Flexi Articulated Fork Lift Trucks
- Market Leading Visibility
Flexi® is designed with a Twin-Post Hi-Vis Operators Overhead Guard and an advanced “Clear View” Hi-Vis Mast, with mast brace sections designed not to impede eye-line and a sloped nose cone which combine to provide unrivalled visibility. This design significantly enhances safety and accuracy, allowing operators to handle loads with greater precision and confidence to maximise throughput.
The unobstructed view reduces blind spots, keeping your operators, infrastructure and products safe, especially in high-density racking environments. With its ergonomic design elements and enhanced visibility features, Flexi® ensures a safer, more efficient, and more comfortable experience for operators, ultimately boosting productivity in demanding warehouse operations.
- One Range
Here at Narrow Aisle Limited, we have been pioneers of articulated truck design & both narrow and very narrow aisles since 1976. We are specialists in our craft and have dedicated our time to one range, with 5 main models.
Your space really is our expertise. Celebrated for its unmatched versatility and precision in navigating narrow aisles, Flexi® has become a game-changer in the world of warehouse and logistics operations.
- TrueRadius®
Flexi® features a bespoke, curved chassis design known as TrueRadius®.
This innovative design allows the truck to follow the exact curvature of the chassis during articulation, significantly reducing the risk of racking damage. As a result, operators can concentrate fully on handling loads, improving both speed and safety during operation.
In contrast, conventional articulated trucks often swing outward when turning in an aisle, increasing the likelihood of impact and potential racking damage. The TrueRadius® design eliminates this issue by maintaining a consistent profile throughout the turn.
- Innovative Hydraulic Design
Flexi® is engineered with independent drive, lift, and steer motors, which ensures exceptionally smooth and precise operation without the risk of hydraulic interference.
This independent motor system enhances performance, allowing operators to manoeuvre effortlessly in tight warehouse environments while maintaining full control over all loads.
By eliminating the reliance on shared hydraulic functions, Flexi® delivers consistent power distribution, reducing wear and tear on components and improving long-term reliability.
Here at Flexi we believe when operating in Very Narrow Aisles and lifting up to 15,000mm it’s important to have complete control over your load and the smoothest articulated solution available.
- Front Wheel Drive & Over-Rotation™
Flexi® is a pioneer of front wheel drive design.
The benefit of an articulated truck being front wheel drive gives the operator complete control over the load and allows Over-Rotation™ of the articulated steer. This enables the operator to turn in an extremely tight environment and allows for an operator to correct any errors in their movements in the aisle.
Combined with a true indoor/outdoor wheel and tyre configuration, the front wheel drive solution is the perfect option for traction in all conditions, offering a true one truck, Road-to-Rack™ Solution.
Flexi VNA articulated forklifts offer several benefits that make them valuable to various warehouse and distribution centres.
Space Efficiency
Flexi forklifts are designed to operate in narrow aisles, maximising storage space within warehouses. This efficient use of space allows for higher storage density.
The articulated design of Flexi forklifts enables them to make sharp turns in tight spaces. This manoeuvrability is particularly beneficial when navigating narrow aisles and handling loads in confined areas.
Flexi forklifts are versatile and can handle a variety of load types. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and can be employed in various material handling applications.
The ability to operate in narrow aisles contributes to increased productivity by reducing the travel distance between racks. This results in faster load retrieval and more efficient warehouse operations.
The space optimization provided by Flexi forklifts can lead to reduced warehouse footprint and associated costs. Additionally, the versatility of these forklifts may eliminate the need for different types of equipment in certain applications.
The efficient design of Flexi forklifts, coupled with their ability to operate in narrow spaces, allows for higher pallet throughput. This is particularly valuable in high-density storage environments.
