacks pallets high in narrow aisles. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
ARNY covers the high-rack end of automated forklifts. Four masts lift 1,500, 4,500, 7,450 or 10,800 mm, with payloads from 1.5 t on the mono down to 1.0 t on the HD triplex. It moves at up to 1.5 m/s, navigates by SLAM, laser or magnetic spots, and is built compactly for narrow aisles. A Siemens ET200SP F safety PLC with PROFIsafe and IO-Link allows use under higher safety requirements.
