QuiMo WL1600

Summary

The QuiMo WL1600 is a remote-controlled, self-balancing two-wheel electric loader built for material transport on construction and landscaping sites. It handles horizontal transport with fork and bucket attachments, loading to 2,800 mm height; receiving, staging, and last-mile delivery are listed as covered subtasks. The WL1600 debuted as a prototype at bauma 2025 and has one vendor-reported trial deployment; series production is planned for late 2026.

Horizontal Transport Receiving & Staging Last-Mile Delivery

How it works on your site

Horizontal Transport

The WL1600 runs on two wheels with a dynamic balance controller that extends the wheelbase under heavy loads and retracts for compact maneuvering. Fork and bucket attachments swap through a hydraulic quick coupler; the working arm shifts loads horizontally without repositioning the machine. An operator controls the loader via remote, with no driver cabin on the platform.
