Hakuou Robotics Set to Showcase AutoFork at Logis-Tech 2026

Hakuou Robotics, based in Arakawa, Tokyo, is gearing up for a significant appearance at the upcoming Logis-Tech 2026, set to take place from September 8 to 11 at Tokyo Big Sight. The company will be exhibiting its automatic forklift, the AutoFork, alongside various demonstrations at its dedicated booth.

The showcase will feature two walkie-type AutoForks, alongside a newly introduced one-ton reach-type automatic forklift. This diverse range aims to illustrate the automation processes in logistics by combining different types of automatic forklifts.

Introducing the One-Ton Reach-Type AutoFork

Hakuou Robotics has primarily focused on walkie-type forklifts for automating warehouse transportation and intra-factory processes. However, the Logis-Tech 2026 presentation will highlight the debut of a new one-ton reach-type automatic forklift model. This model is set to enhance the application scope of AutoFork, especially in logistics and manufacturing environments handling heavier loads that the current walkie-type models cannot manage efficiently.

With this new reach-type forklift, the company aims to broaden its operational capabilities, including enhanced storage functions such as stacking on racks and handling nested containers. The addition of this model promises to significantly expand the types of loads and tasks the AutoFork series can handle.

Details regarding the specifications, product name, and further information about the vehicle are expected to be revealed prior to the exhibition.

Real-Time Demonstration of Three Different AutoFork Models

Visitors to the Hakuou Robotics booth can look forward to a live demonstration that will showcase the efficiency and versatility of the AutoFork system. This includes the use of two walkie-type AutoForks and the new one-ton reach-type model. Military demonstrations will involve various tasks such as addressing pallet misalignment using advanced recognition technology and collaborative operations with multiple forklifts for pallet transportation.

Additionally, the booth will feature a display of the Warehouse Control System (WCS) interface that manages and controls multiple AutoFork units concurrently, offering insights into the efficiency of automated logistics management.

The specifics of the new model and demonstration content will be shared ahead of the exhibition, ensuring that attendees have all the information necessary to engage.
