KD16 Man-Down VNA
3.0-Ton Hinge-Type Narrow Aisle Forklift for Heavy Pallet Storage and High-Bay Warehouses
The Akuros KD16 Series Man-Down VNA Turret Truck is designed for high-density warehouse storage, narrow aisle pallet handling, and efficient rack-to-rack operation. With a compact body, multi-directional fork movement, and lift height up to 7500 mm, it helps warehouses increase storage density while maintaining stable and efficient pallet handling performance.
Unlike conventional reach trucks or counterbalance forklifts, the KD16 is built for very narrow aisle operation. The forks can move sideways and rotate, allowing the truck to pick, place, and stack pallets without turning the whole vehicle inside the aisle. This makes it an ideal solution for warehouses that want to increase storage capacity, reduce aisle width, and improve handling efficiency.

Integrated Technology Options Increase Efficiency
Multi-Directional Fork Operation
The KD16 is equipped with forks that can perform side-shifting and turret rotation, allowing the operator to complete pallet picking and stacking in very narrow aisles. This reduces unnecessary truck movement and improves operating efficiency when handling pallets on both sides of the rack.
Electronic Display and Integrated Control Area
The operating compartment includes an electronic display, direction control, fork control handle, lifting controls, emergency stop, lighting controls, and charging interface. This integrated layout helps operators monitor truck status and control key functions more efficiently during daily warehouse operation.
Produktivität
Higher Storage Density
The KD16 supports aisle operation as narrow as approximately 1550–1650 mm, helping warehouses reduce aisle space and increase rack positions. Compared with traditional forklift aisles, this narrow aisle design can significantly improve warehouse storage capacity.
Efficient Pallet Stacking and Retrieval
With fork side-shift and rotation functions, the truck can access pallets on both sides of the aisle without wide turning movements. This improves pallet storage and retrieval efficiency, especially in high-density rack systems and long aisle operations.
High Lift Performance
With lift heights available up to 4500 mm and 7500 mm depending on configuration, the KD16 supports medium-to-high rack storage applications. It allows warehouses to make better use of vertical space while keeping pallet handling stable and controlled.
Manövrierfähigkeit
Very Narrow Aisle Operation
The KD16 is designed for narrow aisle warehouse layouts, with minimum aisle requirements of approximately 1550–1650 mm. This makes it suitable for facilities where storage density is more important than using wider conventional forklift aisles.
Side-Shifting and Rotating Forks
The forks can shift laterally and rotate to the left or right, enabling direct pallet access without turning the truck body. This improves maneuverability in narrow aisles and allows more precise pallet placement.
Compact Truck Structure
The compact body and controlled travel system help the truck move smoothly through narrow rack aisles. This supports safer handling in high-density storage areas, especially where pallets, rack uprights, and aisle clearance are limited.
Eco-Performance
The KD16 uses an electric drive system, making it suitable for indoor warehouse environments. It produces no direct exhaust emissions during operation and supports cleaner material handling compared with fuel-powered equipment.
Because the truck can pick and place pallets through fork movement rather than full vehicle turning, it reduces unnecessary travel and positioning movements. This helps improve handling efficiency and supports more energy-conscious warehouse operation.
Electric travel and lifting systems help reduce noise levels during warehouse work. This provides a more comfortable operating environment for drivers and nearby warehouse personnel.
Options
Different Lift Height Configurations
The KD16 series includes different lift height options, such as 4500 mm and 7500 mm configurations. This allows customers to select the model according to rack height, pallet weight, and warehouse layout.
Fork and Mast Configuration Options
Different fork sizes, mast heights, and side-shift/rotation functions can be matched according to pallet dimensions and aisle requirements. This helps the truck adapt to different rack systems and pallet handling needs.
Safety and Guidance Options
The truck can be equipped with safety features such as enhanced overhead guard protection, fork monitoring, cross laser guidance, warning lights, and aisle guidance assistance. These options help improve driving confidence and operational safety in narrow aisle environments.
Anwendungen
Very Narrow Aisle Warehouses
The KD16 is ideal for VNA warehouse layouts where aisle width must be minimized to increase storage capacity. It helps warehouses store more pallets within the same building area.
High-Density Rack Storage
For warehouses using selective racking, high-bay storage, or dense pallet storage systems, the KD16 provides efficient pallet access on both sides of the aisle. It is suitable for operations that need accurate pallet positioning and stable high-level stacking.
Logistics, Manufacturing, and Distribution Centers
The truck is suitable for logistics centers, industrial warehouses, manufacturing storage areas, and distribution facilities. It helps improve pallet flow, reduce aisle space, and increase warehouse operating efficiency.
