SEER Robotics PalletTruck 1000 (SPT-1000)

Most pallet trucks ask a person to walk behind them all day; the SEER Robotics PalletTruck 1000 (SPT-1000) is built to do that walk by itself. It is a compact autonomous pallet truck that finds its own way with laser SLAM and picks up and sets down pallets without an operator on the handle. For a warehouse or factory with narrow aisles and repetitive transport runs, that changes how a shift is staffed.

The SPT-1000 is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

SEER Robotics and its lineage

SEER Robotics (06106.HK) describes itself as a platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company built around the Robot Brain. It serves more than 2,500 customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions. That scale matters to a buyer in the Caribbean, because it means the control software and navigation methods behind the SPT-1000 are used in many different sites and layouts, not only in one showcase installation.

The company's range covers several types of autonomous handling vehicles. The full group of pallet trucks sits in the Pallet Trucks category, where you can compare the SPT-1000 with its siblings.

Positioning and key technology

The SPT-1000 is a low-profile pallet truck for ground-level pallet transport. Its navigation type is Laser SLAM, and the robot also supports other navigation methods such as reflectors and NFL. The lidar set-up is one H1E0 / Mid-360 unit plus four C214 units, which gives the vehicle a view of its surroundings from several positions.

Navigation position accuracy is ±10 mm and navigation angle accuracy is ±1°. Those two figures matter most when a pallet has to be approached squarely, for example at a rack position, a station or a conveyor end. The truck is also described as compatible with enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution systems (MES) and other business systems, so transport tasks can be tied to the systems that already run the plant.

What makes the SPT-1000 suited to narrow aisles?

Aisle width is where many automation projects stall. The SPT-1000 is only 1200 mm wide, and the minimum aisle width is 1300 mm, so the truck passes through with very little room to spare. A minimum turning radius of 900 mm lets it change direction without a wide swing, which helps at corners, junctions and crowded staging areas.

The height is low as well: 556 mm overall, with forks 60 mm thick and a standard lifting height of 190 mm. The truck is made for lifting a pallet just clear of the floor and carrying it, not for stacking at height. Teams that only need ground-level transport between stations, lines and dispatch areas get a vehicle sized for exactly that job.

Pallet handling is also flexible. The truck accepts both open pallets and closed pallets, so a site that mixes pallet styles does not need a separate vehicle for each. The forks are 168 mm wide each with an outer width of 610 mm, and fork width can be changed as one of four customization methods.

How does the SPT-1000 keep working through a shift?

The battery is lithium iron phosphate, 48 V / 36 Ah, and the comprehensive battery life is 8 h. Charging from 10% to 80% takes 1.5 h. Charging can be manual or automatic, so a small site can plug the truck in by hand, while a larger operation can set up automatic charging as part of its routine.

Safety and control figures are published too. Braking distance is ≤30 cm at 1 m/s and ≤50 cm at 1.5 m/s. Driving speed is 1.1 m/s, full load or no load. The truck can pass over a slope below 3%, a step of 5 mm and a gap of 10 mm, which tells you the floor should be smooth and level. It is specified for 0℃ to 50℃ and 10% to 90% relative humidity, without compression or condensation, so it belongs indoors in a controlled environment rather than outdoors in the rain.

Who is the SPT-1000 for?

Manufacturers with fixed routes between lines, buffers and warehouses are the most natural fit. The same applies to distribution centers where pallets move at all hours and labor for repetitive moving is hard to find or keep. Sites with tight aisles gain the most, since the compact footprint is the main reason to choose this truck.

Operations that need to connect transport tasks to ERP or MES systems will find that the SPT-1000 is compatible with them. Buyers who want their own look can ask for a custom color or logo, and those with unusual pallets can ask about fork width and robot height.

If your loads are heavier, look at the SEER Robotics 3 Ton Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD30). If you are comparing other autonomous pallet handling options, the SEER Robotics Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD20) and the SEER Robotics OneFork 300 Autonomous Pallet Truck (SOF-300EU) are also on this site. Broader automation projects may also look at Factory Robots.

What is the SPT-1000 used for?

1. Line-side supply: moving pallets of parts or materials from storage to production stations on a fixed route.
2. Finished goods transfer: taking pallets from the end of a line to a staging or dispatch area.
3. Warehouse internal transport: carrying pallets between receiving, storage and shipping zones at ground level.
4. Narrow-aisle moves: working in aisles where a wider vehicle cannot turn or pass.
5. Mixed pallet handling: picking up open pallets and closed pallets with the same truck.
6. Round-the-clock shifts: running through long shifts with scheduled manual or automatic charging.

You can buy it through this page by requesting a quotation. The cost depends on your configuration and delivery, so we give it in the quotation and not on the page.

Summary

The idea behind the SPT-1000 is simple: take the walk out of pallet moving and keep the footprint small. It is 1200 mm wide, carries 1000 kg (2204.62 lbs), navigates with Laser SLAM to ±10 mm, and runs 8 h on a lithium iron phosphate battery that charges from 10% to 80% in 1.5 h. It is made for indoor ground-level transport, in tight aisles, with open or closed pallets. If that matches your site, this page is the starting point.
