Gausium Beetle Pro vs PUDU MT1 Max: warehouse sweeper-vacuum comparison
Spec-informed comparison of the Gausium Beetle Pro Performance and PUDU MT1 Max autonomous warehouse cleaners for Australian logistics and distribution sites.
Both the Gausium Beetle Pro Performance and PUDU MT1 Max target warehouse and logistics environments with dry sweeping and debris handling. They differ in coverage throughput, vacuum capability, debris capacity, and deployment features. This comparison uses published technical parameters to help Australian operators shortlist the right platform for their floor type, debris profile, and nightly coverage targets.
Gausium Beetle Pro Performance
Warehouse-grade autonomous sweeper-vacuum with dry vacuum mode, carpet recognition, spot cleaning, and remote deployment. Dry-only — no wet scrubbing.
Best for
- High-throughput coverage — normal mode up to ~3,240 m²/h
- Sites that need dedicated vacuum mode (~400 mm path) in addition to sweeping
- 45 L debris bin for longer runs between emptying
- Remote deployment without on-site engineer setup
Watch-outs
- Dry-only — no wet scrubbing or mopping
- Heavier platform (~112 kg) — confirm lift access and charging layout
PUDU MT1 Max
PUDU autonomous warehouse sweeper with 3D LiDAR navigation, spot cleaning, and rain sensor. Dry sweeping focused — no dedicated vacuum mode on published specifications.
Best for
- Operators already deploying PUDU service robots or warehouse platforms
- Sites prioritising spot-cleaning peak throughput (up to ~7,000 m²/h in spot mode)
- Lighter unit weight (~85 kg) for certain charging or transport constraints
- Rain sensor for covered-yard or semi-exposed logistics zones
Watch-outs
- No dedicated vacuum cleaning mode on published specifications
- Lower normal-mode coverage (~2,200 m²/h) vs Beetle (~3,240 m²/h)
- Smaller debris bin (35 L vs Beetle 45 L)
Side-by-side comparison
| Dimension | Gausium Beetle Pro Performance | PUDU MT1 Max |
|---|---|---|
| Normal cleaning efficiency | Up to ~3,240 m²/h | Up to ~2,200 m²/h |
| Vacuum mode | Yes (~400 mm path) | No |
| Trash capacity | 45 L | 35 L |
| Net weight | ~112 kg | ~85 kg |
| Navigation | Integrated LiDAR SLAM (3D LiDAR) | VSLAM + marker + 3D LiDAR SLAM |
| Carpet recognition | Yes | Yes |
| Remote deployment | Yes | No |
| Liquid avoidance | Yes | Garbage recognition only |
| Max map area | Up to ~120,000 m² | Up to ~100,000 m² |
The verdict
Beetle Pro Performance suits logistics sites that need higher normal-mode coverage, a dedicated vacuum mode for carpet or fine-dust zones, larger debris capacity, and remote deployment. MT1 Max suits operators already in the PUDU ecosystem or sites where spot-cleaning peak throughput and a lighter chassis are priorities. For wet hard-floor cleaning in the same facility, Gausium also offers Scrubber 50, Scrubber 75, and Omnie. Robotec supplies Beetle in Australia under Purchase, Lease, and RaaS.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Beetle vacuum warehouse carpets?
Yes. Beetle supports dry vacuuming with carpet recognition, including configured vacuum modes for carpeted zones. It remains primarily positioned for warehouse sweeper-vacuum workloads rather than hospitality-grade carpet care.
Does either robot scrub wet floors?
No. Both are dry-only platforms. For wet hard-floor scrubbing in the same warehouse or DC, evaluate Gausium Scrubber 75 or Omnie depending on site size and aisle geometry.
How do spot-cleaning modes compare?
Both support spot cleaning. Published specifications cite higher peak throughput in spot mode for MT1 Max (~7,000 m²/h) versus Beetle (roughly 3–4× normal mode). Day-to-day procurement should still weight normal-mode coverage, debris handling, and vacuum requirements.
