HaiPick A42T-E2 Review: Specs and Uses of the 12 m Telescopic Grappling-Hook Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The HaiPick A42T-E2 is a case-handling robot from Hai Robotics that combines a telescopic mast with a grappling hook. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The A42T-E2 joins the two ideas of Hai's range: the 12 m telescopic lift of the A42T and the hook of the E6S. It stores totes three deep with the gap between them cut to 40 mm and no space front to back, which Hai says optimizes storage space by 89%. It can draw up to three interlocked totes from the rack in one pick and carries up to eight. Lift speed is up to 0.93 m/s, and the robot passes through 5 m or 6 m doors with its mast retracted. The LFP battery fast-charges in 39 minutes for 6.6 hours or more. Hai states 63 totes per hour. The page's short description says five totes per pick while the body says three.
