7 Your Narrow-Aisle Truck
NARROW-AISLE TRUCKS
Your narrow-aisle rider truck lifts, moves and stacks
loads. It is designed to work in warehouses built with
narrower aisles to give maximum storage.
YOUR LIFT TRUCK IS NOT AN AUTOMOBILE
With a load it may weigh as much as 3 automobiles.
• You don't steer the same.
• You don't brake the same.
• You don't accelerate the same.
FORK FUNCTIONS, STANDARD AND OPTIONAL
Raising and Lowering the forks, Tilt (up and down),
and Reach (in and out) are standard on the RR and RD
models. Your truck may also be equipped with Sideshift
(right and left), or other options such as Rack Height
Select. Your company has decided which features are
needed in your work area and should train you how to
use them.
HOW TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK
Your truck is designed with a tilted floorboard and
padding in the operator area. You drive your truck by
standing sideways and leaning back against the pad.
This, along with your hands on the controls and feet on
the pedals/pad, gives you stability. However, controls
are located so you can vary your body position for best
comfort and visibility.
GIVE YOUR BODY A BREAK
Take advantage of stop time. Get off the truck and flex
your arms and legs. Staying alert will help you be a
better and safer driver.
