Redefining Outdoor Logistics: L.U.G.V. – The World’s Most Capable All-Terrain Forklift
In an era where mobility, autonomy, and efficiency define modern operations, we introduce the LUGV – a next-generation autonomous logistics platform engineered to deliver unmatched performance in the toughest environments. Designed as a fully electric all-terrain forklift, the LUGV bridges the gap between traditional warehouse handling equipment and rugged field logistics, offering a smart, stable, and sustainable solution for outdoor logistics and supply chain operations in any sector.
Engineered for Extreme Terrain and Heavy Loads
The LUGV is purpose-built to go where ordinary forklifts can’t. From mud and sand to ice, rubble, and steep inclines up to 38°, this vehicle ensures continuous logistics flow even in the harshest terrain conditions. Its gravity-stabilized platform keeps cargo perfectly level, automatically adjusting to ground changes to prevent load shifts or accidents.
With a payload capacity of 3.5 tonnes and a lifting capacity of 2 tonnes, the LUGV easily handles Euro-pallets and heavy field equipment — making it ideal for defence supply lines, emergency response operations, industrial sites, and remote construction zones.
Autonomous or Remote — Total Control at Your Fingertips
Operators can choose between full autonomy or remote control using an advanced command unit, giving them complete flexibility in challenging or hazardous environments. When visibility is limited or proximity control is required, FPV (First Person View) goggles provide real-time situational awareness, turning the LUGV into a true remote control forklift for safe, precise handling at distance.
Unlike GPS-dependent systems, the LUGV can operate reliably even in GNSS-denied environments, using PeK Defence’s proprietary R-wave 2D MP radar and deployable radio beacon markers for precise positioning and navigation.
Compact, Easily Transportable, and Ready for Deployment
Weighing only 2 tonnes, the LUGV is light enough to be transported on a standard light-car trailer – requiring only a B+E driver’s license. There’s no need for heavy haulage, permits, or escort vehicles. This plug-and-play logistics vehicle can be deployed quickly and easily wherever it’s needed most.
Electric Power - Military-Grade Efficiency
The LUGV’s fully electric drivetrain ensures silent operation, minimal maintenance, and extremely low running costs. With 8–12 hours of operation, it delivers a full operational shift of reliable, emission-free performance. For organizations looking to modernize and decarbonize their logistics chain, the LUGV is the most efficient solution on the market.
The platform can be easily customized to support a wide range of mission profiles:
- Defence: Transport of explosives, ammunition, and other hazardous cargo across shelled or contaminated terrain.
- Fire & Rescue: Deployed into fire grounds or chemical zones for safe delivery of equipment, or to support personnel in life-threatening situations.
- Civil Protection: Used in natural disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, and floods to deliver supplies or remove debris from dangerous zones.
- Industrial Logistics: In factories or facilities with manpower shortages or hazardous environments, the LUGV can autonomously handle material transport with precision and reliability.
This versatility transforms the LUGV from a niche solution into a multipurpose logistics vehicle, supporting both military and civilian operations.
