Not Every Load Is a Pallet. Not Every Aisle Has Room for One.

The Sherpa Mecha and Sherpa Lifter handle pallets, trolleys, racks, and mixed loads in tight, complex environments where standard AMRs and forklifts can't operate effectively. Configurable. Precise. Built for the most demanding material handling scenarios.

We Don't Solve Everything. We Solve the Right Things.

The Sherpa Lifter is the first-in-class dual 3D LiDAR natural navigation AMR — configurable for tunneling, lifting, and roller-top applications. The Sherpa Mecha brings next-generation humanoid robotics into real-world manufacturing environments. Together, they handle the material types and spaces that standard AMRs can't reach.

Workflows, Not Machines
Lifting & Handling is organized around the loads and environments that demand more adaptability — constrained aisles, mixed load types, and complex workflows.
Engineered for Specificity
The Mecha and Lifter are built for specific applications — configurable for tunneling, lifting, and roller-top scenarios with up to 1,000 kg lifting capacity.
Connected Through Intelligence
Fleet Manager coordinates Mecha and Lifter deployments across your floor — mission dispatching, conflict resolution, and complete real-time monitoring in one unified system.

When the Load Isn't Standard, the Robot Has to Be.

The Sherpa Lifter enhances warehouse efficiency by transporting pallets, trolleys, racks, and magazines effortlessly — with precision in-place turning for confined areas and high-speed operation up to 1.5 m/s. Where larger equipment can't reach, the Lifter delivers autonomous, repeatable material movement with no facility modifications required.

Designed for the Environments That Stop Other Robots Cold

Compact, adaptive, and built to work in the tightest and most variable spaces on your floor — from narrow pharma aisles to complex automotive sub-assembly cells.

Lifting & Handling robot in tight aisle

Tight-Aisle Navigation Without Infrastructure Modification

Narrow aisles, high-density storage, and constrained production spaces are where Lifting & Handling performs best. No floor modification, no aisle widening — natural navigation adapts to your facility.

Handling varied load types in production facility

Bins, Totes, Racks, Carts — One Platform, Multiple Formats

The Mecha and Lifter adapt to the load types that are actually on your floor — pallets, trolleys, racks, and magazines — with configurable attachments and no costly custom fixtures.

Robot and human collaborative workspace

Works Where People Work. Safely.

Built for shared human-robot environments. 3D LiDAR awareness, ISO-3691-4 safety compliance, and fail-safe mechanical braking — designed for the busy, unstructured spaces on your floor.
