Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks

Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks are electric trucks made to function within narrow aisles. Standard storage aisles are only 3.6 meters wide, enough space for a counterbalanced lift truck to pivot in the aisle. Nonetheless, narrow aisles can be about 2.4 meters wide to as little as 1.8 meters. The narrow space needs specialized types of lift trucks which are capable of tight turns, small, could put away loads without pivoting. The popular types of narrow-aisle trucks are reach trucks, turret trucks and orderpickers.



Narrow-aisle reach trucks

Reach trucks were the very first narrow-aisle lift truck to be developed for warehouse applications. These small trucks could turn with no trouble within narrow aisles as their design has eliminated the requirement for a big counterweight. Instead, stability is provided by outrigger arms extending in front of the truck. The downside of this particular design is that the outrigger arms could hinder access to the storage rack because the truck cannot get close enough. These kinds of trucks work well within a warehouse that is well lit, has even, clean floors, good flow of traffic and ample turning space.



Turret trucks

The turret truck design has pivoting forks on side of the truck. The forks turn 90 degrees and move from side to side. The load faces forward while the operator drives down the aisle. When it stops at the designated storage location, the truck's forks turn to the storage side and lift the load to their full extension, and then smoothly 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 very narrow aisles. In man-down trucks, operators remain at floor level.
