Very Narrow Aisle Truck
Efficient space utilisation with high rack VNA trucks
With our high rack stackers, you can stack pallets or pick individual articles with consummate ease. They impress with their throughput performance and space utilisation – both significant advantages in the face of growing costs and product variety in the world of logistics.
Our VNA trucks (high rack stackers): Impressive performance and maximum safety
If you value powerful performance, you will definitely be impressed by our electric high rack stackers: Thanks to energy recovery and effective energy management, you can easily use the stackers for two shifts under normal operation without having to change the battery. In addition, the well arranged cab provides your employees with a generous workspace. Large storage facilities and a clear view make for light work, as does the 'height and tilt' adjustable control panel. The safety of your employees is also assured by our high rack stackers: All models feature an integrated personal protection system to satisfy the highest safety standards.
Narrow-aisle trucks shine in tight spaces
Are you looking for a high rack stacker truck designed specifically for use in the medium and upper high rack sector? Then our narrow-aisle trucks are the perfect solution. They set new benchmarks with regard to flexibility, ergonomics and cost-effectiveness and ensure maximum throughput performance in narrow aisles. Thanks to their mechanical and inductive wire guidance, the narrow-aisle trucks operate very closely to the racks, which enables high travel and lift speeds while also reducing the strain on the operator. Depending on the circumstances and requirements of your warehouse, you can also enhance your high rack stackers with additional performance modules for the utmost flexibility. With over five million configuration options, our modular system not only ensures flexibility, but also optimum adaptation to your individual storage systems.
High rack stackers with innovative warehouse navigation
Thanks to the integrated RFID transponder technology, our high rack stackers inform you that "You have reached your destination" after every journey. This sophisticated warehouse navigation directs your trucks to the pallet locations with perfect precision. The warehouse management transmits all transport and picking orders directly to the truck terminal via radio data. The high rack stacker then identifies the next target location based on the X, Y and Z coordinates, allowing you to approach the relevant rack semi-automatically. The travel and lift directions are indicated on the display and the truck automatically approaches the right position with millimetre precision when the functions are confirmed.
Also equipped for fully automated operations
Intelligent automation components transform our field-tested serial trucks into Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). These combined with intelligent software keep your warehouse prepared for the future, streamline processes, and take efficiency to a new level. As an expert automation partner, we will plan and design an Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS) tailored to your needs, thereby enabling you to automatically increase the cost-effectiveness of your warehouse.
How do we optimise a warehouse?
It’s in our VNA!

Reach trucks vs VNA trucks.
How the VNA advantages stack up.
To fully realise how our VNA’s advantages stack up against a reach truck, take a look at our comparison guide. With man-up and man-down, manual, semi automatic and fully automated options Jungheinrich can get your business operating on the next level.
Compared to reach trucks, VNA have many advantages:
While reach trucks can achieve a huge amount with regards stacking and picking in restricted spaces, they cannot compete with VNA trucks which are designed and optimised to operate in a specific warehouse setup.
VNA can be designed for manual operation but often are semi-automatic and increasingly ‘fully-automated’ as technology moves towards less human intervention. A ‘man-down’ VNA truck has a rotating mast, making pallet retrieval easy and can operate in a wide variety of situations, including warehouses, loading bays and open areas. ‘A man-up’ VNA places the operator in a telescoping platform, enabling them to get close to the stacking and picking activity. These ‘man-up’ VNA are perfect for high density warehouse storage situations and often work with guidance systems built into the warehouse floor, making navigation simple and controllable.

Our energy expertise:
The positives just keep stacking up for a major online retailer.
Jungheinrich recently received a major order for more than 1,000 lithium-ion vehicles, the largest order ever awarded for vehicles fitted with lithium-ion batteries anywhere in the world - and the largest vehicle order volume in the company’s history. The global online retailer will employ these vehicles over the coming months in warehouses and distribution centres in Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany.More than 700 of these trucks will be VNA products operating in narrow aisle warehouses.
Steve Richmond, Director, Logistics Systems, Jungheinrich UK, says “Jungheinrich has worked hard to ensure that it responds to customer demand for more efficient and economical solutions and lithium-ion technology has played a huge part in that response. It’s great to see that our work has continued to see increased global demand as a result, and this order demonstrates the confidence our customers have in Jungheinrich’s ability to produce solutions that save time, money and resources while improving health and safety.”
In comparison with conventional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion technology results in a substantial increase in performance. Produced at the Jungheinrich plant in Norderstedt, Germany, the batteries can communicate with the vehicle as well as the charging device.
In addition to high performance, the advantages of lithium-ion technology include faster charging times,zero maintenance and a particularly long product life. The fast and short interim charging times enable the virtually continuous operation of fleets on a 24/7 basis. Not only is there no longer any need for time-consuming battery changes but since neither gases nor acid are emitted by lithium-ion batteries, special charging stations equipped with expensive exhaust systems are no longer necessary.
