SEER Robotics OneFork 300 Autonomous Pallet Truck (SOF-300EU)

On many factory floors the busiest route is not the long run from dock to racking but the short, repetitive shuttle of tote dollies and shelves between workstations, stores and lines. It is rarely glamorous and almost never measured, yet it consumes operator hours on every shift. The SEER Robotics OneFork 300 Autonomous Pallet Truck (SOF-300EU) is built for exactly that unglamorous middle ground. It is a compact, single-fork robot that steers itself by Laser SLAM, recognises its carrier with a depth camera and lifts a load just high enough to move it.

Robots Middle East supplies the SEER Robotics OneFork 300 Autonomous Pallet Truck (SOF-300EU) to warehouses, manufacturers and logistics operators across the Middle East. Robots Middle East prepares each quotation against the customer's site and application, and arranges delivery to the project location. It also provides the support that follows commissioning, so the buyer has a single point of contact from first enquiry to day-to-day operation.

Background

SEER Robotics and its platform approach

SEER Robotics (06106.HK) is a platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company built around the Robot Brain. The company serves more than 2,500 customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions. It was founded in 2015, is based in Shanghai, China, and focuses on helping intralogistics integrators and OEMs build their own autonomous mobile robots. That background matters to a buyer. The OneFork 300 is not an isolated machine but part of a wider family of autonomous trucks, forklifts and counterbalance vehicles that share the manufacturer's navigation and control heritage.

Where the OneFork 300 sits in the range

Within SEER's material-handling line-up, the OneFork 300 is positioned for light carriers rather than full-size pallets. Its pallet type is tote dolly and shelf, and its lifting range is deliberately short. This is a truck for picking up a wheeled carrier and relocating it, not for stacking goods at height. The key technologies are Laser SLAM navigation, which lets the robot localise against the existing features of a building, and real-time AI carrier recognition through an onboard depth camera. Together they allow the robot to find and engage its load without fixed guide paths on the floor.

Technical Specifications

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

SEER Robotics has not published the package contents, the software and fleet-management compatibility, the communication interfaces, the ingress protection rating, the noise level, the maximum fork height or the maximum pallet size; these are confirmed at quotation.

What makes the SOF-300EU different from a conventional autonomous pallet truck?

A conventional autonomous pallet truck is designed around the standard pallet: twin forks, a heavy rated load and a footprint sized for wide aisles. The SOF-300EU takes a narrower brief. It carries a single fork of 610 x 300 mm and a rated load of 300 kg at a 415 mm load centre, and it handles tote dollies and shelves. The machine is 500 mm wide and turns within a minimum radius of 800 mm. Those proportions suit the cramped spaces between assembly cells, kitting areas and supermarket racks, where a full-size truck would struggle.

The second difference is how the robot finds its load. A depth recognition camera supports real-time AI carrier recognition, so the truck identifies the dolly or shelf in front of it rather than relying solely on a carrier being parked at a precise mark. Combined with a navigation position accuracy of ±10 mm and an angle accuracy of ±1°, this gives the robot the precision needed to slide its fork under a wheeled carrier and lift it between 70 mm and 90 mm. The default is 70 mm, enough to clear the floor for transport.

How does the OneFork 300 keep people and goods safe?

Light carriers tend to travel through busy, mixed spaces where operators walk, so safety design carries particular weight. The SOF-300EU combines safety obstacle avoidance lasers, bumper strips and photoelectric sensors, which together provide 360° safety protection around the vehicle. The lidar arrangement is 1+2. Braking distance is ≤30 cm from 1 m/s and ≤50 cm from 1.5 m/s. Driving speed is 0.8 m/s at full load and 1.4 m/s with no load.

The robot has passed CE certification to ISO3691-4:2023, the standard for driverless industrial trucks, together with other related certifications. For organisations writing a risk assessment, this provides a recognised reference point. Floor conditions still need checking: passability is a slope below 3%, a step of 2 mm and a gap of 5 mm. Thresholds, ramps and expansion joints along the intended route should be surveyed before deployment.

Who is the SOF-300EU for?

The clearest fit is the manufacturer that already moves parts and sub-assemblies on tote dollies or mobile shelving and wants to automate those runs without rebuilding the floor. Electronics, automotive component and consumer goods plants often work this way, feeding lines from a central store at regular intervals. Hospitals, laboratories and distribution centres that move shelf-based carriers between zones form a second segment. For these sites the compact footprint and tight turning radius are decisive.

Systems integrators and OEMs are a third audience. SEER Robotics' focus on helping integrators build their own AMRs means the OneFork 300 can sit within a broader automation project alongside other SEER vehicles. Buyers whose loads are standard pallets, or who need greater capacity or lifting height, should compare the wider range of Pallet Trucks. Those planning a full production cell can browse the Factory Robots category. Robots Middle East can advise on which model matches a given carrier and route.

What is the SOF-300EU used for?

1. Line-side replenishment: carrying tote dollies of components from a central store to assembly stations on a regular cycle.
2. Kitting transfers: moving prepared kits on shelves from a kitting area to the operators who consume them.
3. Work-in-progress transport: shuttling partly finished goods between process cells without tying up staff.
4. Empty carrier return: collecting empty dollies and shelves and bringing them back for refilling.
5. Warehouse zone moves: relocating shelf-based stock between picking, packing and dispatch areas.
6. Hospital and laboratory logistics: moving supply carts and shelving between departments along fixed routes.

Pricing and Availability

The SEER Robotics OneFork 300 Autonomous Pallet Truck (SOF-300EU) is supplied on quotation, because the right configuration depends on the site, the carriers in use and the charging arrangement chosen. Robots Middle East reviews the application, confirms the specifications against the current datasheet and prepares a formal offer. Delivery, customs clearance and after-sales support are arranged together with the quotation. To begin, please submit your requirements through the quotation request available on this page.

Can it operate in warm environments?

The ambient range is 0℃ to 50℃ with relative humidity of 10% to 90%, without condensation. Sites in the region should confirm that conditions along the full route stay within that range.

Summary

The short shuttle between store and workstation is where many operations quietly lose the most time, and it is the run the SOF-300EU is designed to take over. A slim single-fork chassis, Laser SLAM navigation and camera-based carrier recognition let it collect tote dollies and shelves where a full-size truck would not fit. Its CE certification to ISO3691-4:2023 and 360° sensor coverage address the safety of shared spaces. Fast charging and automatic charging support keep it available across the working day. For organisations ready to automate that middle ground with Robots Middle East, this page is the starting point.
