Narrow aisle lift trucks work by increasing the ratio of the storage space to the width of the aisle. Yale spotlights the single reach NR and the double reach NDR models for aisle widths of eight to ten feet. The Narrow Aisle trucks made by Yale provide a Quadra-Flexx Operator Compartment which has various stance and control handle configurations and apply best-in-class ergonomics.
NDR & NR Productivity Enhancements
Quadra-Flexx Operator Compartment: There are numerous control handle configurations which meet a range of operations as well as the aft stance, a choice of fore or side-stance options as well.
AC Motor Technology: This technology offers strong acceleration and deceleration as well as fast lifting speeds. It has been manufactured for quick plugging so as to facilitate more responsive directional changes which combine to increase the amount of loads moved in a shift.
Reach & Mast Assembly: The mast reach assembly comprise trunion mounting and tapered roller bearings. This increases the mast rigidity and durability; along with the gusseted rear frame weldment, as well as the reach assembly carriage that are reinforced for long life.
Power Lowering: Yale offers industry leading lowering speeds and these uploaded speeds greatly improve the overall throughput and productivity.
Regenerative Lowering: While regenerative lowering could 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 steering tiller is adjustable by the operator and the steer effort is actually technician adjustable so as to decrease operator fatigue. In the start-up process, drive tire centers start automatically.
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 that are smaller than pallet size. These order selectors lift both the operator and the load to its required height. This height could be over 30 feet. Like most turret trucks they are generally guided by wire or rail when utilized in very narrow aisle applications.
