SEER Robotics Single Fork Autonomous Forklift (SFL-300L)

On many factory floors the most costly journey is also the shortest: a shelf of parts wheeled by hand from one cell to the next, over and over through a shift, by someone whose skills would be better used elsewhere. The SEER Robotics Single Fork Autonomous Forklift (SFL-300L) is built to take over precisely that kind of trip. Its slim body slides a fork beneath a tote dolly or a shelf, lifts it clear of the floor and carries it along routes that are mapped rather than painted, so that the people who once pushed the load can attend to the work the load was meant for.

Robots Middle East supplies the SFL-300L to manufacturers, logistics operators and distribution businesses across the Middle East. We prepare each quotation around the layout and workflow of your site, arrange delivery to your premises and remain your point of contact for commissioning questions and after-sales support. A single team therefore stays responsible for the robot from the first enquiry to its daily operation.

Background

SEER Robotics and the Robot Brain

SEER Robotics, listed in Hong Kong as 06106.HK, describes itself as a platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company built around what it calls the Robot Brain. The company serves more than 2,500 customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions, and its portfolio includes autonomous pallet trucks, stacking forklifts and compact load handlers. The SFL-300L belongs to that portfolio and names tote dollies and shelves as its load carriers, which places it in the everyday internal transport that keeps production cells, kitting areas and storage zones supplied.

For a buyer, the significance of a platform approach is consistency. When navigation, control and safety logic come from one design philosophy, the behaviour learnt on one machine carries across to the next, and planning a wider deployment becomes a question of extending what already works rather than starting again.

Laser SLAM and a body you can tailor

The manufacturer calls the SFL-300L a Laser SLAM Single Fork Autonomous Forklift. Laser SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) allows a robot to build a map of its surroundings from laser scans and then locate itself against the walls, columns and racking that are already there. In practice this means that routes can be changed in software instead of by laying new floor markings. Where a particular zone calls for a different approach, the SFL-300L also supports QR code, reflector and NFL navigation, giving integrators four methods to choose from across one site.

SEER Robotics also offers modular customisation of the machine itself. The forklift can be tailored from its height and colour to its branding, so that it fits both the application scenario and the visual identity of the business that operates it.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published an IP rating, any independent certifications, the Wi-Fi standard, a payload figure for pallets or the package contents; these points are confirmed at quotation.

How does the SFL-300L find its way and protect the people around it?

Navigation and safety are two sides of the same question in any facility where robots share space with staff. On the navigation side, the SFL-300L combines laser SLAM with QR code, reflector and NFL methods, and positions itself to ±10 mm with an angle accuracy of ±1°. That level of repeatability matters at the handover point: a fork that arrives in the same place every time can slide under a dolly or shelf without manual correction, which is what allows a transport task to run unattended.

The sensing behind this comes from three lidars, one SLM-SLE4248 and two SLD40 units. Around them, SEER Robotics embeds navigation lasers, obstacle avoidance lasers, 3D cameras, safety edge sensors and photoelectric sensors, which together provide 360° protection during operation. For an operations manager, this layered arrangement means the machine watches not only the path ahead but also its sides and the area around the fork, which is where people tend to stand when they are loading or unloading.

What kind of loads and floors suit the SFL-300L?

The SFL-300L is rated for 300 kg at a load centre distance of 350 mm, and lifts to a standard height of 150±5 mm. Its fork measures 480 x 300 mm and the manufacturer names tote dollies and shelves as the load carriers it is designed for. That combination points clearly towards trolley-based internal logistics: raising a loaded dolly or shelf just enough to move it, rather than stacking goods at height.

Its footprint is compact. At 400 mm wide, with a minimum turning radius of 650 mm, it suits aisles and cells that were never planned with automation in mind. The floor still deserves attention, however: passability is given as a slope below 3%, a step of 2 mm and a gap of 5 mm, so thresholds, drainage channels and lift entrances should be reviewed during site assessment. The rated operating environment is 0°C to 50°C at 10% to 90% relative humidity without condensation, which buyers in the region will want to compare with conditions in loading areas and any spaces without climate control.

Who is the SFL-300L for?

The clearest fit is the manufacturer who already moves parts, kits or work-in-progress on dollies and shelves and wants that traffic to run without a driver. Assembly plants supplying line-side stock, electronics and light-industrial producers moving components between processes, and distribution centres shuttling totes between picking and packing all match the load carriers this robot is designed around. Operations with narrow aisles benefit particularly from its slim body and tight turning radius.

Businesses that plan in stages will also find it suitable, since a single SFL-300L on a fixed route can prove the concept before further units are added. Where the work involves standard pallets rather than dollies and shelves, a pallet-handling machine is the more natural starting point; buyers can compare options such as the SEER Robotics Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD20) within our Pallet Trucks range, or browse the wider Autonomous Forklifts category, and Robots Middle East will advise on which model matches the load.

What is the SFL-300L used for?

1. Line-side replenishment — carrying shelves of components from storage to assembly stations on a regular cycle.
2. Work-in-progress transfer — moving dollies between process steps so that operators stay at their stations.
3. Kitting and sequencing — delivering prepared kits on shelves to the point of use in the required order.
4. Picking-to-packing shuttles — linking order-picking zones with packing benches in distribution centres.
5. Empty carrier return — bringing empty tote dollies and shelves back to their loading points without manual effort.
6. Narrow-aisle transport — serving cells and corridors where wider automated vehicles cannot turn.

Pricing and Availability

Robots Middle East quotes the SFL-300L individually, because the right configuration depends on your routes, load carriers, navigation method, charging arrangement and any customisation of height, colour or branding. Delivery, customs clearance and support are arranged together with the quotation, so that the offer you receive covers the path from order to operation. To begin, share a short description of your site and the loads you move; a quotation request for the SEER Robotics Single Fork Autonomous Forklift (SFL-300L) is available on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What load can the SFL-300L lift?

It is rated for 300 kg at a load centre distance of 350 mm, with a standard lifting height of 150±5 mm.

Which navigation methods does it support?

The SFL-300L supports SLAM, QR code, reflector and NFL navigation, with a position accuracy of ±10 mm and an angle accuracy of ±1°.

How long does it run, and how is it charged?
