Cavalla builds the Cavalier, an on-site autonomous retrofitting kit that converts existing forklifts into autonomous material-handling vehicles carrying up to 3,300 lbs per cycle with an 8-hour battery life. The autonomy stack handles navigation, obstacle avoidance, and load management in warehouse environments without permanent infrastructure changes. The system is offered as a subscription service for electric forklifts, available to California customers.
