Kinds of Aisles
Narrow Aisle and Wide Aisle lift trucks are classed due to the kinds of aisles they have been designed to operate in. These machinery can turn in an aisle, whilst Very Narrow Aisle trucks really don't turn in the aisle. There are certain aisle widths to take into account with various models.
Very Narrow Aisle or VNA trucks operate in less than 6 feet places and often utilize particular guidance systems like optical, rail or wire systems in order to travel within the aisles. Several different models of VNA trucks consist of Swing Masts, Order Selectors and Turret Trucks. These are common models in tight retail areas and in some storage and warehouse situations.
NA or Narrow Aisle trucks could work within aisles which are 8 feet to 10 feet. Usually these are stand-up models like for example Reach Trucks. They are commonly used within storage facilities and warehouses.
The wide aisle forklift is designed to work within aisles more than 8 feet to 10 feet.
Stand-Up Ergonomics
The stand-up ergonomics include "Ergomat" padding with a sloped floorboard which is designed to reduce operator exhaustion by absorbing vibration. The compartment for the driver is really spacious and has an 8" low step height which helps reduce overall body fatigue by easing frequent exit and entry. The model includes polyurethane steer tires to absorb vibration and shocks caused by uneven floor in order to enable smooth traveling. For additional comfort, there is a cushioned armrest and floor mat together with a backrest designed to help keep drivers comfortable and thus more productive while limiting exhaustion.
