Narrow aisle forklifts function by increasing the ratio of the storage space to the width of the aisle. Yale features the double reach NDR and the single reach NR units for aisle widths of eight to ten feet. The Narrow Aisle trucks manufactured by Yale apply best-in-class ergonomics and provide a Quadra-Flexx Operator Compartment which has different control handle and stance configurations.
NR & NDR Productivity Enhancements
Quadra-Flexx Operator Compartment: To meet a wider variety of operations, there are many control handle configurations like the choice of fore, the aft stance, and the side-stance options.
AC Motor Technology: This technology offers strong acceleration and deceleration as well as fast lifting speeds. It has been manufactured for quick plugging in order to facilitate more responsive directional changes which combine to increase the amount of cargo transported in a shift.
Mast & Reach Assembly: The tapered roller and trunion mounting bearings are part of the mast reach assembly. This increases the rigidity and durability of the mast; along with the reach assembly carriage that are reinforced for long life and the gusseted rear frame weldment.
Power Lowering: Yale offers industry leading lowering speeds and these uploaded speeds really improve the overall throughput and production.
Regenerative Lowering: Though regenerative lowering can reduce battery changes per shift it also functions to maintain a lower oil operating temperature.
Electronic Steering: The electronic steering eliminates the need for hydraulic pumps and thus greatly reduces energy. The operator could adjust the steering tiller and the steer effort is actually technician adjustable so as to lessen operator fatigue. During the start-up process, drive tire centers automatically start.
Order Selectors: The narrow aisle trucks and the very narrow aisle trucks are also called order pickers. These machinery are made for the manual handling of racked loads which are smaller than pallet size. These order selectors lift both the load and the operator to its required height. This height could be in excess of 30 feet. Like most turret trucks they are generally rail or wire guided when used in very narrow aisle applications.
