![]() ![]() Turret trucks operate on a ground based laser or rail guided system which guides the unit during aisle operation, allowing the turret truck to function at extremely high speeds up to 16km per hour. ![]() The forks travel along a rail system mounted to the front mast allowing the operator to move the forks into position to lift and move pallets. The front mast provides the operator with an extra 2 metres of height, depending on the model, allowing for pallet handling up to 16 metres. The forks are mounted on a smaller front mast that can rotate 180 degrees, giving the operator access to both sides of the racking aisle without the unit having to move. The actual forks of the turret truck are located in front of the driver. This forces operators to use best judgments and trial and error processes for handling loads. This feature also allows the operator to perform single or multiple order picking, allowing for more accurate stock management.Ĭomparing this to conventional reach trucks or counter-balance forklifts where the operator can be up to 8 metres away from the actual pallet handling, resulting in the operators having an extremely obscured view. This man up process means the driver sits within the carriage of the turret truck, giving them a clear and accurate view of the pallet handling process, hence improving handling times. The main mast lifts the operator to heights of up to 14 metres (depending on the model). Turret Trucks are a battery operated machine that uses both the electric engine, battery and operator compartment to counterweight heavy loads. The turret truck is often abbreviated to VNA standing for very narrow aisle truck. A turret truck is specifically designed to do one task: operate in very narrow aisles.
