NARROW AISLE TRUCK NARROW AISLE TRUCK General Features

A narrow aisle truck (also known as a narrow aisle forklift) is a type of forklift designed specifically for working in narrow aisles in warehouses or storage facilities, maximizing the available space for storage. These trucks are often used in environments where aisle width is a limiting factor, allowing for more efficient use of warehouse space.

Types of Narrow Aisle Trucks

1. Reach Trucks

  • Operated by hand and used for low to medium lifting.
  • Load capacity usually ranges from 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg.
  • Lift heights typically range from 1,500 mm to 3,500 mm.
  • Best suited for small, light-duty tasks in warehouses and retail.

2. Turret Trucks

  • These are advanced narrow aisle trucks that can rotate the fork carriage to pick up loads in very tight spaces. They are often used in very narrow aisle (VNA) operations, where aisle widths as small as 1.6 meters (5.25 feet) are common.

3. Order Pickers

  • Used for picking items from racking systems. The operator platform rises along with the forks, allowing the worker to access products directly from the shelves.

4. Stackers

  • Narrow aisle stackers are similar to reach trucks but typically have a lower lifting capacity and are often used for lighter lifting and stacking tasks.

Key Benefits of Narrow Aisle Trucks:

  • Maximizing Warehouse Space: These trucks allow for operations in narrow aisles, increasing storage density in warehouses.
  • Improved Maneuverability: The compact design and tight turning radius of narrow aisle trucks allow for better maneuverability in confined spaces.
  • High Lifting Capability: Many narrow aisle trucks can lift to significant heights, making them ideal for high-density racking systems.
  • Efficient Operations: By enabling the use of narrow aisles, these trucks help optimize warehouse flow and reduce the need for larger aisles that can waste valuable storage space.
  • Versatility: Narrow aisle trucks come in various types, including electric-powered and stand-up models, offering flexibility for different operational needs.

Maximize space, minimize effort.
