What Eurofork does

Eurofork S.p.A. is an Italian-headquartered manufacturer of automated warehouse material handling systems, founded in 2000 and operating from Roletto (Turin province) with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, Romania, and a representative office in Shanghai. The company designs and produces pallet shuttle systems (ESMARTSHUTTLE mother-daughter, E4SHUTTLE and E4CUBE 4-way roaming shuttles), a broad range of telescopic forks for stacker cranes including the IoT-enabled E-SMARTFORKS variant, and the EXA PLATFORM warehouse control system (WCS) software with embedded AI for predictive maintenance and digital twin simulation. Its portfolio extends into electric mobility through patented battery swap station technology co-developed with Dianba New Energy Technology, with over 600 stations operating in Chinese cities.

The company's technology stack centers on internationally patented absolute positioning, Datamatrix-based pallet traceability, and mother-daughter shuttle architecture, enabling high-density multi-depth storage at temperatures down to -30°C and load capacities up to 1,500 kg. Eurofork reports over 130,000 installed applications across more than 93 countries, generating a Big Data pipeline that feeds EXA PLATFORM's predictive analytics. The portfolio targets enterprise customers in food and beverage (especially dairy, cold chain, and grocery), 3PL, automotive, pharmaceutical, aerospace and defense, gigafactory/battery manufacturing, and electric mobility.

Commercially, Eurofork operates a 100% indirect go-to-market, selling exclusively through System Integrators worldwide rather than directly to end users. Flagship-tier channel partners include Swisslog (March 2026, exclusive shuttle supplier for AgileStore) and KION Group (October 2024, global distribution), with additional Core-tier integrations through Dematic, ITO PallPack, Dalmine, and Tassinari Group. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (shuttle systems, telescopic forks, battery swap equipment), EXA WCS software licensing, and after-sales professional services including commissioning, training, and 24/7 technical support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per SI-configured project. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external institutional investors identified in available materials.

Core offering

Eurofork designs and manufactures automated material handling systems for warehouses, including mother-daughter and 4-way roaming pallet shuttles (ESMARTSHUTTLE, E4SHUTTLE, E4CUBE), IoT-enabled telescopic forks for stacker cranes, automated battery swap stations, and the EXA WCS software platform with AI-driven predictive maintenance. The company operates as a solution provider exclusively for System Integrators worldwide, supplying hardware and software that SIs integrate into complete automated warehouse solutions.

Product overview

Eurofork is a solution provider for System Integrators specializing in automated material handling systems for warehouses. The product portfolio centers on three main categories: (1) Pallet shuttle systems including ESMARTSHUTTLE (mother-daughter configuration for high-density multi-depth storage), E4SHUTTLE (4-way roaming shuttle with multi-level capability), and E4CUBE (modular ultra-high-density system); (2) Telescopic fork solutions ranging from standard single/double/triple deep variants to specialized configurations (Miniload, E-box Gripper, Automotive, Heavy Loads, Battery, Roll, Tire) plus E-SMARTFORKS with integrated IoT sensors for predictive maintenance; and (3) EXA PLATFORM, the proprietary WCS software with AI capabilities that manages and orchestrates all Eurofork shuttle systems, enabling predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and digital twin simulation. The Battery Swap solution extends the portfolio into electric mobility automation. Eurofork positions itself as a technology solution provider for System Integrators rather than an end-to-end platform vendor, with products designed to integrate into various automated warehouse architectures.
