Description

High handling capacity and space utilisation, maximum flexibility and precision, customised configuration and a wide range of vehicle variants – the FM-X iGo automated reach truck is the reliable and powerful partner for storing and retrieving goods in wide-aisle and high-bay warehouses. With residual capacities from 1,200 kg to 2,500 kg and a maximum storage height of 9.8 metres, it offers maximum efficiency and storage density. For a particularly narrow aisle width – only 3,000 mm depending on the vehicle version – the safety scanners have been integrated directly into the chassis. This allows the FM-X iGo to operate in narrow aisles with ease, which is a major advantage when used in existing warehouse layouts, where the aisles are often tailored to the width of manual handling equipment.

For pallet handling, the cantilever forks and innovative Pallet Positioning System (PPS) with integrated sideshift ensure maximum precision and flexibility, while the multi-level safety system guarantees maximum safety for people and processes. With its safety scanners and sensors, it reliably protects people, machine and load – even in mixed operation with manual vehicles. Standard safety features include safety laser scanners, visual and audible warning devices as well as multiple emergency stop switches. If required, dual operation is easily possible and does not require any modification.

Innovations

With the FM-X iGo, STILL is once again placing the needs of its customers at the centre of its product development. Thanks to its industrial production, the FM-X iGo stands out from comparable competitive products in terms of production speed and service quality. This also applies to safety. The FM-X iGo meets all the requirements of ISO 3691-4, the safety standard for driverless industrial trucks. Given the increasing importance of occupational safety, this is an important decision criterion for many companies.

The digital service concept and standardized design guarantee flexible service and high vehicle availability, as they ensure high parts availability via the STILL spare parts supply and enable fast service for automation as well. Based on a “digital twin” of each truck, software components can be replaced at any time by the local service technician the customer knows and trusts.

Visually, the FM-X iGo stands out with its slim silhouette, made possible by fitting the safety scanners into the chassis. Another new feature is the optional lithium-ion equipment, a development that is important for fleet availability and cost-effectiveness in the context of smart charging and energy management solutions in the automation segment.

Market relevance

Industry-wide challenges such as competitive and cost pressures, shortages of skilled labour and stringent occupational health and safety requirements mean that scalable and fast-to-implement automation solutions are becoming increasingly attractive to companies with smaller fleets and lower volumes. In the past, the use of automated vehicles was often not economically attractive for them due to the high implementation costs. The FM-X iGo changes this – with high cost efficiency, fast implementation and standardised safety in accordance with ISO standard 3691-4.

It also excels wherever existing space and storage layouts need to be optimally utilised. In addition to the narrow aisle width, the FM-X iGo particularly impresses with its storage height of up to 9.8 metres and the resulting high level of storage compaction.

Customer benefits

With its scalability and uncomplicated commissioning, STILL’s FM-X iGo also offers companies with smaller fleets smart access to automated solutions for internal goods transport. In addition to fast availability, the simple and quick commissioning with the iGo easy plug-and-play solution makes the investment in automated reach trucks economically attractive even for smaller volumes.

The same applies to the high quality of service: standardised trucks and the STILL digital service concept are the basis for fast, flexible and highly available service via the comprehensive STILL service organisation and STILL spare parts supply.
