Intermec IA33D 805-816-001 Dépliant

With its unique, mostly metal design, 

the Intermec Antenna Cell is an RFID 

antenna specifically developed for forklift 

installations where shock and vibration 

can far exceed the specifications of 

antennas designed for fixed RFID reader 

applications. Complete with mounting 

hardware, Antenna Cells can be mounted 

with no drilling, cutting or welding 

which enables fast and inexpensive 

installations for a single forklift or fleet 

deployments. Antenna Cells are available 

in both FCC and ETSI frequencies.  

Antenna Cells leverage another new 

product, the Adaptable Load Backrest 

(ALBR), developed in partnership with 

Cascade Corporation, the world’s leader in 

the design and manufacture of lift truck 

attachments. The Antenna Cells can be 

mounted into an ALBR in about a half 

hour, as opposed to spending a day of field 

engineering time, and approximately $2500 

in expense, to install RFID equipment 

onto a forklift the “old fashioned” way. 

The ALBR neatly and precisely 

compartmentalizes the Antenna Cells 

and RFID reader into areas of the 

load backrest that don’t obstruct the 

operator’s vision and are protected from 

damage. In addition, the ALBR provides 

built-in Antenna Cell cable routing for 

protection for vulnerable cables and 

a professional looking installation.

Antenna Cells mounted into ALBRs 

are flexible and configurable for quick 

and inexpensive reconfigurations to 

support changing application needs 

such as converting from pallet tag 

reading to case level reading. This 

modular approach enables Antenna 

Cells to be interchangeable for quick 

replacement of damaged parts lessening 

slow downs in a busy operation.

The ALBR and Antenna Cells not only 

improve operator performance and safety, 

they also significantly reduce the time 

and cost of RFID forklift deployments. 

With the ALBR and Antenna Cells, 

the installation of an RFID reader and 

antennas no longer needs to involve 

labor-intensive customization of the load 

backrest or fork truck. Durable, reliable 

installations of these products should 

last the life of a typical forklift lease.

Antenna Cells are sold by Intermec 

Technologies and its distributors and 

partners. ALBRs are manufactured and 

sold by Cascade Corporation. They are built

to order for specific forklift models.
