Very narrow aisle AGVs (VNA) are used in high-bay racking aisles. Very narrow aisle trucks are commonly installed in distribution and warehousing applications. Because they are able to drive in narrow aisles they can easily replace traditional VNA trucks operated by man.
VNA automated guide vehicles are equipped with turret forks or telescopic forks in order to store loads in the warehouse racks. VNA vehicles can also drop and pick loads from floor level. They work perfectly together with forklift AGVs supplying pallets to the warehouse.
VNA types
Depending on your warehouse application and the storage capacities you need to achieve we develop dedicated VNA AGVs or automate standard VNA trucks. This can be achieved by installing our
AGV automation pack on the forklift trucks. This allows the VNA trucks to move and store pallets fully independently. Manual driving and product handling with the truck remain possible however.
Dual-mode navigation
The use of our unique
navigation software E’nsor® allows for using two kinds of navigation methods on one AGV vehicle. This way, VNA trucks can navigate on laser outside the aisles and on wire or magnet when they are driving through the aisles and storing loads.
