TREY Autonomous Forklift

About

About TREY Autonomous Forklift

TREY is Gideon’s autonomous counterbalanced forklift for loading and unloading palletized goods from truck trailers. Medium Duty and Heavy Duty chassis address different load classes: the current specifications list capacities of 1,600 and 2,722 kilograms respectively. The two configurations use AI vision and autonomous navigation to work with multiple pallet and trailer types.

Browser-based fleet software coordinates multiple vehicles and connects with WMS, WES and MES systems. Medium Duty TREY is rated for more than 12 hours at full charge, while Heavy Duty is rated above 10 hours; both support opportunity charging. A 360-degree laser-scanner field protects workers around the vehicle, and pallet detection and mapping reduce the fixed infrastructure needed in a loading bay.

  • Gideon launches TREY for autonomous trailer loading

    2022-04-21 - Product Launch - TREY was designed to load and unload pallets autonomously while working in dynamic loading-bay environments alongside people. Gideon said the workflow could save more than 80% of a worker’s time during trailer loading and unloading. The system combined AI and 3D-vision autonomy, workflow-orchestration software and a purpose-built counterbalanced chassis.
