Muratec Premex SLX Review: Features and Uses of the SLAM-Guided Automated Forklift
Updated: 7 days ago
The Muratec Premex SLX is an automated forklift designed to be added to existing warehouses. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The SLX has two features that set it apart from most automated forklifts. Its multidrive system moves the truck sideways and turns it through 90 degrees, so it lines up with machines and works in narrow aisles. And its lift uses electric cylinders without oil, which removes the leak risk of hydraulics in pharmaceutical and food plants. Guidance is by SLAM, so few reflectors or floor magnets are needed and routes can be changed easily. Muratec also presents it as a way to turn existing pallet racks and mobile racks into an automated warehouse. The page gives no payload, lift height or speed.
