Yale Turret Trucks & Order Pickers for Narrow Aisles
Earlier this summer, we published a blog about how minimizing aisle width can actually help you free up more space in your warehouse. However, if you plan to minimize aisle width, you need to have the right equipment designed to maneuver through narrow spaces. In this edition of the Voss Equipment blog, let’s zoom in and look at some of Yale’s equipment designed specifically to work within very narrow aisles: turret trucks and order pickers.

Very Narrow Aisle Turret Trucks
Volume surges and an increasing number of SKUs are pushing warehouses to need more storage space. However, rents are rising and operators aren’t always able to increase their square footage. Thankfully, storage optimization can help. As warehouses are optimizing their storage density with higher pallet racking systems and narrower aisles, we now need trucks that can maneuver through narrower aisles and reach higher heights without operator fatigue.
Here at Voss Equipment, we carry Yale’s Very Narrow Aisle Turret Trucks, which include models NTA 030 and 035SB. A 3,000-3,500-lb capacity, the Yale NTA-SB very narrow aisle series provides exceptional performance and stability in high-density warehouses. In fact, with the use of these very narrow aisles (VNA) turret trucks, warehouses can increase storage capacity by up to 50%.
Features of VNA Turret Trucks
The Yale NTA030 and 035SB very narrow aisle turret trucks help keep loads moving all shift long, reducing downtime and inefficiencies on the job, with features such as:
Ergonomics & Comfort
- Ergonomic, adjustable armrests
- Low-effort rotary grips
- Cushioned floor mats
- High back rest with full back support that can be flipped up for stand-up operation
Longevity
- Thermal sensors to prolong motor life and continually monitor temperature and adjusts truck performance to minimize component damage
- Standard AC technology
Automation & Precision
- The Smart-Glide height and load sensing system that optimize travel speeds and acceleration
- Wire Guidance System that automatically controls truck steering in the aisles without contact
- Optional end of aisle control, which slow or stops the truck when entering an intersection or exiting an aisle
- Optional wireless system that controls truck speeds and mast heights
Maneuverability
- 180-degree fork rotation for easy pallet moving from both sides of the aisle without turning the truck around

Features of Order Pickers
Order picker forklifts, sometimes referred to as cherry picker lifts, support fast, accurate stock picking. Keep order moving efficiently in tight spaces with models FS030BF, 0S030BF, 0S030EF, and SS030BF. Designed to function efficiently in vertical spaces, order pickers keep your warehouse operation moving efficiently in narrow spaces, allowing you to maximize your storage density without sacrificing equipment maneuverability and processing speeds.
Engineered with a 3,000-pound capacity, the medium to high level narrow aisle order pickers are highly productive lift trucks–robust enough to handle long hours of operation, even when working in tight, storage-dense warehouses. Operators enjoy features such as:
Ergonomics & Comfort
- Adjustable multifunction control handle
- Standard AC technology
- Cushioned floor mat
- Excellent visibility
- Retractable side gates
- Low step height for faster entry/exit and less operator fatigue
Durability
- Heavy-duty frame
- Dual hoist cylinders that create a stable environment for the operator and load
Precision
- Sensor-based system that controls truck steering without contact
- Multi-turn steering to provide accurate control and error detection
- Programmable performance
- Pallet clamps that automatically center and grip the pallet for fast, easy order picking
