2024 CAT Lift Truck NTD13-15N3 Man-down VNA Trucks NTD15N3

There is now no need for feeder trucks or P&D (pick-up and deposit) stations at aisle ends, as our man-down VNA trucks take care of transport as well as stacking and retrieval. This saves on fleet size, driver numbers and time, while increasing storage space.

Wire or rail guidance allows the man-down VNA truck operator to drive quickly, and to lift and lower safely while travelling, in aisles little wider than the truck. Pallets can be handled on either side of the aisle thanks to a swivelling turret fork assembly.

Precise control of these very narrow aisle trucks is assured by Palm Steering and a multifunctional joystick. Their left and right armrests are adjustable, along with floor height, for a perfect fit. The weight-adjusted seat gives a relaxed driving position and tilts to reduce strain when viewing loads at height.

Features may include:

• Compact dimensions and reach truck levels of mobility enable fast manoeuvring outside the aisles, for rapid transport of goods to and from the VNA racking with no need for feeder trucks or P&D stations.

• Swivel fork assembly rotates through 180 degrees, allowing pallet stacking and retrieval on either side of the aisle without turning the truck around.

• Wire guidance option permits fast performance in very narrow aisles, including safe lifting while driving, without the obstruction, debris accumulation and relatively high installation expense of guide rails.

• Rail guidance option permits fast performance in even narrower aisles, including safe lifting while driving, without the power supply dependency and electronic sensor expense of wire guidance.

• 360-degree steering option enables fluid turning without stopping to change direction.

• Market-leading travel speed (14 km/h) and optimised hydraulic attachment speed come as standard.
