Introduction

The main benefit of the Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) lift truck is highlighted in its name – designed specifically for high-level order picking and maximising storage space within warehouses and distribution centres. VNA trucks can reach heights of up to 14.8 meters and carry loads weighing up to 1.5 tonnes. They can operate in aisles as narrow as 1460 millimetres and are often guided using wires or rails, reducing the risk of racking damage.

Kent Forklift Training offers courses for all types of VNA trucks, catering to trainees of all experience levels, from beginners to those needing a refresher. Operating these trucks safely requires a high level of skill. Our instructors will ensure that, by the end of the course, all trainees understand their legal responsibilities for ensuring the truck is safe to use and are proficient in operating the truck safely and efficiently.

Course durations will be customised based on the number of trainees and their experience levels. Our team will collaborate with you to determine the most appropriate course for your needs.
