REEMAN Brings Waterproof Autonomous Pallet Handling to Outdoor Factory Logistics
REEMAN introduces the REEMAN Waterproof Ant, a 2-ton outdoor waterproof autonomous forklift purpose-built for rainy-day factory operations. Its whole-vehicle waterproof design helps protect critical components against rain and water splashes, while IP67-tested LiDAR, laser SLAM navigation, and automatic pallet handling connect material transportation across warehouses, workshops, and outdoor factory routes.
For manufacturers with separate buildings, the route between a warehouse and a production workshop often includes an open factory road. REEMAN developed this forklift specifically for that working environment, combining waterproof vehicle design with autonomous pickup, transportation, and delivery.

Whole-Vehicle Waterproof Design for Outdoor Rainy-Day Operation
The Waterproof Ant is designed for waterproof protection at the vehicle level. Outdoor rain exposure and water splashes are part of its intended industrial application, with whole-vehicle waterproof design forming the foundation of the product.
This approach addresses a practical gap in factory automation: materials still need to move when their route extends outside. By bringing waterproof design together with autonomous transportation, REEMAN enables manufacturers to include paved outdoor factory roads and rain-exposed logistics areas in their automation plans.
From Warehouse Doors to Inter-Workshop Routes
A pallet may leave a warehouse, cross an outdoor road, and enter a production workshop. Finished goods may follow another route from a workshop to a loading area. The Waterproof Ant is developed for these connected indoor–outdoor tasks, helping reduce repeated manual handoffs between separate transportation stages.
Deployment is planned around the actual route, pallet, load, ground conditions, and traffic environment. This allows the waterproof autonomous forklift to serve the facility's material flow with pickup and delivery points configured for the job.
Whole-vehicle waterproof design is combined with IP67-tested laser sensing for outdoor factory applications.
IP67-Tested LiDAR and Laser SLAM Navigation
48-Channel LiDAR with a Maximum Detection Range of 150 m
The top-mounted 48-channel LiDAR sensor has passed IP67 protection testing for water and dust resistance. Its maximum specified detection range is 150 meters, supplying environmental information for navigation and localization across industrial facilities.
The combination of protected laser sensing and waterproof vehicle design supports the forklift's outdoor application. Laser-based obstacle detection and a front safety bumper add protection during autonomous transportation.

Autonomous Navigation without Magnetic Strips or QR Codes
Laser SLAM navigation allows the forklift to map its surroundings, localize itself, and follow configured transportation routes without magnetic strips or floor-mounted QR codes. Pickup points, receiving locations, and operating routes are defined during deployment.
For factories connecting several work areas, this supports a flexible route layout built around production needs. Indoor warehouse aisles, building entrances, and approved outdoor factory roads can become parts of one connected transportation workflow.
2-Ton Automatic Pallet Handling, from Pickup to Delivery
The REEMAN Waterproof Ant has a rated load capacity of 2,000 kg. It is designed primarily for horizontal transportation of compatible palletized raw materials, components, semi-finished products, and finished goods.
Automatic Recognition, Fork Alignment, and Pickup
Pallet recognition, 3D vision, and fork-tip TOF sensing support pallet detection and fork alignment. The forklift approaches a configured pickup point, identifies the pallet, aligns its forks, picks up the load, and transports it to the designated receiving location.
The fork length is 1,125 mm and the outer fork width is 550 mm. Pallet openings, bottom structure, load distribution, and pickup space are checked during project evaluation to match the forklift to the actual load carrier.
A Connected Material Transportation Workflow
- Receive a transportation task and travel to the designated pickup location.
- Identify a compatible pallet and align the forks with the pallet openings.
- Pick up the load for horizontal transportation.
- Follow the configured route through indoor and outdoor factory areas.
- Place the pallet at the designated delivery point.
- Proceed to the next task or return for charging as scheduled.
With a maximum fork height of 208 mm, this model is intended for pallet pickup and horizontal transfer. High-rack storage requires an autonomous stacking model selected for the required lifting height.
Applications Across Warehouses, Workshops, and Outdoor Factory Roads
The Waterproof Ant is suitable for factories whose pallet flows extend across indoor and outdoor work areas. Its waterproof design and autonomous handling capabilities support several common industrial transportation needs:
- Warehouse-to-workshop delivery: move palletized raw materials or components from storage to designated production receiving points.
- Inter-workshop transportation: connect separate production buildings through configured outdoor routes.
- Production-to-loading-area transfer: transport finished goods to designated staging or loading locations.
- Receiving-to-storage movement: bring compatible palletized goods from receiving points into the warehouse workflow.
Integration with Factory Logistics Systems
REEMAN supports API integration with WMS, MES, ERP, and other factory systems. Custom integration with automatic doors, elevators, and production equipment can also be evaluated according to project requirements. The final workflow is configured around the facility's equipment, communication interfaces, and operating sequence.
