Burro

American autonomous collaborative carrier — follows pickers or runs fixed A-to-B routes hauling harvest totes and materials; 550+ robots sold and ~300,000 autonomous hours across the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Israel and Latin America.

At a glance

Best for

Labour-squeezed berry, table-grape and nursery operations that lose picker time to walking full trays back to the collection point.

Avoid if

You need heavy tillage or PTO work — Burro carries and tows, it does not power implements.

Not suitable for

Continental-EU buyers wanting local sales and service — no established EU dealer network was verifiable as of July 2026; broadacre arable work.

Grande

Burro (Augean Robotics, Inc.) · United States

Larger "pallet-scale" sibling of the base Burro cart — carries up to 680 kg (1,500 lb) and tows up to roughly 2,270 kg (5,000 lb) on flat terrain, versus the base Burro's ~227 kg (500 lb) capacity, aimed at nursery and orchard/vineyard operations moving pallets or loaded trailers through rows and corridors without a driver. Distinct from Burro's newer, higher-power "Grande 44" (44 hp, pre-order, deliveries H2 2026), which supersedes Grande at the top of the range.
