Aisle Types
Lift trucks are classified due to the kinds of aisles they have been designed to operate in. Wide Aisle and Narrow Aisle lift trucks are designed to turn in the aisle, while Very Narrow Aisle trucks really don't turn within the aisle. There are certain aisle widths to consider with various models.

Very Narrow Aisle trucks could work in less than 6 feet areas, while several would utilize certain guidance systems like rail, wire or optical systems in order to travel in the aisles. Several different models of VNA trucks comprise Swing Masts, Order Selectors and Turret Trucks. These are popular kinds in compact retail spaces and in several storage and warehouse situations.

Narrow Aisle trucks could operate in aisles from 8 feet to 10 feet wide. Generally these are stand-up units like Reach Trucks. They are usually utilized in storage facilities and warehouses.

The wide aisle forklift is designed to work in aisles more than 8 feet to 10 feet.

Stand-Up Ergonomics
The "Ergomat" padding on stand-up units offer padding on a sloped floorboard. These features are made to lessen operator exhaustion by absorbing vibration. The operator compartment is very spacious and has an 8" low step height which helps reduce overall body exhaustion by easing frequent entry and exit. The model includes polyurethane steer tires to absorb shocks and vibration caused by uneven floor in order to enable smooth traveling. For additional comfort, there is a floor mat and a cushioned armrest as well as a backrest designed to help keep operators comfortable and hence more effective while limiting exhaustion.
