A new standard for intralogistics, on full display.
What a week. What a show.
LogiMAT 2026 will stay with us for a long time – not just because it was our biggest trade show ever, but because of the energy, the conversations, and the shared sense that something in our industry is shifting.
This year, JEAKUE showed up bigger than ever. Two floors. Over 200 square meters. But more importantly, we showed up with purpose.
From the moment the doors opened, our booth was alive. Familiar faces returned, new ones joined, and our dealer community showed up in full force. Alongside them, we welcomed a growing number of end users and key accounts – people not just curious about automation, but ready to act on it and start now.
And yes, many of the well-known names in the industry stopped by. Not just to look, but to engage with our team, to ask questions, and to recognize what JK has become: a company that is shaping where intralogistics is heading.
A space built to experience, not just to see
At the heart of it all was our Automation Arena, elevated – literally – by the 2-story viewing platform. From above and below, visitors could take in the full picture: machines moving, systems interacting, ideas coming to life.
While automation took center stage, it was always part of a bigger picture. Every solution on display was supported by a full ecosystem of warehouse equipment – from entry-level electric pallet trucks to advanced reach and counterbalance forklifts. This combination is what defines EP’s approach: giving customers the flexibility to start simple, operate efficiently, and scale toward automation without replacing the foundation they already rely on.
It all started with hands-on simplicity. In the EXP smart pallet truck area, the EXP15 and EXP20 ran continuously throughout all three days. The EXP smart pallet truck series showed just how accessible automation can be. DIY routes, simple setup, real impact from day one. Right next to it, the EXP20 demonstrated what happens when you scale that idea: longer distances, cross-docking capability, and a seamless hybrid approach.
The most common reaction?
“We didn’t realize automation could be this easy.”
Rethinking stacking with XQE & XNA trucks
Then came the XQE122 dense stacking area, and it quickly became one of the busiest parts of the booth.
Here, the XQE pantograph reach stacking AGV worked continuously, performing block stacking across a variety of load types including not only pallets, but also crates, boxes, even tire cages. For many visitors in production logistics this was a moment of realization that space can be saved in a cost-effective way. Space is one of the most valuable assets in any warehouse. And seeing how easily it can be reclaimed by stacking anywhere, at any time – sparked countless conversations.
The JK globally patented autonomous XNA101 truck didn’t just attract attention – it created moments. With its dual-fork system enabling dual picking and true pallet-to-person movement, visitors could see up close how intuitive automation can feel.
You didn’t need a long explanation. One look was enough.
Where automation meets imagination
At the center of the arena stood a true crowd magnet: DASP (Digital Autonomous System for Parts), brought to life together with our kangaroo humanoid robot.
With its working arms picking small parts, the system told a simple but powerful story: goods-to-person picking, made easy. No complexity. No long implementation cycles. No barriers.
Just fast-moving small parts reduced human error, and a system that can be up and running in days and not months. That combination of simplicity, speed, and affordability was able to stop people in their tracks over the course of the show.
The future of electric all-purpose trucks
Beyond automation, one thing was clear: the JK PRO Series is here to stay.
Our PRO Series 3.0 and 3.5-ton forklifts became a constant point of interest. Whether inside the booth or outside in the courtyard between halls 9 and 10, visitors climbed into the cabin, explored the new vertical display, and stayed longer than expected.
Because comfort, visibility, and intuitive design aren’t extras – they’re essential.
But the PRO Series is more than a new product line – it reflects how JK is redefining performance across the entire warehouse equipment spectrum. From pallet trucks and stackers to reach trucks and counterbalance forklifts, the range is built for intensive, real-world applications where durability, uptime, and operator experience matter every day.
A bold statement in high voltage
This year also marked a defining moment for our high-voltage technology.
At the West Entrance, our new 12-ton electric truck welcomed visitors as they arrived—impossible to miss, impossible to ignore. At the East Entrance, 5-ton and 7-ton models extended that presence, creating a full-circle impression around the Stuttgart trade fair.
Behind that presence is a deeper shift in how heavy material handling is approached. High-voltage lithium technology is not just about electrification – it’s about unlocking performance that was once only expected from internal combustion trucks. Faster charging, lower energy loss, and consistent power delivery allow these machines to operate in demanding environments without compromise.
For many visitors, this wasn’t just an interesting development — it was a clear signal that the transition to fully electric fleets in heavy-duty applications is no longer a future ambition, but a practical next step.
More than a show
LogiMAT 2026 wasn’t just about machines. It was about people.
It was about conversations that started with curiosity and ended with real plans.
It was about partners reconnecting and new relationships beginning.
It was about seeing belief turn into momentum.
And above all, it was about the people behind JK. To everyone involved- from engineering to logistics, from marketing to sales, and especially the team on-site—you made this happen. The passion, the effort, the attention to detail… it showed in every corner of the booth.
The team is backbone of this company.
Thank you
