About SlipLift Trailer Automation Platform

SlipLift separates the autonomous robot from the freight carrier. Workers stage pallets or parcels on a configurable SlipCarrier; the robot lifts it, aligns at the trailer, enters autonomously, sets the carrier down and returns to serve another load or dock door.

The platform handles up to 20,000 lb and works across regional distribution and last-mile routes where the robot cannot travel with every trailer. Swappable batteries, handheld control, LiDAR, dock monitoring and fleet software are included within Slip Robotics’ service package.
