Our powerful and modular EKX 516a excels as an Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGV-S) based on our proven EKX electric high-level combination order picker/three-lateral stacker.

The EKXa is characterized by a maximum performance at lift heights up to 13,000 mm and sets benchmarks in automated narrow-aisle warehouses.

Equipped with an 80-V drive system and a maintenance-free synchronous reluctance motor, it achieves new performance standards while reducing energy loss at the same time.

Thanks to the optional integration of an onboard battery charger, bus bar, and current collector, it is optimally prepared for 24/7 use.

The field-tested wire guidance in combination with RFID transponders ensures precise positioning at the storage location as well as automatic aisle changes.

With the option of automation in stages, you can benefit from the maximum availability, efficiency, and performance of your warehouse processes.

✔ Gradual automation

✔ Maintenance-free synchronous reluctance motor

✔ Different options for pallet stacking and retrieval

✔ Optional on-board battery charger for 24/7 operation

✔ Planning, implementation, and after sales support from a single source
