Robotic lift trucks can cut operating expenses up to 70%

This white paper examines the ways in which warehouses can not only justify an investment in robotic lift trucks through speedy ROI – but achieve meaningful savings.


Warehouses are increasingly using robotic lift trucks to improve productivity. Seasoned managers might be inclined to assume that such significant efficiency gains must come at a steep price, but the truth is that robotic lift trucks actually help lower operating costs.

While investing in automation can seem like a large expense upfront, a combination of labor, maintenance and equipment savings means that robotic lift trucks can cut operating expenses by up to 70% – making them a very sound investment. And because an operation can begin by deploying just a single truck as proof of concept before making a larger investment, robotic lift trucks offer a lower cost of entry and greater scalability than industry leaders might expect.
