What is a Turret Truck VNA?

A turret truck, also referred to as a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) truck, is best designed to operate effectively and efficiently in very narrow aisles and spaces with limited space for maneuvering. Ideal for high-density warehouses and distribution centers, these battery-operated machines utilize electric engines, batteries, and operator compartments to efficiently counterbalance heavy loads.

Why should I use a Turret Truck?

Companies are using Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) solutions to optimize space usage efficiently. Implementing VNA solutions streamlines internal goods flow, leading to increased productivity. Transitioning to VNA solutions enables handling more goods in less time, minimizing space requirements and reducing damage.

For high-density volume warehouses, turret trucks can save up to 50% more space compared to standard reach trucks and 25% more than articulated forklifts.

Advantages

✅ Significantly faster pallet handling in narrow aisle applications and productivity gains.

✅ Decreased operator errors due to improved visibility of loads, minimizing the risk of rack damage

✅ Reduced aisle width, increasing warehouse holding capacity.

✅ Highest racking solution, compared to articulated forklifts and reach trucks

 

What applications are Turret Trucks best used for?

Turret Trucks are optimal for navigating industrial settings such as high-density warehouses and distribution centers for very narrow aisles. These VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) trucks offer businesses the ability to maximize warehouse capacity without relocating. As a highly specialized machine, turret trucks excel in high-volume handling tasks and are the fastest option for load handling per hour.
