Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)What is a VNA forklift? A Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) forklift is designed to operate in extremely tight warehouse aisles, typically 5–6 feet wide, using wire or rail guidance for precise navigation. What types of VNA forklifts are included in this category? This category includes man‑up turret trucks, swing‑reach trucks, and wire‑guided order pickers designed for high‑level pallet handling in dense racking systems. What applications are VNA forklifts best suited for? They are ideal for high‑bay warehouses, distribution centers, and operations where maximizing pallet positions and vertical storage is critical. What lift heights and capacities are available? Typical VNA units range from 3,000–4,500 lb with lift heights from 240″–500″+, depending on mast configuration and model. Do VNA forklifts require guidance systems? Most VNA forklifts use wire guidance or rail guidance to maintain stability and precision in extremely narrow aisles. Can VNA forklifts operate outside of narrow aisles? They can travel outside the aisle for staging, but they are optimized for guided aisle operation and not intended for dock work or rough surfaces. Are these units CSA‑certified? Yes. All VNA forklifts supplied by Premier Lift Equipment can be delivered CSA B335 compliant with full documentation for MOL and facility audits.
