This “Simple Setup Smart Pallet Truck” combines the ease of our entry-level electric pallet truck with autonomous capabilities, redefining automated pallet handling with unmatched simplicity.
What is the EXP15?
The EXP15 is designed for businesses ready to transition from manual to automated pallet handling without complex setup or high costs. It is an Easy Electric Pallet Truck + Autonomous Pallet Truck hybrid, offering basic A-to-B pallet transportation in a straightforward, user-friendly package. This new launch expands upon our legacy with the EPT20-15ET, which revolutionised electric pallet trucks for the industry in 2012. Now, we are bringing that simplicity-driven change to automation, creating a new entry point for automated material handling.
The Evolution of Automation: From EPT20-15ET to EXP15
Our journey to simplify material handling began in 2012 with the EPT20-15ET, an entry-level electric pallet truck that quickly became a standard in the industry. By turning manual handling electric, we created a wave that saw the market for electric pallet trucks grow to over 800,000 units within a decade. Now, with the EXP15, we’re taking the journey of simplicity further into automation, making the shift to autonomous operations as straightforward and accessible as possible.
