Narrow aisle truck solutions

In warehouses where every square foot counts, a narrow aisle truck (VNA truck - Very Narrow Aisle) the perfect solution. This specialized forklift is designed to work in extremely narrow aisles - up to only 1.60 meters wide - while providing fast, safe and efficient access to high racking.

With a narrow aisle truck, you maximize your storage capacity without having to expand or remodel. Ideal for logistics centers, e-commerce warehouses and high throughput businesses.

What is a narrow-aisle truck?

A narrow-aisle truck is an advanced lift truck that operates in narrow warehouse aisles and can pick up or put away pallets to great heights. These trucks often operate on rails or with inductive guidance, and have a pivoting fork unit or telescopic forks that allow them to lift and position without turning themselves.

There are two main types:

  • Man-up trucks (order picking at height)

  • Man-down trucks (automatic pallet handling)

Advantages of a narrow-aisle truck

  • Highly accurate positioning of pallets
  • Ideal for high throughput in warehouse management
