Oneway Robotics (Changsha)
长沙万为机器人有限公司
Oneway Robotics in Changsha builds laser-SLAM autonomous forklifts (omnidirectional counterbalance, stacker and explosion-protected models) and factory AMRs with lifting or roller decks. Match the vehicle family to the load handoff first, then compare the published load, lift and accuracy figures.
01 / Company
What this company supplies
A mobile-robot maker with an industrial logistics line
Oneway Robotics was founded by former members of a National University of Defense Technology robotics group. Its largest product line is security and inspection robots; the same chassis control, low-speed autonomous driving and image-processing work underpins its autonomous forklifts and factory AMRs. For an industrial project, ask which team handles factory logistics commissioning and spare parts. [S1]
Company and location
The registered company is 长沙万为机器人有限公司, trading in English as Oneway Robotics Co., Ltd., with its site in the Changsha High-tech Zone. The company lists high-tech enterprise status, ISO 9001 and CE marking among its qualifications. [S1]
02 / Products
A range with distinct purchasing tasks
Counterbalance and stacker forklifts
The omnidirectional counterbalance forklift uses a four-wheel-drive, four-wheel-steer chassis that can move sideways, diagonally and rotate on the spot. Its published WQ-600 column gives 600 kg rated load, 1,070 mm lift and 1.2 m/s loaded speed. The separate stacker family is built for rack storage, with a published 2,000 kg rating, 4,500 mm standard lift and a 1,720 mm minimum turning radius in the displayed column. [S2] [S3]
Explosion-protected forklifts
The explosion-protected page pairs a pallet-mover (WB-15F) and a stacker (WD-15F) in one table, so several cells hold two values. It prints the marking as “Ex ib mb sb tb IGT135°C Db”; the Db equipment protection level and the T135°C surface temperature point to a dust-atmosphere marking, and the group text appears garbled on the page. A buyer handling flammable gases or vapours must confirm the gas-group marking, certificate number and issuing body for the exact truck before any hazardous-area use. [S4]
Lifting and roller-conveyor AMRs
The lifting AMR table lists a 1,330 × 952 × 290 mm chassis with 500 or 1,000 kg payload, 60 mm lift stroke and ±5 mm navigation position accuracy, and the page cites CE marking against ISO 3691-4:2020. The roller-conveyor AMR is a differential-drive vehicle with a 1,380 × 320 mm roller deck docking at 500 ±3 mm, intended for line-side transfers between fixed conveyors. [S5] [S6]
Published in this directory
Start the technical discussion from the product families below, and ask for the data sheet of the exact model you want to compare.
Published figures differ by vehicle family [S2] [S3] [S4] [S5] [S6]
| Item | Published statement | Detail to keep with it |
|---|---|---|
| Omnidirectional counterbalance (WQ-600 column) | 600 kg; 1,070 mm lift; ±10 mm navigation | Check the WQ-2000 column separately; load centre and mast tilt apply. |
| Stacker forklift (displayed column) | 2,000 kg; 4,500 mm lift; 1,720 mm turning radius | Confirm which tab the figures belong to before quoting. |
| Explosion-protected pallet mover / stacker | 1,500–3,000 kg; dust-type Ex marking as printed | Obtain certificate, gas/dust group and zone for each truck. |
| Lifting AMR (WDS-500/1000) | 500 or 1,000 kg; 60 mm lift; ±5 mm | Verify rack-leg clearance and floor flatness for 30 mm ground clearance. |
| Roller-conveyor AMR | Roller deck at 500 ±3 mm docking height | Align the conveyor height and interlock signals at both ends. |
The counterbalance and stacker pages each carry two model tabs, and the figures above come from the tab shown by default. Ask Oneway for the data sheet of the exact model you plan to order.
