Compact but Powerful: Reeman Hammer Autonomous Stacker Forklift Helps SMEs Automate Safely

 

Smart Automation for Tight Spaces

For many small and medium-sized factories, stacking operations aren’t inherently complex — but unstable labor, limited space, and frequent safety risks often disrupt daily production.
To tackle these pain points, Reeman Robotics has introduced the Hammer Autonomous Stacker Forklift, a solution that strikes the perfect balance between performance, safety, and flexibility.

Unlike traditional forklifts that require wide aisles and constant human supervision, the Reeman Hammer delivers industrial-grade stacking automation designed for tight-space operations — making it a reliable entry point for SMEs transitioning toward intelligent logistics.

Industrial Strength in a Compact Design

Built on a proven counterbalanced chassis, the Hammer autonomous stacker forklift supports:

  • 1.5-ton rated load capacity

  • 2.5-meter lifting height

These capabilities meet the majority of material handling demands for finished goods stacking, line-side feeding, and warehouse replenishment.

What sets it apart is its front-entry pallet handling capability — purpose-built for block pallets (four-way pallets).
Where conventional AGVs or semi-autonomous forklifts struggle, the Hammer executes millimeter-accurate fork positioning, ensuring precise pallet insertion without damage or misalignment.

Exceptional Maneuverability for Narrow Aisles

The Hammer’s 1.13-meter turning radius redefines what’s possible in compact industrial layouts.
It can navigate aisles under 6 meters wide, allowing smooth turning and stacking operations where conventional forklifts simply cannot operate.

This makes it particularly suited for electronics plants, injection molding facilities, and food export factories — where every centimeter of space matters.

Despite its compact size, the Hammer retains full counterweight stability, ensuring safe load handling even during high-speed movement or sharp turns.

Laser SLAM Navigation and Multi-Layer Safety

The Reeman Hammer is powered by a laser SLAM navigation system, providing centimeter-level positioning accuracy without reflectors.
It autonomously builds maps, plans routes, and adjusts in real time to environmental changes.

During operation, the system can:

  • Automatically detect and avoid obstacles

  • Reduce speed near pedestrians or moving equipment

  • Trigger emergency stops if necessary

Safety bumpers, 3D sensors, and collision protection bars form a 360° active safety shield, ensuring reliable and secure operation even in busy industrial zones.

Continuous Operation: Fast Battery Swap + Auto Recharging

In high-intensity production environments, the Hammer forklift is designed for uninterrupted operation.
Reeman offers dual energy replenishment modes:

  1. Fast Battery Swapping – ideal for round-the-clock factories. Battery replacement takes only minutes, achieving zero downtime.

  2. Automatic Recharging – during idle periods, the forklift autonomously navigates to its charging dock, recharges, and returns to work automatically.

Its LiFePO₄ (lithium iron phosphate) battery ensures long cycle life, high thermal stability, and consistent performance over thousands of charge cycles.

Proven Efficiency Gains for Real-World Factories

Across multiple deployments, Reeman Hammer autonomous forklifts have delivered measurable results:

  • Over 30% reduction in labor costs

  • 40% increase in stacking efficiency

  • Zero reported collision incidents in validated test environments

Factories once constrained by manpower or narrow layouts are now achieving fully automated logistics without costly reconstruction or large-scale retrofitting.

The Ideal Starting Point for SME Automation

For factories ready to embrace intelligent logistics with minimal risk, the Reeman Hammer Autonomous Stacker Forklift offers the best of both worlds:

  • The flexibility of a traditional forklift

  • The precision and autonomy of an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot)

Its compact design, intelligent navigation, and industrial durability make it a perfect first step toward warehouse automation — especially for small and medium-sized manufacturers seeking efficient, safe, and cost-effective upgrades.

Avoid Costly Mistakes: How to Choose the Right AMR Chassis from 4 Proven Types

Image
  As automated material handling and unmanned logistics continue to gain traction, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are being widely adopted in factories, warehouses, hospitals, and retail environments. But before launching an AMR project, there’s one key technical decision you can’t overlook:   Which type of AMR chassis is best for your application? In this article, we’ll break down the  four most common AMR base types , comparing their structures, advantages, limitations, and use cases to help you choose the right foundation for your mobile robot. 1. Differential Drive Chassis How It Works: This chassis uses two powered wheels and one or two passive caster wheels. Directional movement is controlled by adjusting the speed of the two drive wheels. Pros: Simple mechanical design, low cost Mature, easy-to-implement control algorithms Ideal for light-duty, small-scale AMR projects Cons: Large turning radius, poor maneuverability in tight spaces Limited traction and ground ada...

How Autonomous Forklifts Navigate Multi-Floor Warehouses

As warehouses grow more vertical to maximize space, one major challenge emerges in automation: 👉 How can autonomous forklifts operate across multiple floors, including elevators and stairwells? Unlike traditional single-floor logistics, multi-story warehouse automation demands more than mobility—it requires intelligence, adaptability, and seamless coordination. This is where AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) forklifts come into play. 1. The Multi-Floor Navigation Challenge In older buildings or dense urban areas, vertical expansion is often the only viable option. But with it comes a unique set of challenges: Many elevators are manually operated or lack smart interfaces. Corridors can be narrow, and floor heights inconsistent. Wireless signal coverage is often patchy across floors. Each floor may follow different workflows or handling protocols. Without proper integration, even the most advanced robot can become stuck—literally—in an elevator shaft. 2. How AMR Forklifts Ov...
