Yale Gas Forklifts Arlington

Narrow Aisle and very Narrow Aisle Trucks: Some forklifts have NA features or VNA features. In order to function safely and efficiently, the majority of counterbalanced trucks require a minimum of 11 feet of aisle width. Na or Narrow Aisle trucks on the other hand, could operate in narrow aisles that measure 8 to 10 feet wide. Moreover, VNA or very narrow aisle trucks can function in aisles as narrow as 6 feet wide.



NA and VNA trucks provide many benefits since they make it possible for warehouses to be built with narrower aisles. This results in the warehouse being able to successfully store many more things within a particular area, improving cube utilization. The loads transported by Narrow Aisle and Very narrow Aisle trucks normally are limited to about 3000 and 5000 pounds. Reach trucks are capable of operating in narrow aisle. Rotating mast trucks, order selectors and turret trucks are able to operate within very narrow or narrow aisles, depending on the specific unit.



Reach Trucks: Specially made for retrieval and storage, reach trucks are made with telescoping forks and outriggers that allows the operator to lift and retract a load over the outriggers. These units are not the best suited for moving loads quickly over long distances nor for unloading or loading trucks. Like the order selector, reach trucks can be available for lifting heights that are greater than 30 feet.



Turret Trucks and Rotating-Mast Trucks: Rotating-mast trucks are like regular sit-down forklifts. The main difference is that their masts are able to rotate in one direction, to a 90 degree angle. This particular feature enables them to function in a narrow aisle situation. Turret trucks could operate in very narrow or narrow aisle locations. Similar to order selectors, these machinery are capable of elevating both the operator and the load. In addition, they could allow the operator to deal with loads on either side of an aisle without exiting and re-entering the aisle.



Turret trucks are normally rail or wire guided when they are used in very narrow aisles. Thus, the operator doesn't need to focus any energy on their driving skills and could focus on the work load at hand. As turret trucks are considered "operator-up" trucks, they could be used for picking items and cases in addition to full pallet handling.
