Very narrow aisle trucks

As the name suggests, a very narrow aisle truck is specially designed to operate in narrow aisles. It can spin its forks 180 degrees and move them horizontally, eliminating the need for space to back and turn the vehicle itself.

VNA trucks can reach up to 15 meters and are available with two operator set-ups: man-down and man-up, also called combi trucks. The load can be lifted and lowered while the truck is in motion, resulting in very high throughput.

The use of VNA trucks can reduce aisle width by up to 50%. This makes them a good option if you need to increase the capacity of your warehouse but don't have the space or possibility to expand it.

High-level order pickers share several characteristics with VNA trucks. They might be an option depending on your operation. A reach truck is a good alternative if your aisles are wider than 3 meters and you don't need to lift past 13 meters.
