Feeder trucks and pick-up/drop-off stations at the ends of aisles are no longer necessary, thanks to our man-down VNA trucks, which handle both transportation and the stacking or retrieval of goods. This reduces the need for a large fleet and multiple drivers, saving time and maximising storage capacity. With wire or rail guidance, operators can travel quickly and safely within aisles barely wider than the truck itself, lifting and lowering loads on the move. A swivelling reach fork allows pallet handling on either side of the aisle.

Operators benefit from precise control through Palm Steering and a multifunction joystick. Adjustable armrests and floor height ensure a tailored fit, while the weight-sensitive seat offers a comfortable, ergonomic driving position and tilts to ease strain when looking up at high loads. Performance is boosted by top-tier drive and hydraulic systems, along with excellent visibility and operator comfort. Optional features include a laser positioning light system and a fork-mounted camera with an RLED display.

LOWER COST OF OWNERSHIP

• Robust construction minimises damage and wear, even in demanding multi-shift operations.
• Heavy-duty drive wheel is highly durable and easy to maintain, with a larger diameter, extra width, and unique tread design that increase grip, stability, and lifespan.
• User-friendly display encourages correct use of the truck.
• PIN code identification and programmability prevent unauthorised use and allow matching of truck performance settings to driver experience and application.
• Auto log-off option avoids wasting power when the truck is idle.
• Fast service access to systems and components reduces downtime.

UNMATCHED PRODUCTIVITY

• Compact dimensions and reach truck-level mobility enable fast manoeuvring outside the aisles, allowing rapid transport of goods to and from VNA racking without the need for feeder trucks or P&D stations.
• Swivel fork assembly rotates 180°, enabling pallet stacking and retrieval on either side of the aisle without turning the truck.
• Wire guidance option: Allows fast performance in very narrow aisles, including safe lifting while driving, without the obstruction, debris accumulation, or high installation costs of guide rails.
• Rail guidance option: Enables fast performance in even narrower aisles, including safe lifting while driving, without the power supply dependency or electronic sensor costs of wire guidance.
• 360-degree steering option enables fluid turning without stopping to change direction.
• Market-leading travel speed (14 km/h) and optimised hydraulic attachment speed come as standard.
• Fully integrated Li-ion technology supports continuous operation without battery changes, using fast opportunity charging during short breaks. (Li-ion and lead-acid versions available.)

SAFETY AND ERGONOMICS

• Palm Steering on adjustable floating armrest offers a relaxed driving position with minimal movement, effort, or strain – ideal for long shifts.
• Multifunctional joystick with adjustable armrest fits the hand perfectly, positions all hydraulic controls optimally, minimises effort, and enables precise individual and simultaneous actions.
• Optional fingertip hydraulic controls with adjustable armrest ensure ergonomically perfect hand positioning, anatomical support, and free movement.
• Position light option: Aligns red laser beam with rack markings for quick and accurate fork positioning.
• End-of-aisle braking system option: Prevents full-speed exit into transfer aisles, enhancing safety.
• Automatic drive speed control: Slows the truck if forks are raised above 500 mm outside the guided aisle, improving stability during load transport.
• Electrically adjustable floor height, armrests, and seat ensure a perfect fit for each driver.
• Tilting seat (up to 18°) reduces strain when viewing and handling loads at height and adjusts to driver weight.
• Tapered seat backrest allows easier body rotation with less strain.
• Spacious driver’s compartment with high roof accommodates users of all sizes safely and comfortably.
• Excellent all-round visibility thanks to mast, overhead bars, pillars, and chassis design.
• Mast-mounted mirrors provide full visibility of fork tips at low levels.
• Transparent overhead guard roof option offers an unobstructed view of forks and load at height while protecting the driver from falling objects.
• Intuitive display is clearly visible and keeps drivers fully informed.
• Direction control via accelerator pedal frees the right hand for hydraulic functions.
• Automotive-style pedal layout is intuitive for car drivers; ‘dead man’ safety switch activates effortlessly under the left foot.
• Smooth entry and exit supported by ergonomic grab handles and a low, non-slip intermediate step.
• Optional blue or red point safety lights alert pedestrians and other drivers of the truck’s approach.
