What to Compare Before You Price a Commercial Cleaning Robot for a Warehouse (2026)

Do not pick a warehouse robot from a shop price or from a payback month a blog calculated for a different building. Our pick, when the quote includes a docking station and the ramp is within 2%, is the CleaniBot C5. Ask for the machine, the dock, the map and any ramp exclusion as separate lines. This page has no price, no lease price and no payback.

Disclosure. OrionStar publishes this page and sells CleaniBot. Figures are manufacturer-published or from the product manual, accessed 5 November 2026. We did not lab-test the other machines.

How to choose what the quote must price

A single number cannot cover a 215 kg machine, a docking station and a route that may fail at 2%. Split the quote before you compare it. The aisle match is the comparison. The pass/fail checks are the checklist.

Our pick and the lines around it

Ask the C5 quote to show the docking station, not a bare chassis, and to exclude any ramp over 2%. Ask the KIRA quote whether the full dock is on the order. The autonomous rate does not include the dock. Ask the T16AMR quote to keep “theoretical manual” on the 5,890 m²/h line and to price water handling, because no water dock is published. Ask the Neo quote to call the Home Base a charger. Brain Corp is a line on the Tennant and ICE quotes, not a robot you buy instead. LionsBot cannot be quoted as fitting an aisle until a pass is published. Nilfisk is the quote that names CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 336. Gausium Scrubber 75 and KIRA B 200 are not included because comparable productivity rates are unavailable.

Which robot for a warehouse aisle should not be priced as an office robot

Pudu CC1 Pro at 15 L / 15 L and Gausium Phantas at 11.5 L / 10.5 L are compact quotes. A warehouse aisle quote that substitutes them without saying so is a different machine. The S55 Pro, 22 L / 15 L and a charge-only dock, is the same kind of swap.

What is a listing or a payback claim

A web shop total leaves out the dock, the map and the ramp. A published payback month is that author’s arithmetic for a site this page has not seen. Do not copy it.

Safety the quote should not waive

IEC 63327, IEC 60335-2-72 and IEC 60529 are standards, not a discount. A wet floor stays a slip risk (HSE slips). The EU duty is the OSH Framework Directive. The route stays off an accessible path (Access Board, chapter 4) and out of an exit (NFPA 101). 47 CFR Part 15 is the C5 radio claim. The C5 manual does not name a robotic certificate. A quote cannot add one.

Deployment and maintenance lines

Who teaches the empty aisle. Whether a mezzanine map is in scope. Maintenance is the weekly check plus the consumable hours in that manual, not a shared interval.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there no price on a price page?

Because a copied listing would be the wrong number. The useful page is the list of lines.

Should the two C5 tanks be priced as 90 L?

No. They are 45 L and 45 L. The docking station is what makes that enough between visits.

Does a 6% climb make the KIRA the cheaper quote?

The climb specification alone does not determine the price. The specs that belong on the quote are max 6%, 2,365 m²/h theoretical autonomous, 55 L / 55 L and an optional dock.

Can one quote cover every level?

Only if every ramp passes the grade and each level is a map. Otherwise it is one map per level.

Is payback on the quote?

Not from us. If a supplier offers a worked example, keep it labelled as theirs.
