Seegrid Corporation, a leading manufacturer of autonomous mobile robot (AMR) solutions for palletized material handling, is proud to announce that its groundbreaking Lift CR1 AMR has been named Modern Material Handling’s 2024 Reader’s Choice Product of the Year. This recognition underscores the CR1’s innovative design and invaluable combination of lift height and capacity, setting a new standard for autonomous lift trucks in the material handling industry.

The CR1 will be a main attraction at Seegrid’s ProMat 2025 booth (#N6742), where attendees can witness firsthand its cutting-edge technology. Designed to revolutionize operations for modern industrial facilities, the CR1 combines power and precision with industry-leading safety features.

“We are honored to have Seegrid’s newest autonomous lift truck, the CR1, be recognized by the readers of Modern Material Handling,” said David Griffin, Chief Sales Officer at Seegrid. “This award highlights our commitment to listening to customer’s needs and delivering industry-leading autonomous solutions that work—driving safety, efficiency, and ROI.”


Innovation That Elevates The Lift CR1 AMR is built to handle the most demanding applications, boasting an industry-leading 15-foot lift height and a 4,000-pound payload capacity. Seegrid’s proprietary Sliding Scale Autonomy technology—a unique hybrid of AMR agility and AGV predictability—allows the CR1 to adapt to dynamic environments and diverse material handling workflows. From long-haul transport to precise pick-and-drop operations, the CR1 optimizes efficiency and reliability.

Equipped with advanced LiDAR-based SLAM technology, the CR1 dynamically plans routes in real time, eliminating concerns over map aging and reducing the need for ongoing manual intervention. The result? Seamless navigation and operational continuity in even the most complex facilities.

Safety at the Core As with all Seegrid AMRs, the CR1 is designed with safety as a top priority, incorporating both primary and secondary obstruction detection systems. This comprehensive approach ensures the AMR’s entire height is protected, enhancing safety in busy and dynamic environments. Additionally, the CR1’s precise drop zone scanning further minimizes risks for more accurate and secure payload handling.

With a fleet that totals nearly 16 million autonomous miles logged and zero reportable safety incidents, Seegrid AMRs are highly trusted by leading global brands to revolutionize their material handling operations without compromising safety.

Revolutionizing the Industry The CR1 is already poised to make a significant impact, with its first deployment planned at a globally recognized customer site early this year. By combining infrastructure-free navigation with its innovative safety and operational features, the CR1 exemplifies Seegrid’s dedication to advancing material handling technology.

Experience the CR1 at ProMat 2025 ProMat attendees are encouraged to visit Seegrid at booth #N6742 for an up-close look at the award-winning Lift CR1 AMR. Live demonstrations will showcase precise pick and drops for an over/under cell, building and depleting lanes, and fleet management integrations using Seegrid’s enterprise fleet management software.
