Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks

The type of electric truck that is designed to function in narrow aisles is known as a Narrow Aisle Lift Truck. Typical storage aisles are 3.6 meters wide, sufficient space for a counterbalanced lift truck to pivot in the aisle. Nevertheless, narrow aisles can be 2.4 meters wide to as little as 1.8 meters. The narrow area needs specific kinds of lift trucks which are capable of tight turns, small, could put away loads without turning. The popular types of narrow-aisle trucks are order pickers, reach trucks and turret trucks.



Narrow-aisle reach trucks

The first kinds of narrow-aisle lift trucks manufactured for warehouse applications are the reach trucks. These small trucks could easily turn in narrow aisles because their design has eliminated the need for a large counterweight. Instead, stability is provided by outrigger arms which extend in front of the truck. The downside of this particular design is that the outrigger arms could hinder access to the storage rack as the truck cannot get near enough. These trucks really work well in a warehouse that is well lit, has even, clean floors, ample space for turning and good traffic flow.



Turret trucks

The design of a turret truck has pivoting forks on side of the truck. The forks pivot 90 degrees and move from side to side. The load can face forward while the operator drives down the aisle. When stopped at the designated storage place, the truck's forks turn to the storage side and lift the load to their full extension, and next easily deposit the load before resuming their original position. Turret trucks can come with a wire guidance system that keeps the truck on its path in really narrow aisles. Operators remain at floor level in man-down trucks.
