SEER Robotics Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD20)

Most warehouses already have nearly everything an automated pallet move needs: the pallets, the aisles, the dock doors and the people who know where every load should go. What they lack is a truck that can work those spaces with no one at the tiller. The SEER Robotics Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD20) addresses exactly that gap. It pairs a familiar pallet-truck format with laser SLAM navigation, so what changes is who drives, not how the building is laid out. The truck is rated for 2000 kg at a 600 mm load centre, handles open pallets, and carries its own lidar array and four-layer safety protection. For sites that want automation without rebuilding their floor, that makes it a measured and practical first step.

Robots Middle East sells the SFL-CBD20 and supplies it to customers across the Middle East. Our team prepares your quotation, coordinates delivery to your site and provides support once the truck is in service. We also work with you on route planning, charging arrangements and integration questions, so that the truck arrives ready for the workflow it is intended to serve rather than as a machine still in search of a task.

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, and it serves more than 2,500 customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions. The idea behind a platform company is that navigation, control and fleet logic are developed once and shared across many robot bodies. A pallet truck, a forklift and a counterbalance truck can then draw on the same underlying intelligence. For a buyer, this matters because the SFL-CBD20 is not an isolated product. It belongs to a family of autonomous trucks that a site can extend as its automation programme grows.

Laser SLAM in a pallet-truck body

The manufacturer names the SFL-CBD20 a Laser SLAM Autonomous Pallet Truck. SLAM, or simultaneous localisation and mapping, lets a vehicle build a map of its surroundings with laser scanners and then locate itself within that map. It does this without magnetic tape or wires buried in the floor. The SFL-CBD20 supports three navigation methods: SLAM, reflector and NFL. This gives an integrator room to match the method to each part of a site. Open, well-structured areas suit natural-feature SLAM, while zones where the surroundings change often may benefit from reflectors. The truck can therefore operate in mixed environments that a single navigation method would struggle to cover.

Technical Specifications

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

The manufacturer has not published the payload tolerance, the IP rating, the noise level, the Wi-Fi standard, the weight without battery or the list of included accessories; Robots Middle East confirms these details with you at quotation.

How does the SFL-CBD20 find its way and protect the people around it?

Positioning is the foundation of any autonomous pallet move. A truck that stops a few centimetres off its mark will miss the pallet pockets or leave a load overhanging a conveyor. The SFL-CBD20 is specified to a navigation position accuracy of ±10 mm and an angle accuracy of ±1°. That is the precision needed to approach a pallet squarely and set it down at a defined drop point. The sensing behind this comes from one SLM-SLE4248 lidar and two SLD40 lidars, which together give the truck its view of the space it works in.

Safety rests on four layers rather than one. A 3D obstacle avoidance laser watches the path ahead, including objects that a single horizontal scanning plane might miss. A safety edge sensor responds to physical contact. A distance sensor adds a further check on proximity. Hardware self-inspection monitors the truck's own components for faults. In a shared workspace, where pedestrians, manual trucks and autonomous vehicles cross the same aisles, this layered approach is what allows an operations manager to bring the truck in alongside existing staff. Robots Middle East works with you to shape the safety concept for your particular site as part of the deployment project.

What does a 2000 kg rating at a 600 mm load centre mean for your pallets?

A rated capacity only makes sense together with its load centre. This is the distance from the fork heel to the centre of gravity of the load. The SFL-CBD20 is rated for 2000 kg at 600 mm, so buyers should compare their heaviest pallets, and where that weight sits, against this pairing rather than against the headline figure alone. The forks measure 1220 x 173 x 60 mm, with a fork outer width of 600 / 680 mm, and the truck is designed for open pallets. Pallet types and orientations should therefore be checked before a route is planned.

