SEER Robotics SFL-CBD15 & SFL-CBD15-CE (SFL-CBD15 & SFL-CBD15-CE)

Two trucks share one fork, one name and one navigation system, yet they are built for different rulebooks. The SEER Robotics SFL-CBD15 & SFL-CBD15-CE is an autonomous pallet truck offered as a domestic build and as a CE build. The choice between them is not cosmetic: it decides how fast the truck may travel, how long it runs between charges, which laser scanners watch its path and which safety standards it can show an auditor. Choosing well means understanding that trade-off before the first pallet moves, and that is what this page sets out to explain.

Robots Middle East supplies the SFL-CBD15 and the SFL-CBD15-CE to warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing sites across the Middle East. We prepare the quotation for the version that suits your site, coordinate delivery to your facility and remain your point of contact for support once the trucks are working on your floor.

Background

SEER Robotics and the Robot Brain

SEER Robotics (06106.HK) describes itself as a platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company built around what it calls the Robot Brain, the control and navigation core that runs across its range of mobile robots. The company serves more than 2,500 customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions. That platform approach matters to a buyer: the same family of controllers and navigation methods sits behind SEER's pallet trucks, counterbalanced trucks and forklifts, so a site that begins with one model is not starting from scratch when it adds another.

Laser SLAM and a slim pallet truck body

The SFL-CBD15 family navigates by Laser SLAM, building and following a map of the facility from laser measurements rather than relying on magnetic tape, reflectors or floor markers. It can work with maps of up to 400000 m², which covers large warehouse halls and multi-zone sites. The body is deliberately narrow, 932 mm on the domestic version and 980 mm on the CE version, so that the truck passes smoothly through tight aisles. The forks accept multiple sizes and types of pallets, material racks and cages, which lets one truck serve several handling flows instead of a single carrier format.

Technical Specifications

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

The manufacturer has not published the ingress protection rating, the wireless standard details, the package contents, the noise level or the software and fleet system compatibility details, and the rated load capacity is not stated in the specification at hand; all of these are confirmed at quotation.

What does the SFL-CBD15-CE change compared with the SFL-CBD15?

The CE version is the build for projects that must demonstrate conformity with ISO 3691-4, the safety standard for driverless industrial trucks, and with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). Both certifications come as standard on the SFL-CBD15-CE and are not listed for the domestic SFL-CBD15. Around that compliance, the CE build carries a named scanner set: one P+F OMD30M-R2000-B23-V1V1D-HD-1L lidar and two SICK nanoScan3 Core safety scanners.

The second difference is endurance. The CE version doubles the battery to 48 V / 46 Ah lithium iron phosphate, against 48 V / 23 Ah on the domestic truck, and its comprehensive battery life rises to 8 to 10 h from 4 to 6 h. Both versions charge from 10% to 80% in 1 h, so the larger pack does not cost extra time at the charger.

The price of that compliance and endurance is pace and girth. The CE truck drives at 1.4 m/s loaded or empty, where the domestic truck reaches 2 m/s. It is 48 mm wider at 980 mm, 15 kg heavier at 403 kg, and turns on a radius of 1532 mm instead of 1524 mm. It is also slightly shorter overall, at 1685 mm against 1712 mm. For most layouts the turning difference is marginal, but the width deserves a check against your narrowest aisle.

How should the battery life shape a deployment plan?

Battery life determines how a fleet is sized. A domestic SFL-CBD15 with 4 to 6 h of comprehensive running time will normally need an opportunity-charging rhythm built into a long shift, with charging stations placed where the truck already pauses. The one-hour charge from 10% to 80% makes that practical. The SFL-CBD15-CE, with 8 to 10 h, can cover a full shift on far fewer charging stops, which simplifies traffic planning and can reduce the number of trucks needed to keep a route covered. Lithium iron phosphate chemistry on both versions suits partial charging between tasks, a common pattern in automated material handling.

The operating range of 0℃ to 50℃ and 10% to 90% relative humidity without condensation is also worth reading against the site. Many logistics buildings in the region are climate-controlled; in halls that are not, the upper temperature limit should be compared with summer conditions at the loading docks before the route is finalised.

Who is the SEER Robotics SFL-CBD15 & SFL-CBD15-CE for?

The domestic SFL-CBD15 suits operations where throughput per truck matters most and the CE certification set is not a contractual requirement: internal transfers between production and storage, cross-docking lanes and short repetitive routes where its 2 m/s driving speed and narrow 932 mm body keep cycles short.

The SFL-CBD15-CE is the better fit for multinational operators, third-party logistics providers working to European client standards, and projects whose safety documentation specifies ISO 3691-4 and RED. Its 8 to 10 h battery life also makes it the stronger choice for sites running long shifts with limited space for charging infrastructure.

Where the loads are heavier than this pallet truck is intended for, the SEER Robotics 3 Ton Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD30) is the related model to compare. Where pallets must be lifted onto racking rather than moved at floor level, a counterbalanced design such as the SEER Robotics 2000 Kg Counterbalanced Autonomous Forklift (SFL-CPD20-Y) addresses a different task. The wider range is gathered under Logistics Robots and Factory Robots.

What is the SEER Robotics SFL-CBD15 & SFL-CBD15-CE used for?

1. Line-side supply: bringing pallets of components from storage to production cells on a fixed schedule.
2. Finished-goods removal: collecting completed pallets at the end of a line and taking them to staging or dispatch.
3. Warehouse transfers: moving pallets between receiving, storage zones and picking areas across large mapped sites.
4. Cross-docking: shuttling inbound pallets directly to outbound lanes without manual pallet trucks.
5. Rack and cage handling: transporting material racks and cages as well as pallets within the same workflow.
6. Narrow-aisle routes: operating in tight lanes where a slim body avoids reworking the floor layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What navigation does the SFL-CBD15 use?

Both versions navigate by Laser SLAM and can work with maps of up to 400000 m². No floor tape or reflectors are required for the navigation itself.

Which version carries ISO 3691-4 and RED certification?

The SFL-CBD15-CE carries ISO 3691-4 and RED as standard. These certifications are not listed for the domestic SFL-CBD15.

Why is the CE version slower?

The SFL-CBD15-CE drives at 1.4 m/s loaded or empty, while the domestic version reaches 2 m/s. The CE build trades speed for its certified safety configuration and larger battery.

How long does charging take?

Both versions charge from 10% to 80% in 1 h. The domestic battery delivers 4 to 6 h of comprehensive running time and the CE battery 8 to 10 h.

What carriers can the truck handle?

The SFL-CBD15 family supports multiple sizes and types of pallets, material racks and cages. The fork measures 1220 x (170+7) x 75 mm, including a 7 mm wiring panel, with a standard lifting height of 205 mm.

What safety features are fitted?

The truck is equipped with safety obstacle avoidance lasers, bumper strips, distance sensors and a hardware self-check. On the CE version the scanner set comprises one P+F OMD30M-R2000-B23-V1V1D-HD-1L and two SICK nanoScan3 Core units.

Where can I buy the SEER Robotics SFL-CBD15 & SFL-CBD15-CE and what does it cost?

Summary

The SFL-CBD15 and the SFL-CBD15-CE share their Laser SLAM navigation, their fork, their lifting height and their one-hour charge, yet they answer different questions. The domestic truck is the quicker and narrower machine for operations that value cycle time. The CE truck brings ISO 3691-4 and RED certification, a named SICK and P+F scanner set and roughly twice the running time, at a lower driving speed. Deciding which rulebook your site works to settles most of the choice, and the remaining open points are confirmed in the quotation.
