SEER Robotics 3 Ton Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD30)

In a Gulf distribution centre, the harder question is rarely whether a truck can lift a loaded pallet. It is whether it can keep setting that pallet down on the same mark, hour after hour, as the building warms and the docks never quite empty. The SEER Robotics 3 Ton Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD30) addresses both sides of that question. It is a laser SLAM machine rated for 3000 kg that positions itself to ±10 mm and ±1°, and its operating range reaches an ambient temperature of 50℃. Strength, precision and endurance are specified together rather than traded against one another, and that is what defines it.

Robots Middle East sells and supplies the SFL-CBD30 to warehouses, factories and logistics operators across the Middle East. Our team prepares each quotation against the customer's own layout and loads. We arrange delivery and customs to the site and provide support once the truck enters service, so a single regional partner handles the project from the first enquiry to routine operation.

Background

SEER Robotics and the Robot Brain

SEER Robotics is listed in Hong Kong under the code 06106.HK. It is a platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company built around the Robot Brain: a shared core of control and navigation intelligence that runs across its range of mobile machines. The company serves more than 2,500 customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions. For a buyer, the platform approach matters because a pallet truck from SEER is one member of a family that shares its thinking, not a standalone product. Mixed fleets, future expansion and common operating practices therefore start from the same foundation.

A laser SLAM truck for heavy open pallets

SEER names the SFL-CBD30 a Laser SLAM Autonomous Pallet Truck, and the description is exact. The truck builds and reads a map of its surroundings with laser scanners. It carries one SLM-SLE4248 lidar and two SLD40 units, and uses them to locate itself and the pallets it handles. It is specified for open pallets. Across the full series, SEER fits dual spring shock absorbers to the driving wheels and enhanced hydraulic cylinders as standard. These prevent slipping in varied conditions and keep the whole robot reliable and stable. The SFL-CBD series also includes the SEER Robotics Autonomous Pallet Truck (SFL-CBD20) and the SFL-CBD15 and SFL-CBD15-CE. The figures on this page belong to the SFL-CBD30 alone.

Technical Specifications

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

SEER Robotics has not published the IP rating, battery chemistry, safety certifications, communication interfaces, package contents or any load limits for pallet dimensions beyond the stated load centre; Robots Middle East confirms these at quotation.

How precise is laser SLAM navigation on a 3-ton pallet truck?

Precision matters most where a pallet changes hands: at a conveyor infeed, a staging lane, a wrapping station or a marked floor position next to a production cell. The SFL-CBD30 is specified to a navigation position accuracy of ±10 mm and an angle accuracy of ±1°. In practice, a pallet can be delivered square to its destination rather than roughly near it, and the next process, whether a person or a machine, receives it the same way every time.

Three lidars provide the information behind that accuracy: a principal SLM-SLE4248 and two SLD40 units. With a rated load of 3000 kg at a 600 mm load centre, the truck also has to brake predictably. Its braking distance is ≤30 cm at 1 m/s and ≤50 cm at 1.5 m/s. These figures give planners a concrete basis for setting traffic rules where the truck shares aisles with people or other vehicles.

How does the SFL-CBD30 cope with real warehouse floors and long shifts?

Industrial floors are seldom perfect. Dock plates, expansion joints and gentle ramps are part of most buildings. The passability figures are a slope of less than 5%, a step of 10 mm and a gap of 30 mm, and they should be checked against the route before deployment. The spring-damped driving wheels and enhanced hydraulic cylinders, which SEER fits across the series, keep traction and stability under load.

Endurance is the other half of the question. The 51.2 V / 106 Ah battery has a comprehensive battery life of 8 h. Charging from 10% to 80% takes 2 to 3 h, either manually or automatically. With automatic charging, the truck can top up during natural pauses in the workflow. For sites in the region, the ambient range of 0℃ to 50℃, with relative humidity from 10% to 90% and no condensation, is a figure worth comparing with summer conditions inside the building, particularly in loading areas.

Who is the SFL-CBD30 for?

The SFL-CBD30 is aimed at operations that move heavy open pallets along repeatable routes. Typical users are distribution centres serving retail and e-commerce, manufacturers of beverages, building materials and packaged goods, and third-party logistics providers whose clients send dense, heavy loads. Its 960 mm width and 1360 mm minimum turning radius are the figures to compare with aisle widths and the turning space at pick-up and drop-off points.

It also suits organisations that plan to grow a fleet over time. The SEER platform approach lets a single pallet truck grow into a coordinated group. Buyers comparing the series can also consider the SFL-CBD20; its figures are not covered on this page, and Robots Middle East can set them out on request. For other configurations, the Pallet Trucks category shows the wider SEER range, and the Factory Robots category covers broader production automation.

What is the SFL-CBD30 used for?

1. Inbound dock clearance: moving received pallets from the dock to buffer or storage lanes without tying up a driver.
2. Production line feeding: delivering raw materials or components on open pallets to fixed positions beside a line.
3. End-of-line removal: collecting finished, wrapped pallets and taking them to dispatch staging.
4. Buffer-to-buffer transfers: shuttling loads between holding areas inside large warehouses on fixed, repeatable routes.
5. Outbound staging: assembling pallets in order lanes ahead of vehicle loading for scheduled departures.
6. Night and extended-shift logistics: continuing internal transport outside staffed hours, with automatic charging between tasks.

Pricing and Availability

Robots Middle East quotes the SFL-CBD30 for each project. The quotation reflects the site, the loads and the scope of integration, so the terms are agreed for your application rather than taken from a general list. Delivery, customs clearance and after-sales support are arranged together with the quotation. To begin, please send your floor plan, pallet types and throughput targets using the quotation request available on this page.

How does the truck navigate?

It uses laser SLAM navigation with one SLM-SLE4248 lidar and two SLD40 lidars. The specified accuracy is ±10 mm in position and ±1° in angle.

Which pallets does it handle?

The SFL-CBD30 is specified for open pallets. The fork outer width is 600 / 680 mm, and each fork measures 1220 x 173 x 60 mm.

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

The comprehensive battery life is 8 h from a 51.2 V / 106 Ah battery. Charging from 10% to 80% takes 2 to 3 h, either manually or automatically.

Can it operate in warm warehouses?

The ambient range is 0℃ to 50℃, with relative humidity from 10% to 90% and no condensation. We recommend comparing this range with measured conditions on site.

How quickly does the SFL-CBD30 stop?

The braking distance is ≤30 cm at 1 m/s and ≤50 cm at 1.5 m/s. The driving speed is 1.5 m/s at full load and 1.66 m/s with no load.
