A robot wins Industrial Truck of the Year – and redraws the pallet-jack category
- The Mobile Robot Company's J1600, a pallet jack that can operate manually or autonomously, won the IFOY Award 2026 Industrial Truck of the Year in the Warehouse Truck lowlifter category.
- An independent jury selected the J1600 after practical testing and a scientific Innovation Check, recognizing it as a new product level between classic automated guided vehicles and manual pallet jacks.
- Manual pallet jacks require an operator for every meter traveled, while classic automated guided vehicles need engineered systems with fixed processes and specialist integration.
- Emil Hauch Jensen, CEO of The Mobile Robot Company, stated that the J1600 was designed to fill the gap between these two extremes of warehouse automation.
