Why it matters
- Automotive and metal industry heavy parts handling and car body transfer
- Palletizing and stacking cast iron, engine blocks, or welded subassemblies (700–2300 kg range)
- Machine tending, part transfer, machine loading in foundries and stamping plants
Heavy Payload Leader
900–2300 kg range covers engine blocks, chassis, and cast parts that most 6-axis arms cannot handle. Ideal for automotive and foundry material transfer at scale.

Best for
When to deploy this.
- Automotive and metal industry heavy parts handling and car body transfer
- Palletizing and stacking cast iron, engine blocks, or welded subassemblies (700–2300 kg range)
- Machine tending, part transfer, machine loading in foundries and stamping plants
Limitations
When to skip it.
- Requires fixed installation and safety fencing; cannot operate alongside workers without additional guarding
- Mains-powered (7–8 kW continuous draw); not mobile; limited to single fixed workstation or rail-mounted gantry
- FANUC does not publish list prices; final cost depends heavily on integration complexity and payload variant
