Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks

Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks are electric trucks made to function within narrow aisles. A counterbalanced lift truck can turn in the aisle as typical storage aisles are 3.6 meters wide and this is enough space. Nonetheless, narrow aisles can be around 2.4 meters wide to as little as 1.8 meters. The narrow area requires specific lift truck models that are capable of tight turns, small, and able to put away loads without pivoting. The common types of narrow-aisle trucks are reach trucks, turret trucks and orderpickers.



Narrow-aisle reach trucks

The first types of narrow-aisle lift trucks manufactured for warehouse applications are the reach trucks. These small trucks could turn without difficulty in narrow aisles since their design has eliminated the requirement for a big counterweight. Stability is instead provided by outrigger arms extending in front of the truck. The disadvantage of this particular design is that the outrigger arms can hinder access to the storage rack because the truck cannot get near enough. These trucks really work well inside a warehouse that is well lit, has even, clean floors, enough space for turning and good flow of traffic.



Turret trucks

The design of a turret truck has turning forks on side of the truck. The forks turn 90 degrees and move from side to side. The load could face forward while the operator drives down the aisle. When stopped at the designated storage location, the forks of the truck turn to the storage side and lift the load to their full extension, and then easily deposit the load before resuming their original position. Turret trucks could come with a wire guidance system which keeps the truck on its path in really narrow aisles. In man-down trucks, operators remain at floor level.
