EP EXP15 automatic pallet truck
The simplest way to start: walk it round a route once, press a button and it repeats the run on its own. No Wi-Fi, no software and no IT project.

A pallet truck you teach in five minutes
The EXP15 is an EP electric pallet truck with automation built in. You teach it a route by driving it once, mark the start and end points, and it runs that route on its own: it collects the pallet, delivers it and comes back empty. Move the tiller and it is a normal pallet truck again.
It is made for the short A-to-B runs that take up time every shift, such as empties back to the stack or pallets from goods-in to a staging lane. EP says one person can learn the five buttons in about five minutes, and it won the IFOY Award 2025 in the Warehouse Truck category.

What makes the EXP15 work
Taught, not programmed
Drive the route once in teach mode and it remembers it. Nobody writes code or draws a map.
Nothing to install
It runs on its own. There is no Wi-Fi, server or warehouse software to set up, only a reflector at each end of the route.
Still a pallet truck
Move the tiller and it drives by hand, so it is never a machine that can only do one job.
Sees what is in front
A 180° lidar and a fork-tip sensor slow and stop it for people, trucks and anything in its path.
Plug-in battery
A 14 kg lithium-ion battery that charges from an external charger and swaps by hand.
Room to grow
When the first route works, add a second truck, or step up to the XP15 for longer routes and more destinations.

EP EXP15 questions
Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
How long does the EXP15 take to set up?
EP says one person can learn the five-button controls in about five minutes. We install it, teach the first route with your team and show your key users how to change it themselves.
Does the EXP15 need Wi-Fi or warehouse software?
No. It runs stand-alone, with no Wi-Fi, IT system or server. The only things fitted on site are reflectors at the start and end of each route.
What is the difference between the EXP15 and the XP15?
The EXP15 is the entry model for simple A-to-B runs of up to 50 m. The XP15 navigates using points on your ceiling, handles longer routes indoors and out, and takes a keypad for several destinations and call boxes at workstations.
How much does the EXP15 cost?
From €12,000 ex VAT to buy, or from €450 a month on a 12-month hire contract with servicing included. We confirm the price after we have seen the route.
Can I see the EXP15 working?
Yes. It runs in our demo warehouse at the Navan depot. Book a demo and bring one of your own pallets if you want to see it on your load.
