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.
