Conversion to Narrow Aisle Double Reach

If you currently have a counterbalanced sit-down rider truck layout or a stand-up narrow aisle truck layout with either 13-foot wide aisles or 9-foot wide aisles, and are handling standard 48" long pallets, you may be asking yourself whether you can narrow your aisles even further, using a narrow aisle double reach or deep reach truck to gain additional rows of storage racks within the same building space / footprint.

For each additional quad row of racks added to the system, you will require 27-1/2' of building width in order to accommodate the four rows of racks and the additional aisle required to service them.

Bold face type in the table shows where each high density system has an advantage over the standard sit-down rider truck system.
