Vecna AFL Autonomous Forklift Review: Specs and Uses of the 3,000 lb Autonomous Forklift
Updated: 7 days ago
The Vecna AFL is an autonomous forklift for moving pallets between floor locations, conveyors and staging areas. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The AFL is built for horizontal pallet flows rather than high racking. It lifts up to 3,000 lb to 60 inches, enough for conveyors, wrappers and staging, and its right-angle stack is 15 ft 6 in. It is fast: 6.7 mph, maintained in 9 ft aisles. Navigation is route-free with obstacle avoidance and dynamic routing, and it scans pallet licence plates and updates the WMS. Wireless autonomous charging from a Delta Electronics pad serves several robots, and opportunistic charging supports 24/7 work. It complies with ANSI B56.5. Dimensions are on the spec sheet.
