Hakuou Robotics Inc. has announced that the first production lot (10 units) of its mass-produced autonomous forklift, "AutoFork," has completely sold out approximately three months after its launch in late December 2025. Unlike conventional autonomous forklifts that often remain in the PoC stage, AutoFork has successfully transitioned to full-scale operational use at multiple sites, including Sawafuji Electric Co., Ltd. and major logistics hubs. The system features proprietary self-driving software and object recognition technology, enabling quick setup—sometimes within a single day. The company is currently preparing the next production lot, scheduled for delivery in late May 2026, with orders already being placed as demand for automated material handling continues to grow.
