Supported Pallets and Loads

The J1600 handles any forkable carrier with an open base and no bottom deck board, within its size and weight envelope. This page defines that envelope and the fork geometry a carrier must accommodate.

Load envelope

Parameter	Limit
Maximum pallet/load length, including overhang	1,250 mm / 49 in
Maximum pallet/load width, including overhang	1,250 mm / 49 in
Maximum load height from floor	1,700 mm / 67 in
Maximum payload	1,600 kg / about 3,500 lb

The exact envelope is 1,250 mm; some summaries round it to 1.2 m, but 1,250 mm is the figure to plan with.

Supported carrier types

Category	Support
EPAL	EPAL Euro Pallet, EPAL 3, EPAL 6
GMA	All GMA (Grocery Manufacturers Association) pallets with an open base
Custom carriers	Any forkable open-base carrier within the size limits

Examples beyond standard pallets include open cages, barrels, and carriers for sensitive loads. The working rule from the product team: everything that is open underneath can be picked up, within the envelope.

Fork geometry

Carriers must accept the J1600's forks:

Parameter	Value
Fork length	1,150 mm / 45 in
Fork width	180 mm / 7 in
Fork thickness	60 mm / 2.4 in
Fork outer distance	680 mm / 27 in
Fork inner distance	320 mm / 13 in
Fork height, lowest	90 mm / 3.5 in
Fork height, highest	1,600 mm / 63 in

Judgment still applies

Compatibility depends on base geometry, size, stability, and operator judgment. No blanket approval exists for every carrier or for hazardous materials. Sensitive or unstable loads — top-heavy stacks, leaning pallets, barrels — should be picked and closely maneuvered manually, with autonomous mode reserved for the transport leg. See Manual Operation and the Operator Manual.

Handling heights

• Manual pick and drop: up to 1,600 mm (63 in).
• Autonomous delivery: floor level only.
