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