Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) lift trucks come in a variety of styles, from ridged body to articulated middle joints. They can be used for stacking loads, stock replenishment and medium and high level order picking. They are only steered by the operator when transferring from one stacking aisle to another. Once in the stacking aisle the trucks are steered automatically (they can be either wire or rail guided). The most common type of vna truck is the “man up”, which means the operator within the cab, goes up in the air with the forks and load, thus making it quicker and easier to deposit or retrieve a load. Other types are VNA steered where the operator steers the truck through the aisles.

FORKLIFT TRAINING COSTS

It’s a well known fact that there are companies out there which offer VNA Man Up Novice courses on a pay monthly cost, this involves signing up for finance and usually incurs a very high interest rate and in some cases a deposit.

Normally these companies do not train their pupils direct and ultimately request quotes from companies like us. At Luft Training Services our VAN Man Up Novice course costs are both competitive and low so you can afford to go direct.
