Kinds of Aisles
Narrow Aisle and Wide Aisle lift trucks are classed due to the types of aisles they have been designed to operate in. These machinery can turn in an aisle, whereas Very Narrow Aisle trucks really don't turn within the aisle. There are some aisle widths to consider with various models.
Very Narrow Aisle trucks can operate in less than 6 feet places, whereas some will use specific guidance systems like wire, optical or rail systems in order to travel in the aisles. Several different models of VNA trucks include Order Selectors, Turret Trucks and Swing Masts. These are common models in compact retail areas and in several warehouse and storage situations.
NA or Narrow Aisle trucks can work within aisles which are 8 feet to 10 feet. Normally these are stand-up models like for instance Reach Trucks. They are often utilized within warehouses and storage facilities.
Wide Aisle Standard forklifts fall into this truck category and are designed to work within aisles that are more than 11 feet wide.
Stand-Up Ergonomics
The stand-up ergonomics include "Ergomat" padding with a sloped floorboard that is designed to reduce operator exhaustion by absorbing vibration. The compartment for the driver is big and has an 8" low step height that helps lessen overall body exhaustion by easing frequent exit and entry. The unit consists of polyurethane steer tires to absorb shocks and vibration caused by uneven floor in order to enable smooth traveling. For added comfort, there is a cushioned armrest and floor mat along with a backrest designed to help keep operators comfortable and hence more productive while limiting exhaustion.