03 / Technical scope
Turning a catalog vehicle into a working material flow
Pick the chassis by the pallet face
Counterbalance, pallet-mover and stacker trucks approach a load differently. The tables list accepted pallet types (川-type and 田-type bottoms appear on the forklift pages) and fork dimensions. Measure your real pallets, including damaged ones, before choosing a family; omnidirectional travel helps in a trailer or narrow aisle but does not change the load-centre limits of a counterbalance design. [S2] [S3] [S4]
Fix navigation and accuracy at the handoff
Most pages state laser-SLAM navigation; the stacker page also lists QR-code, reflector and natural-feature options. Accuracy figures are ±10 mm for the forklifts and ±5 mm for the lifting AMR. Ask how those figures were measured and what accuracy is achieved at your rack beam, conveyor end or trailer edge, since pickup success depends on the whole sequence rather than the navigation figure alone. [S3] [S5]
Plan batteries and charging by shift
Published runtime ranges from about 4–6 hours for one explosion-protected configuration to 7–8 hours for the lifting AMR, with 10–80% charge times of two hours or less on several pages. Map these against your shift pattern and the number of charge points; automatic charging is listed as standard on the AMR pages and as manual or automatic on the forklift pages. [S4] [S5] [S6]
Connect to dispatch and site systems
The forklift pages describe connection to the company’s own forklift dispatch software for multi-vehicle work, and the stacker page mentions WMS/ERP integration. Ask for the interface document, who owns the integration and how a manual override or a vehicle removed for service is handled in the fleet schedule. [S2] [S3]
04 / Quality
Certifications and quality
Explosion-protected trucks
The explosion-protected pair is marked “Ex ib mb sb tb IGT135°C Db” on the page. The Db protection level and T135°C surface temperature belong to dust atmospheres. For a hazardous area, ask for the certificate and schedule for the exact truck and charger, and check the nameplate marking on delivery. [S4]
Before ordering, ask the company to send the certificates and test reports that apply to your configuration. How these profiles are compiled.
05 / Project fit
Where to start the technical discussion
Typical projects matched to the supply scope above, with the first questions to settle for each.
Loading and unloading inside trailers
The counterbalance page names in-trailer loading as its main use. Survey trailer floor condition, dock plate angle and lighting, and test with the heaviest pallet you ship. Omnidirectional travel is relevant here, but rated load at full lift is the limit to check. [S2]
Rack storage up to several metres
For rack work, compare the stacker’s published lift height with your top beam, then check whether high-rack pallet recognition is fitted, since the page lists it as optional. [S3]
Conveyor-to-conveyor transfers on a line
The roller AMR suits fixed transfers where both ends have powered rollers at matching height. Plan the handshake signals, load presence detection and what happens if a transfer stops halfway. [S6]
Turn the supply scope into a project handover
The documents and checks to agree with this company at each stage of delivery.

06 / Next step
A clearer brief starts with these details
- Pallet or carrier drawings, loaded mass, load centre and the worst pallet you expect.
- Highest pick and place level, aisle widths, slopes, floor joints, dock or trailer details.
- Hazardous-area class, if any, with the gas or dust group and temperature class you need.
- Shift pattern, charging windows, fleet size and the dispatch or WMS interface.
- Ask Oneway to confirm in writing: the data sheet for the exact model tab, the Ex certificate for explosion-protected trucks, and which company supplies and services the vehicles in your country.
The carry button temporarily keeps the edited questions in this browser tab for up to two minutes, then consumes them in the matching form. Nothing is sent until you submit.

Common buyer questions
What does Oneway build for factories?
Laser-SLAM forklifts (omnidirectional counterbalance, stacker, explosion-protected) and AMRs with lifting or roller decks, plus fleet dispatch software.
Can the explosion-protected forklift work in a gas zone?
Its printed marking is a dust-type marking. For a gas zone, ask Oneway for a certificate that names the gas group and zone.
How accurate is the navigation?
Oneway gives ±10 mm for the forklifts and ±5 mm for the lifting AMR. Write the accuracy you need at your racks or conveyors into the acceptance test.
Which certificates does Oneway list?
CE to ISO 3691-4:2020, EMC, UN38.3, machinery and radio directives on the AMR page; ISO 9001 on the company page.
