With more than 120 products launched onto either the European or global market at LogiMAT 2026 in Stuttgart recently it is impossible to cover them all, but here we have picked out some of the biggest, more interesting and latest technology exhibits to offer a good taste of what was on show.

Jungheinrich held one of the largest exhibits at the event, covering 1,160sqm, where much of the focus was on the German materials handling equipment maker’s new full range of counterbalance forklifts - from its entry-level AntOn to its high-performance flagship FalcOn model.

Included in this range and launched at the event are the EFG2/2i and 3/3i Series counterbalance forklifts with capacities up to 2T. These two series feature compact design for use in narrow warehouses and production areas.

Jungheinrich also launched the reach truck ETV4i, extending its range of high-performance reach trucks, with lifting speeds up to 1.5m/s, and featuring a fully integrated lithium-ion battery.

The FalcOn was also being showcased and features a load capacity of 5T with a driving speed of 2km/h.

Fellow German manufacturer Linde Material Handling also hosted a large exhibition where it unveiled its new Ri14 to Ri models of reach trucks,  built with a compact design for operations in tight spaces, and powered by integrated lithium-ion batteries. The reach trucks have capacities between 1.4T and 1.8T.

Automation was a real focus for Linde which also launched its I-MATIC core series of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), available with single or double forks or paper clamps, with a lift capacity of 4T and lift height up to 6.7m, as well as its new Linde AC core AGV which also has a 4T capacity.

And among other products to be showcased by Linde was Carl, the humanoid robot which acted as a bar-tender throughout the event.

“Automation is a highlight for us at this event,” explains Linde’s senior director of marketing & brand communications, Dr Monika Laurent-Junge. “Autonomy has opened up new possibilities and our products demonstrate this.”

Hamburg-based Intralogistics solutions provider STILL introduced its AXL iGo autonomous low lift pallet truck which it describes as “an absolute world first” which closes “the last major gap in warehouse automation”, autonomous truck loading and unloading. The AXL iGo has a 1.5kg capacity and a lift speed of 7.2km/h.

Last week Forkliftaction News covered a number of other launches from LogiMAT 2026 including the unveiling by Chinese materials handling producer Hangcha of its EZGO mini pallet AMR, and Toyota Material Handling Europe launching its Traigo80 electric counterbalance forklift for heavy-duty applications.

TMH Europe was also highlighting other recent launches including the E-steer touch display for Optio low level pickers as well Swarm Automation Transport, its new AGV system combining its SAI125CB automated counterbalance stacker with its T-ONE control software.

Chinese materials handling equipment producer SANY exhibited for the first time at LogiMAT, and made a splash debuting its full line of forklifts and smart warehousing solutions at the event.

SANY unveiled its three-wheel, lithium-ion counterbalance forklift for the European market, which it has billed as the “narrow aisle sprinter”, along with its Blue Electric Forklift Fleet comprised of three-wheel forklifts, high-voltage lithium-ion models, and warehouse forklifts.

“On-site demonstrations put automated forklifts through complex operating scenarios—including soft-pack stacking, high-bay stacking, and high-precision stacking—highlighting SANY's capabilities in intelligent warehousing systems,” the company states.

Bobcat used LogiMAT to announce the launch of its DV180S-9 and 250S-9 diesel forklift which are the largest machines in the company’s line-up.

The forklifts have capacities of 18T and 25T respectively, with a load centre of 1,200mm and are driven by a HDI DL08V diesel engine with a four-speed power transmission.

Bobcat also highlighted three of its electric forklifts (B18NT, B25NS and B80NS) and its high performance TL25.60 compact telehandler at the event.

Bobcat says the new diesel forklifts were built to deliver “exceptional durability, advanced safety and superior operator comfort” in demanding environments.

Clark Europe launched its Clark Fusion lithium-ion battery with special charger which can be used to charge both 48V and 80V batteries. Compatible with Clark’s electric forklift models, from the compact three and four-wheel forklifts to larger machinery.

Clark also used the event to highlight its S-Series electric forklifts, its Raider and Renegade crossover electric series range and its SE20 electric forklift.

Equipment manufacturer Baoli showcased its new KBP15E compact pallet truck, which has been designed for areas where there is limited space, and powered by lithium-ion.

Fellow equipment manufacturer Hubtex introduced its FLUX 30 multidirectional counterbalance forklift with a capacity up to 3T, and its new MSL 50 multi-directional side loader developed to carry heavy and long loads outdoors.

Lithium battery solutions provider ROYPOW presented its DC fast charger mobile energy storage system designed for 24V-100V, low-speed equipment including forklifts. The system is onsite deployable and offers flexible recharging from the grid.

Ji Zhang, ROYPOW's regional sales manager in Europe for technology, also tells Forkliftaction News the business has been testing sodium batteries, and with such encouraging results expects to release sodium batteries onto the market next year.

Cascade Corporation unveiled its all-electric iQ mast, which it says completes the final step in the full electrification of a forklift or automated guided vehicle (AGV).

The iQ also offers up to 50% energy regeneration back to the battery during mast lowering.

Davide Roncari, president and CEO with Cascade, speaking with Forkliftaction News, explains the mast has been two years in the making and the energy regeneration saves up to 17% of the battery life.

“We are very excited about this,” Roncari continues. “It is the last piece of the machine to be electrified which lowers the total cost of ownership.

“It has the same mechanical structure as an ordinary mast and the same lift speed and capacity, but it is completely programmable. This is more about the brain of the mast.”

German forklift attachment maker KAUP presented its Smart Load Control (SLC) 2.0 system, with managing director Holger Kaup saying its first SLC is now installed, with several hundred globally.

"With version 2.0, we are now bridging the gap between minimal handling damage and the working speed familiar from conventional appliance clamps,” Kaup continues.

Crown showcased its WJ 50 Series electric pedestrian pallet picker, which recently received an iF Design award, and GPC Series order picker.

The company was also displaying its InfoLink operator and fleet management systems at the show. The LiDAR-based technology actively limits travels speeds as a forklift approaches a detected object.

“LogiMAT is one of the most important international trade fairs for the material handling industry. We are delighted to showcase many product highlights this year, particularly the new ProximityAssist System, and to offer visitors the chance to experience it first-hand at our booth,” says Ken Dufford, vice president Europe at Crown.

Irish materials handling equipment maker Combilift was showcasing its Combi CB70E 7T capacity electric multidirectional forklift which is a 2025 Red Dot winner for product design. 

Martin McVicar, CEO and co-founder of Combilift, told Forkliftaction News the company’s research had revealed the fastest growing product range was currently “in the pedestrian field”.

“We will be bringing out, this year, a capacity up to 4T in a pedestrian truck,” he added. While declining to add any specific details about the new product, McVicar explains it will be available globally.

“More and more in manufacturing plants, people want to remove sit-down forklifts where possible,” McVicar continues. “Businesses want pedestrian vehicles because of safety where the operator is at the centre.

“You can’t get 360-degree visibility in a sit-down forklift, so we have been creating steps to enhance visibility.

“Our intention is to manufacture larger capacity pedestrian trucks.”

Italian forklift and AGV attachment maker, Bolzoni, launched its new Auramo AR-C paper role clamp, which has a 4.2T capacity and is equipped with electronic assist functions for more predictable handling, reduced risk of damage, and increased productivity. It will be available next month.

Bolzoni also held a live demonstration of the MEYER 2/1 multiple pallet handler with a capacity up to 2.6T, which includes a combined camera system in the fork tip and on clamp body for additional safety, as well as showcasing its electric operated single stage AGV mast side-shifting fork positioner (AM25VA2001).
