Hachidori - Autonomous Pallet Jack

An Autonomous Pallet Jack is an AMR-powered pallet mover that lifts, transports, and deposits standard palletised loads without any human operator. It replaces the manual electric pallet jack — one of the most labour-intensive and accident-prone pieces of warehouse equipment on the floor — with a fully autonomous, sensor-guided machine that operates safely alongside your workforce.

Hachidori’s Autonomous Pallet Jack combines Wireless Natural Navigation navigation, precision pallet lifts, and an integrated pallet conveyor interface to deliver consistent, damage-free pallet movement across warehouses, distribution centres, and production facilities. It is a cornerstone of modern warehouse automation and factory automation strategies — operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, fully integrated with your WMS and ERP systems.

For purchase managers and operations decision-makers evaluating warehouse automation robots, the Autonomous Pallet Jack delivers a proven, infrastructure-free path to intralogistics automation — with ROI typically achieved within 12–18 months.

Key features of the Autonomous Pallet Jack

Wireless Natural Navigation

Hachidori's patented Wireless Natural Navigation — no magnetic strips, floor markers, or fixed infrastructure required. Adapts dynamically to changing warehouse layouts.

Heavy-Duty Pallet Lifts

Precision pallet lifts handle standard Euro and CHEP pallets up to 1500 kg with sub-centimetre fork entry accuracy — eliminating pallet damage and load drops.

Pallet Conveyor Compatibility

Natively interfaces with pallet conveyor systems, racking infeed points, and staging zones — enabling seamless, automated pallet flow from receiving to dispatch.

Advanced Safety Sensors

2D LiDAR, depth camera, crash bumper, tower lamp, and emergency stop ensure safe co-existence with human workers across active warehouse and factory floors.

Flexible Route Optimisation

Dynamic routing recalculates paths in real time around obstacles, traffic, and changing floor configurations — maximising throughput at all times.

Real-Time Fleet Monitoring

Live dashboards display pallet mover status, task queues, cycle counts, and performance KPIs — giving managers full visibility across the fleet.

WMS & ERP Integration

Connects natively with WMS and ERP systems via VDA 5050. Supports SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics for fast, plug-and-play deployment.

Continuous Operation Battery

48V rechargeable battery with hot-swappable option ensures zero-downtime operations across two- and three-shift production environments.

Sub-Centimetre Positioning

Achieves <1 cm positioning accuracy with optional enhanced sensors — enabling precise fork insertion at racking, conveyor infeed, and staging locations.

How the Autonomous Pallet Jack Works

From receiving a move task from your WMS to completing a precision pallet deposit — here is the end-to-end workflow of Hachidori’s autonomous pallet mover.

Receives Task

Move instruction from WMS or ERP — source location, pallet ID, destination.

Navigates to Pick

LiDAR pathfinding to source pallet location — rack, floor, or staging area.

Precision Pallet Lift

Forks align with sub-cm accuracy and lift the palletised load safely.

Transports Load

Safely moves the full pallet load across warehouse or factory floor.

Deposits Pallet

Precision placement at destination — racking infeed, conveyor, or drop zone.

Updates System

Real-time task completion sync with WMS/ERP — inventory updated instantly.

Pallet Jack Use Cases in Warehouses & Factories

The Hachidori Autonomous Pallet Jack replaces manual pallet movers across the most demanding intralogistics solutions scenarios. Key applications where it delivers the strongest operational impact:

Goods-In & Receiving

Automatically moves incoming pallets from the unloading bay or transport dock to receiving stations, staging zones, or racking — eliminating manual forklift runs at the dock door.

Warehouse Replenishment

Transfers bulk pallets from reserve storage to pick faces on demand, triggered automatically by WMS replenishment signals — a key driver of warehouse automation efficiency.

Production Line Supply

Delivers raw material pallets to assembly line infeed points and retrieves empty pallets — keeping production running without human intervention as part of a wider factory automation strategy.

Pallet Conveyor Infeed & Outfeed

Interfaces directly with pallet conveyor systems — automatically feeding and removing pallets at conveyor entry and exit points for uninterrupted automated material flow.

Despatch & Outbound Staging

Moves finished goods pallets to outbound staging lanes and loading bays — precisely timed to despatch schedules without manual coordination.

Empty Pallet Management

Automatically collects and consolidates empty pallets from production, packing, and pick zones — returning them to pallet pools without dedicated manual labour.

Industries & Applications

Hachidori’s Autonomous Pallet Jack is deployed across industries where pallet movement is frequent, high-volume, and critical to operational throughput. Any facility currently using manual electric pallet jacks, ride-on pallet movers, or labour-intensive pallet handling is a strong candidate for autonomous pallet jack deployment as part of a broader warehouse automation or factory automation programme.

Frequently Asked Questions — Autonomous Pallet Jack

An Autonomous Pallet Jack is a fully self-guided AMR robot that navigates, picks up, transports, and deposits pallets without any human operator. Unlike a standard electric pallet jack — which requires a trained operator to drive it — the autonomous version receives tasks from your WMS or ERP, plans its own route, executes the pallet lift with sub-centimetre accuracy, and syncs completion data back to your systems automatically. It operates 24/7 and eliminates the labour cost, accident risk, and shift dependency of manual pallet jacks.
The Autonomous Pallet Jack handles standard Euro pallets (1200×800 mm), CHEP pallets, and other common pallet formats up to 1500 kg. Custom fork configurations are available for non-standard pallet sizes. It is also compatible with pallet conveyor infeed and outfeed points, making it suitable for integration into automated pallet flow systems.
No. Hachidori’s Autonomous Pallet Jack uses patented Wireless Natural Navigation — it does not require floor markers, magnetic strips, fixed tracks, or any civil works. You can deploy within your existing warehouse layout and begin operations quickly, making it one of the fastest paths to warehouse automation for any facility.
Yes. The Autonomous Pallet Jack integrates natively with WMS and ERP platforms via the VDA 5050 standard, supporting SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and most major warehouse management systems. Task assignment, completion confirmation, and inventory updates all flow through your existing system — making it a true plug-and-play intralogistics automation solution.
The robot is equipped with 2D LiDAR sensors, an optional depth camera, a crash bumper, a tower warning lamp, and an emergency stop system. It continuously scans its surroundings and decelerates or stops when workers or obstacles are detected — making it safe for co-deployment with human staff across active warehouse and factory floors.
Customers typically achieve full ROI within 12–18 months. Efficiency improvements of 30–50% over manual pallet movers are standard, alongside significant reductions in labour costs, pallet damage, and workplace incidents. The exact ROI depends on pallet volumes, number of shifts, and current labour costs — use the calculator above or speak to our automation team for a personalised analysis.
Yes. The Autonomous Pallet Jack features in-place rotation capability and is designed for high-precision operation in narrow-aisle warehouse environments. It navigates congested areas, cross-dock zones, and tight factory corridors without requiring wide turning clearances.
The robot runs on a 48V, 27AH rechargeable battery. Both manual charging and hot-swappable battery options are available, enabling continuous 24/7 operation across two- and three-shift environments without downtime for charging.
Yes. The Autonomous Pallet Jack can be configured for cold chain and temperature-controlled warehouse environments. Please contact our sales team for cold storage specifications and operating temperature ranges applicable to your facility requirements.
