New still axl 15 igo autonomous electric pallet truck
Presented as a world premiere at LogiMAT 2026, the AXL 15 iGo automates truck loading and unloading STILL, a leading supplier of intralogistics systems and equipment, is presenting a true milestone in intralogistics at LogiMAT 2026: the first production-ready solution on the market for automating truck loading and unloading without the need for fixed safety technology at the loading bay. With the new autonomous AXL 15 iGo electric pallet truck, STILL is closing one of the last major gaps in warehouse automation: the management of incoming and outgoing goods directly at the loading bay. Automation comes to the loading bay The loading bay area is traditionally characterized by tight deadlines, staff shortages, night shifts, and challenging operating conditions, from high summer temperatures to freezing winter temperatures. Furthermore, limited space, variable trailer geometries, and very stringent safety requirements must be addressed. While many companies have long since automated warehouses, internal transport, and handling systems, truck loading and unloading has remained a process considered difficult to automate. “With the AXL 15 iGo, we're filling a historic gap in intralogistics, making automated truck loading and unloading an accessible and easily implementable standard for the first time,” explains Matteo Piantanida, Head of Sales Automation at STILL in Italy. “Our solution makes receiving and shipping goods more efficient, safe, predictable, and reliable. Process standardization enables repeatable workflows, significantly increasing operational stability and transparency. This is a key step in our strategy: to offer scalable automation solutions for every area of intralogistics.” Thirty pallets in thirty-five minutes in an autonomous, flexible and safe way The AXL 15 iGo autonomous pallet truck was specifically developed for automating truck loading and unloading: two vehicles operating in tandem can autonomously load up to 30 EPAL pallets in approximately 35 minutes. Thanks to innovative localization and positioning logic integrated with a new, holistic safety concept, the truck can automatically recognize the trailer's internal configuration and precisely position the pallets. A particularly significant advantage for users is that the AXL 15 iGo does not require any fixed safety systems at the gate, such as scanners or reflectors installed on the bay or in the trailer. This makes the solution highly flexible, quick to implement, and easy to integrate into existing operations. Safety and precision in the tightest spaces To ensure safe handling and precise navigation, the AXL 15 iGo uses two complementary technologies: on the outside of the trailer, it uses Visual SLAM 3D localization technology; on the inside, it uses LiDAR-based localization, which allows for centimeter-level accuracy. The truck also integrates LiDAR safety scanners, camera systems, light and acoustic signals, and 3D pallet detection. A solution for multiple sectors The AXL 15 iGo is particularly suited to sectors with high volumes of pallets and standardized load units, such as 3PL operators, food logistics, retail, and manufacturing companies. With a load capacity of up to 1,500 kg and a speed of up to 2 m/s, the truck can meet a wide range of industrial needs. Integration into automated fleets is scalable via a VDA 5050 interface, a dedicated fleet manager, and open APIs for warehouse management systems (WMS). World premiere at LogiMAT 2026 STILL will present the AXL 15 iGo to the public for the first time at LogiMAT 2026, in Hall 10, Stands B40 and B41. The truck will be available immediately after the trade fair. “Our customers ask us for solutions that can be implemented immediately. That's why we chose to launch the product only once it was ready for rapid market release,” says Piantanida.
