LOAD & UNLOAD TRAILERS IN 5 MINUTES

SlipBots can handle nearly any freight type—pallets, totes, bins, racks, loose items, and even non-stackable or hand-loaded freight. Each SlipBot has a payload capacity of 12,000 lbs, with three SlipBots per trailer for a total truckload capacity of 36,000 lbs. For heavier applications, the SlipHeavy model increases capacity to 20,000 lbs per bot—up to 60,000 lbs per truck. Payload is tracked in real time via an onboard scale, with readouts displayed on the controller and LED indicators on the bot for quick visibility.

SlipBots operate in the same space you already use to stage materials—no additional floor space required. In fact, their ability to rapidly load and unload can help free up valuable dock space by reducing dwell time. Equipped with omnidirectional wheels, SlipBots maneuver easily in tight areas, allowing for flexible placement and smooth operation in nearly any facility layout.

SlipBots are designed for continuous industrial use and can operate without plugging in. Each unit has two swappable lithium-ion batteries that trickle-charge the main internal battery throughout the day. Swapping takes less than 2 minutes and provides up to 10 hours of runtime.

The main battery can power a SlipBot for up to two full days of use and rarely needs direct charging. All SlipBots meet DOT safety standards and use lithium-ion batteries well below hazmat thresholds, so there are no special requirements for transport or handling.

Yes. SlipBots are built with multiple onboard safety systems to navigate busy loading docks with precision. They use sensors, lidar, and vision systems to detect obstacles and people in real time—ensuring safe operation in shared environments. They’re designed to stop automatically if something enters their path and can operate seamlessly alongside your existing equipment and teams.

Most sites are up and running in less than a week. SlipBots require no changes to your docks, trailers, or infrastructure. Our team handles setup, training, and supervised operations—so your staff is confident, your process stays intact, and your operation sees value almost immediately.

Training doesn’t stop after deployment. Slip supports your team from day one and every day after. We provide hands-on training during installation, then continue to support ongoing coaching, process optimization, and team onboarding for as long as you have SlipBots on-site. As your operation evolves, we help ensure your automation continues to deliver maximum value.

Our team monitors every SlipBot in the field and provides proactive support as part of your subscription. With remote diagnostics, on-site service, and regular updates, we keep your system running smoothly—so your team can stay focused on moving freight.

SlipBots are offered through a monthly Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model that most customers treat as an operating expense. There’s no large upfront investment—just a flat monthly fee that covers the robots, support, updates, and ongoing maintenance. After a quick intro call, we’ll provide a tailored ROI analysis and cost estimate based on your operation’s specific needs.

Slip uses a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model—offering SlipBots through a monthly subscription rather than a large upfront capital expense or a basic lease. Unlike traditional leasing, our model includes full support, maintenance, software updates, and hardware upgrades. You get continuous improvements and hands-on service without the burden of ownership.

Absolutely. After your initial call, our team will work with you to build a detailed ROI analysis based on your dock volumes, labor costs, and trailer flow. We help quantify the time and cost savings, making it easy for your team to evaluate the opportunity and justify the investment internally.
