About KRONA ROBOT

KRONA ROBOT supplies robots for carton handling and pallet transport: KRONA U1 container loading and unloading, KRONA-branded autonomous forklifts and lifting AGVs, and connected warehouse applications.

Founded in 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania, we build KRONA U1 to take on the repetitive, physically demanding work of unloading trailers and shipping containers, and loading containers with boxes from pallets or conveyors.

What KRONA ROBOT does

Autonomous trailer and container unloading

KRONA U1 picks eligible closed cardboard boxes from floor-loaded trailers and shipping containers. It handles boxes up to 25 kg, helping receiving teams reduce manual lifting and move freight out of the vehicle.

Conveyor handoff and direct palletizing

The same mobile robot can unload onto a conveyor or place boxes directly onto adjacent pallets. These two modes let you match the handoff to your receiving process; sorting in the conveyor workflow belongs to your downstream system.

Container loading from pallets or conveyors

KRONA U1 also picks boxes from pallets or conveyors and places them inside shipping containers. We assess carton suitability, box supply and the container layout for your loading operation.

KRONA autonomous forklifts and lifting AGVs

Move defined pallet or carrier loads between receiving, production and storage positions. We select the KRONA-branded vehicle and handling arrangement around the load, route and required pickup and delivery.

Connected carton and pallet workflows

Plan the carton-handling robot, conveyors, pallet building and AGV movement together. The proposal defines the equipment, handoffs, task confirmations and application tests for the complete flow.

Freight and site assessment

We review representative box photographs, dimensions, weights, loading patterns, and the dock layout before confirming suitability. Testing gripping, handoff, and the safeguarded area gives your team a clear basis for deciding whether to proceed.

Deployment, operator training, and commercial plans

For accepted operations, we deploy the system, train the site team, and agree operating limits and the measures to track. Pay per use at an hourly rate, with a one-time installation fee. We can also supply conveyors. Your rate, equipment scope and terms are tailored to your operation. Robot purchase is offered privately to integrators.

What makes KRONA ROBOT different

Two unloading modes in one mobile robot

KRONA U1 offers conveyor handoff and direct palletizing with the same robot. It also loads containers with boxes from pallets or conveyors. Mujin describes TruckBot as attaching to a telescoping conveyor, so compare the complete receiving workflow and equipment needed for each proposal.

A carton weight specification of up to 25 kg

KRONA U1 is specified for eligible closed cardboard boxes weighing up to 25 kg. Boston Dynamics lists a 50 lb limit (about 22.7 kg) for Stretch; carton condition, dimensions, and gripping suitability still need assessment for either system.

Rental and private integrator offers

Pay per use at an hourly rate, with a one-time installation fee. We can also supply conveyors. Your rate, equipment scope and terms are tailored to your operation. Integrators can request a private robot purchase offer.

Conveyors for your workflow

We can supply conveyors alongside KRONA U1. Equipment, handoff and integration scope are agreed after reviewing your receiving process.

Special offers for integrators and distributors

KRONA has a special offer for system integrators and distributors. Contact our team to discuss your projects and receive partner pricing and terms.

Who uses KRONA ROBOT

KRONA is built for the following operations with recurring closed cardboard-box freight and control of their dock, whether unloading floor-loaded cartons or loading containers from pallets or conveyors:

  • Third-party logistics (3PL) and contract logistics operators unloading boxed freight for multiple customers.
  • Importers and wholesale distribution centres receiving floor-loaded cartons in shipping containers.
  • Retail and e-commerce distribution centres receiving recurring trailer or container loads of boxed stock.
  • Freight-forwarding warehouses that physically unload floor-loaded boxes at their own facilities.

Freight fit is assessed using representative cartons up to 25 kg, weekly unloading or loading volume, available dock time, and conveyor or pallet handoff or supply. These are intended customer segments; we do not currently publish client references.

The team behind KRONA ROBOT

Founded in Vilnius in 2026

KRONA was founded to address a specific logistics task: moving floor-loaded boxes out of trailers and containers. We bring robotics and logistics experience together to build a system around real freight, receiving processes, and measurable operating results.

Robotics and logistics experience

Our team combines robotics engineering and logistics expertise, with members who have worked or studied in relevant organisations in Lithuania and abroad. Assessment and deployment bring the engineering work together with the site's dock layout, operator responsibilities, and receiving process.

How KRONA ROBOT works

  1. Start with your operation

    Contact us through the website enquiry form or info@kronarobot.com in Lithuanian or English. Share box photographs, weights, dimensions, weekly volumes, and current unloading or loading time so the team can review your freight.

  2. Work through the freight and dock assessment

    The KRONA team reviews representative cartons, gripping, handoff, site infrastructure, and safety arrangements with your operations team. Response and assessment timings depend on the information and testing required; we do not publish a fixed response-time commitment.

  3. Agree deployment and onboarding

    Before deployment, we agree the site requirements, operating limits, operator actions, and the measures to track. We schedule installation and operator training around site readiness and testing, rather than a standard turnaround time.

  4. Operate on your chosen plan

    Pay per use at an hourly rate, with a one-time installation fee. We can also supply conveyors. Your rate, equipment scope and terms are tailored to your operation. Integrator purchase terms are provided privately before deployment.