The standard lifting height of 205±5 mm shows the truck's role clearly. It raises a pallet clear of the floor to move it from one floor-level position to another; it does not stack loads into racking. With a minimum turning radius of 1360 mm and a driving speed of 1.5 m/s at full load and 1.66 m/s without load, it suits horizontal transport between docks, staging lanes and production lines. The 51.2 V / 106 Ah battery gives a comprehensive battery life of 10 h. Charging from 10% to 80% takes 2 to 3 h, either manually or automatically, so a fleet can be scheduled to recharge during natural pauses in the shift pattern.

Who is the SFL-CBD20 for?

The most natural buyers are warehouse and distribution operators who move large numbers of open pallets along repeatable routes. Typical examples are inbound docks to buffer zones, or picking areas to outbound lanes. Manufacturers are a second group, using the truck to link goods-in, production cells and finished-goods storage without dedicating a driver to each transfer. Third-party logistics providers, who often run long shifts across several client areas, benefit from a truck that can switch between navigation methods as the layout changes from one zone to the next.

Sites in the region should also take note of the ambient operating range of 0℃ to 50℃ with 10% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing. Buildings without full climate control should be assessed against this range before deployment, and Robots Middle East can help with that review.

SEER Robotics also names the SFL-CBD15, the SFL-CBD15-CE and the SEER Robotics 3 Ton Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD30) as versions within the same line. If your loads sit at either end of the range, our team will gladly set these versions side by side for you. The wider Pallet Trucks range and our Factory Robots category show where the SFL-CBD20 fits within a broader automation plan.

What is the SFL-CBD20 used for?

1. Dock-to-staging transfers — moving inbound pallets from receiving doors to buffer lanes without waiting for a driver.
2. Production line feeding — delivering raw materials or components on open pallets to fixed points at the line.
3. Finished-goods removal — collecting completed pallets at the end of a line and taking them to storage or dispatch.
4. Cross-docking — shuttling loads between inbound and outbound areas on predictable, repeated routes.
5. Night and extended shifts — maintaining routine pallet flows when staffing is reduced, with charging planned into the schedule.
6. Mixed-layout facilities — combining SLAM, reflector and NFL navigation to cover zones with different structural characteristics.

Pricing and Availability

Every autonomous pallet truck project depends on the site: the routes, the pallet types, the number of trucks and the systems they must connect to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What load can the SFL-CBD20 carry?

The rated load capacity is 2000 kg at a load centre distance of 600 mm. Buyers should compare both their heaviest loads and where that weight sits against this pairing.

Which navigation methods does it support?

The truck supports SLAM, reflector and NFL navigation. This allows the method to be matched to the conditions in each area of a site.

How long does the battery last, and how is it charged?

The comprehensive battery life is 10 h from a 51.2 V / 106 Ah battery. Charging from 10% to 80% takes 2 to 3 h, and the truck can be charged manually or automatically.

Can the SFL-CBD20 stack pallets into racking?

The standard lifting height is 205±5 mm, which points to floor-level transport rather than stacking. For tasks at height, Robots Middle East can advise on other trucks in the SEER Robotics range.

What pallets does it handle?

The truck is designed for open pallets, with forks of 1220 x 173 x 60 mm and a fork outer width of 600 / 680 mm. We recommend checking your pallet types against these dimensions before deployment.

What safety features does the SFL-CBD20 have?

It offers four-layer safety protection: a 3D obstacle avoidance laser, a safety edge sensor, a distance sensor and hardware self-inspection. Together they allow the truck to share aisles with people and manual vehicles.

Where can I buy the SEER Robotics Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD20) and what does it cost?

You can buy it from Robots Middle East, which supplies customers across the Middle East. The cost depends on your configuration and project scope, so please request a quotation on this page.

Summary

The SFL-CBD20 is built on a simple premise: most facilities do not need a new building to automate pallet moves, only a truck that can work the one they already have. Laser SLAM alongside reflector and NFL navigation, positioning to ±10 mm, a 2000 kg rating at 600 mm and four layers of safety protection let it take over the repetitive floor-level transfers that tie up drivers today. The 10 h battery life and automatic charging keep it working through long shifts.
