The narrow aisle forklift has been made to function in narrow storage spaces by increasing the ratio between the space and the width of the aisle. Yale produces the single reach NR and double reach NDR models which are utilized for aisle widths between eight and ten feet. The Narrow Aisle trucks manufactured by Yale apply best-in-class ergonomics and provide a Quadra-Flexx Operator Compartment which has various control handle and stance configurations.
NR & NDR Productivity Enhancements
Quadra-Flexx Operator Compartment: There are numerous control handle configurations that meet a variety of operations and the aft stance, a choice of fore or side-stance options also.
AC Motor Technology: The AC motor technology offers fast lifting speeds along with powerful acceleration and deceleration. It has been designed for quick plugging so as to facilitate more responsive directional changes which combine to increase the amount of cargo transported during a shift.
Mast & Reach Assembly: The trunion mounting and tapered roller bearings are part of the mast reach assembly. This increases the mast rigidity and durability; along with the reach assembly carriage that are reinforced for long life as well as the gusseted rear frame weldment.
Power Lowering: Yale provides industry leading lowering speeds and these uploaded speeds greatly improve the overall throughput and production.
Regenerative Lowering: Although regenerative lowering can lessen 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 therefore greatly reduces energy. The steering tiller is adjustable by the operator and the technician could adjust the steer effort in order to reduce operator fatigue. During the start-up process, drive tire centers automatically initiate.
Order Selectors: Order pickers are also called narrow aisle and very narrow aisle trucks. These machines are made for the manual handling of racked loads which are smaller than pallet size. These order selectors raise both the load and the operator to its required height. This height can be more than 30 feet. Like most turret trucks they are generally guided by rail or wire when used in very narrow aisle applications.
