VNA trucks for sale and hire

VNA stands for very narrow aisle. A VNA forklift, often called a VNA truck or turret truck, is built to work in aisles much narrower than a reach truck or counterbalance forklift needs, so more of the building can be given over to racking. VNA Forklifts specialise in these machines, and they also handle reach trucks and counterbalance forklifts.

On their sales page you will find used VNA trucks, including man-up turret trucks and order pickers, together with reach trucks and counterbalance forklifts. Makes shown in current stock include Jungheinrich, Still, Boss and Linde, and they say they work across all major makes, so it is worth asking if you run a particular brand. Listings note when a truck is sold serviced, with a current LOLER and charger, or reconditioned; the exact preparation and any warranty vary by machine.

They also run a hire fleet. Flexible contracts start from 3 months, with full service and maintenance included. Trucks can be supplied for wire or roller (rail) guided aisles, and the fleet includes Jungheinrich EKX 516 trucks with 17,250mm lift. Short-term hire can cover a breakdown, a seasonal peak or a project. Several hire trucks are also listed for sale, so you can ask about buying the machine at the end of a hire if that suits you.

When you enquire, they ask for aisle width, lift height and guidance type so they can match a truck from the yard or the hire fleet.

24/7 engineers, transport and installation

A VNA truck is not something you drop off a lorry and leave. It needs lifting, positioning, guidance set up and commissioning, often in a live warehouse with tight access. VNA Forklifts handle collection, delivery, site-to-site relocation and installation in house, with their own hiab crane lorries and electric cranes. Their health and safety van and appointed person attend every VNA installation. On a recent Jungheinrich installation the truck was lifted into position with an Ormig pick-and-carry crane working alongside a Palfinger loader crane.

Specialist forklift engineers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for service, repairs and maintenance. They also carry out LOLER thorough examinations, supply new and second-hand forklift parts, service traction batteries, and offer operator training for VNA and reach trucks, including refresher training. You can read the detail on their services and transport and relocation pages.

That combination – a Barnsley yard that is open around the clock, engineers on the same hours, and transport kept in house – is what makes them useful for warehouses that run nights and weekends, not only for a weekday viewing.
