Oceaneering International, Inc. (NYSE:OII) announces that its Oceaneering Mobile Robotics (OMR) business has been awarded contracts by a leading international manufacturer for the delivery of 85 MaxMover™ CB D 2000 autonomous counterbalance forklifts to three of their manufacturing facilities. The forklift systems are scheduled for staggered delivery between early 2023 and early 2024. The scope of the contracts includes installation, on-site systems-integration services and training, as well as 24/7 hotline support and remote software services.
The MaxMover™ vehicle is a robotic forklift capable of lifting 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) and moving autonomously in support of manufacturing and assembly processes and warehouse material movements. This forklift was designed to retain the desired capabilities of conventional forklifts, including differential drives to allow pivot turning and comparable maximum speeds, while leveraging autonomous capabilities to create operating efficiencies. Importantly, the MaxMover™ software platform is designed to easily integrate with new and existing facility environments, while accommodating future upgrades to further enhance operating capabilities. In addition, its high-performance battery design and quiet operating features enhance employee safety and help create healthier work surroundings.
