Narrow Aisle Forklifts and Other Warehouse Space Saving Solutions
More and more North American facilities are finding their costs, output, and SKUs are rising, and therefore need to maximize the space they have.

If you, like many others, find yourself needing to optimize your existing storage capacity, you’ll need specialized material handling equipment designed for warehouses with smaller spaces.

Fortunately, there are many material handling solutions designed to optimize productivity and maneuverability to make the most of your warehouse space, no matter how limited it is.

From VNA forklifts and reach trucks to a variety of other options, here’s an overview of some of the most effective and popular forklifts and other products on the market for optimizing your storage space.

AISLE-MASTER Narrow Aisle (VNA) Articulated Forklifts
Designed for aisles as narrow as 66 inches and with a lift height of up to 49 feet, the Aisle-Master Ultra Narrow Aisle (VNA) forklift can easily do the work of reach trucks and counterbalance forklifts. This speeds up operations, reduces fleet size and costs, and offers a host of other benefits, including:

50% More Storage Space: The ability to operate in narrow aisles while also increasing warehouse storage space by up to 50% are two key benefits of VNA forklifts.

Enhanced Operator Ergonomics: The articulated mast of the VNA forklift provides clear left and right visibility, eliminating the need for operators to twist their bodies to see around the mast while operating. Operator fatigue is also reduced since there is no need to stand the entire time when using a VNA forklift. Aisle-Master Narrow Aisle Forklift
Indoor and Outdoor Use: Aisle-Master’s large, super-elastic tires and hydrostatic drive capabilities make loading and unloading easy. As a result, operators can enjoy a smooth ride regardless of the terrain. At the same time, nearly all types of ramps and grades are easy to master.
Low Maintenance Costs: The Aisle-Master VNA articulated forklift’s LPG-powered hydrostatic drive system eliminates many of the most common maintenance issues associated with batteries, electric motors, and proprietary control boards. This, in turn, reduces overall maintenance costs and, as a result, reduces additional worries.
Increased Safety and Comfort: Aisle-Master forklifts are built to standards that fully comply with the most stringent U.S. regulations. This means that all fundamental aspects of their design, from overhead guards to ergonomic controls to high-quality seats, guarantee the highest levels of operator safety and comfort.

Specific Warehouse Planning Benefits: One particularly beneficial area of ​​the Aisle-Master revolves around its warehouse planning capabilities, including layout recommendations and storage density calculations.
