The hard part usually isn't the robot
A wheeled robot can cross a warehouse floor and dock itself without help. Then it reaches three concrete steps at a side door and the route ends.
Rebuilding the entrance means permits and a construction schedule. Retrofitting an elevator costs more than most sites will approve. A platform lift or a ramp solves it for a fraction of either.
Built for heavier loads than yours
Rated for 750 lb and up
These lifts carry an occupied power wheelchair. Most wheeled robots weigh a fraction of that, so payload is rarely the limiting factor.
No shaft required
A platform lift needs a concrete pad and a power run, not a hoistway. That's what makes it work on an existing building.
Built for outdoors
These lifts live outside year-round. Loading docks, side entrances and courtyards are ordinary territory.
Common places a route dead-ends
- Loading docks and service entrances
- Apartment and condo buildings with stepped entries
- Hotels, resorts and campuses
- Hospitals, clinics and senior living
- Warehouses between floor and dock height
- Schools, libraries and municipal buildings
What we'd need to know
