SAFELOG X1 Review: Specs and Uses of the 1,200 kg Lifting Mobile Transport Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The SAFELOG X1 is a compact, nearly square mobile transport robot for loads of 1,200 kg, from the German maker SAFELOG. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its versions, specifications and uses.
Quick Verdict
The X1 is SAFELOG's goods-to-person and pallet-carrier vehicle. On a footprint of 84 by 82 cm it lifts 1,200 kg, more than five times its own weight of 210 kg. The X1 spin adds a turntable, so the load can keep its orientation while the vehicle turns, or be presented to a worker from any side. Besides track and LiDAR methods it navigates by grid codes, the usual method for shelf-carrying fleets.
