Remote control
An operator can remotely drive the platform and position the robot before unloading or loading begins.
KRONA U1 container loading and unloading robot.
KRONA U1 loads containers with boxes from pallets or conveyors. The same mobile robot unloads eligible floor-loaded cardboard boxes from shipping containers and trailers onto pallets or conveyors.
Assess loading or unloading
Tell us whether you need loading, unloading or both, and how cartons reach or leave the robot.
Load and unload containers with one mobile robot.
KRONA U1 unloads floor-loaded cartons up to 25 kg onto a conveyor or directly onto pallets, and loads containers with boxes from pallets or conveyors. One mobile robot handles both directions of flow.

- 2 modes
- Loading and unloadingThe same mobile KRONA U1.
- Up to 85%
- Lower unloading costIn suitable operations.
A robot that moves with the work.
A robotic arm, vacuum gripper, and vision system on one mobile platform. Move KRONA U1 between work areas and position it inside the container.
Movement in any direction
Move forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally with 360° directional movement. Align the robot with the freight and conveyor.
Wheels for ramps and uneven ground
Large wheels and their arrangement help the platform negotiate ramps, thresholds, and small obstacles between the warehouse and container.
We assess ramp gradients, threshold heights, and surface conditions for your site.
Unload and load with the same robot.
Unload cartons up to 25 kg from a container onto a conveyor or pallets. Load the container with boxes from pallets or conveyors using the same KRONA U1.
For container loading and unloading.
The system unloads trailers and shipping containers and loads containers with boxes from pallets or conveyors. We confirm suitability by testing your representative boxes and chosen operation.
Best suited to
- Closed cardboard boxes weighing up to 25 kg
- Dry surfaces suitable for vacuum gripping
- Repeatable carton flow to or from conveyors or pallets
- Regular container or trailer volume
Needs individual review
- Open, wet, or heavily damaged boxes
- Bags, drums, and loose goods
- Unstable or highly mixed freight
- Sites without space for a safeguarded area
Load containers from pallets or conveyors.
KRONA U1 loads containers with eligible closed cardboard boxes. Define the source arrangement and required placement sequence together with the vehicle geometry.
Pallet supply
Show how the required cartons become accessible, how source pallets are replenished and which preparation tasks remain with people or separately specified equipment. Agree carton identification and the order available to the loading robot.
Conveyor supply
Specify carton orientation, spacing, transfer height and arrival order. Define who releases a carton, what confirms the placement and how the supply stops when the loading position is unavailable.
Use the container and truck loading solution guide to compare the complete arrangements, or prepare a mixed-SKU loading brief.
Loading throughput and finished-load requirements are assessed for the application.
Check the freight, dock and carton flow.
Representative cartons and site details let us agree a practical test.
Share the freight profile
Filled carton weights and dimensions, condition, tape, labels, load-wall photos and recurring container volume.
Review the site and handoff
Accessible carton faces, doors, floors, ramps and thresholds, robot and safeguarded space, conveyor capacity or pallet replacement for unloading, and box supply from pallets or conveyors for loading.
Agree pilot acceptance
Sustained flow including stops, eligible freight coverage, operator assistance, damage, recovery and complete dock occupancy.
Evaluate the monthly plan
Confirm service scope, support and terms. Following an accepted trial, decide whether to continue.
The maximum carton weight is 25 kg; up to 10 boxes per minute is a peak unloading specification. Loading sequence, throughput and complete process time are assessed separately for the outbound application.
