The Mobile Robot Company’s J1600 has been awarded the IFOY AWARD 2026 Industrial Truck of the Year. This innovative machine can be driven manually like a traditional pallet jack, but also has the ability to operate autonomously when sent to a saved destination.
Innovative Technology
The J1600 combines the flexibility of a manual pallet jack with the efficiency of an automated guided vehicle. The operator can handle pickup, close maneuvering, and exceptions, then use a touchscreen to send the load across the facility autonomously.
The J1600 features a 1,600 kg payload and 1.6 m manual lift, as well as 3D LiDAR SLAM and autonomous path planning. It can be used as a stand-alone machine or integrated with advanced software for fleet and API integration.
