Just 8.5 cm Thin: Jaten Unveils “Loongfork” Omnidirectional Unmanned Stacker at AUTOMATE 2026

CHICAGO, IL – June 22-25 – Jaten, a global leader in industrial autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), will unveil its latest innovation, the Loongfork 8.5 cm Omnidirectional Unmanned Stacker, at AUTOMATE 2026, Booth #3244.

Designed for ultra-low-clearance scenarios, the Loongfork features an 85 mm high omnidirectional drive module and a fork height as low as 97 mm, allowing it to slide effortlessly under pallets with just 108 mm of clearance. This compact design tackles a long-standing challenge in automated warehouse handling, enabling tighter storage layouts without costly aisle widening or conveyor modifications.

Leveraging Jaten’s advanced SLAM navigation system with optional QR code positioning, the Loongfork operates efficiently in aisles as narrow as 2 m. Its omnidirectional mobility—including forward, sideways, and on-the-spot rotation—provides exceptional flexibility for pallet pickup and placement, maximizing both vertical and horizontal warehouse space.

“U.S. warehouses face mounting pressure to optimize storage density,” said Jaten. “Loongfork transforms every inch of space into stackable, movable assets, helping operations become faster, smarter, and more efficient.”
