Key facts
- Current AFL tear sheet (March 2026 PDF, fetched 2026-10-17): 60 in max lift, 3,000 lb / 1,361 kg, 123.2 x 43.4 x 96 in (3,129 x 1,102 x 2,438 mm), weight 4,700 lb / 2,132 kg less battery, 6.7 mph / 3.0 m/s, 8+ h run time (an upper figure, so battery_hours is null), 1-2 h charge, lead acid, lithium ion or TPPL batteries.
- Naming: Vecna's current website and tear sheets (fetched 2026-10-17) call the product only 'AFL'. Earlier trade coverage used the name 'Silverback', but no fetched source with a URL confirms it, so the catalog uses the official name and does not state a launch year (year_available and year_announced are null).
- Weight 2,132 kg (4,700 lb) is stated by Vecna 'less battery' (without the battery). No sensor hardware list is published on the sheets, so sensors is empty.
- Still sold: listed on Vecna's homepage and product page as Vecna AFL (fetched 2026-10-17).
- The 2021 sheet gave length 131.4 in and 4 h charge time; the 2026 sheet gives 123.2 in and 1-2 h charge. Catalog follows the 2026 sheet.

- The 2021 tear sheet (file name mentions 'Silverback 72 in') is headed 'AFL Autonomous Forklift' and lists a 60 in lift; the catalog uses 60 in as in the current official sources.
