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