Integrated Technology Options Increase Efficiency

180° Fork Rotation and Side Shift

The K16 is equipped with forks that can rotate 180° and move sideways. This allows operators to pick and place pallets on the left and right sides of a very narrow aisle without turning the whole truck body.

This structure is ideal for VNA warehouse layouts where aisle width must be reduced to increase pallet positions. By combining fork rotation and side shift, the K16 improves pallet handling efficiency and makes high-density storage operation more flexible.

Man-Up Cabin for High-Level Operation

The operator cabin rises together with the forks, allowing the driver to work closer to the pallet and rack position. This improves visibility during high-level stacking, order picking, and inventory checking.

Compared with ground-level operation, the man-up design helps operators observe pallet entry, fork position, rack beam clearance, and cargo condition more directly. This supports safer and more accurate high-level material handling.

Built for Very Narrow Aisle Storage

The K16 can work in a minimum stacking aisle width of 1,650 mm, making it suitable for warehouses that need to maximize pallet positions within limited floor space. Compared with wider aisle forklift layouts, the K16 helps create more racking rows and improve storage density.

For logistics centers, cold storage warehouses, e-commerce warehouses, spare parts warehouses, and manufacturing storage facilities, this narrow aisle performance can significantly improve warehouse space utilization.

Stacking, Picking, and Inventory in One Truck

The K16 is not only used for pallet stacking. Because the operator cabin can rise with the mast, it can also support order picking and inventory checking at higher rack levels.

This one-truck multi-function capability helps reduce the need for separate picking equipment and stacking equipment in some warehouse layouts, improving equipment utilization and operational flexibility.

High Lift Capacity for High-Bay Warehouses

The K16 series can support total lift height up to 14,200 mm, making it suitable for high-bay racking systems and vertical storage applications. This allows warehouses to use more building height and increase pallet storage capacity.

Akuros can help customers select the right mast configuration according to rack height, pallet weight, building clearance, floor flatness, and aisle guidance method.

Маневренность

180° Fork Rotation for Left and Right Stacking

The K16 can rotate the forks 180° to handle pallets on both sides of the aisle. This allows the truck to perform three-way stacking in very narrow aisles without turning the whole vehicle.

This function improves aisle efficiency and is especially useful for high-density pallet racking systems.

Minimum Stacking Aisle Width of 1,650 mm

The K16 can operate in a minimum stacking aisle width of 1,650 mm for standard mechanical rail guidance configurations. Magnetic navigation configurations may require additional aisle width depending on project design.

This narrow aisle capability helps warehouses reduce aisle space and increase rack density.

Mechanical Rail Guidance

Mechanical rail guidance uses bottom beams and ground rails in the aisle. The truck travels along the rail in the aisle, providing efficient and safe guided operation.

This guidance method is suitable for warehouses that want stable high-speed VNA operation inside fixed rack aisles.

Eco-Performance

Electric Power for Cleaner Warehouse Operation

The K16 is battery-powered and suitable for indoor warehouse applications where clean operation is required. Electric operation avoids on-site exhaust emissions and is better suited for enclosed storage areas, high-bay warehouses, and cold chain facilities.

Energy-Saving Full AC System

The 80V full AC system is designed for efficient power output and lower energy consumption. It helps the truck respond quickly while reducing unnecessary energy loss during travel, lifting, steering, and hydraulic functions.

Regenerative Braking

The K16 uses regenerative braking and electromagnetic braking. Regenerative braking helps recover part of the energy during deceleration and supports more efficient electric operation.

Options

Mast Configuration

The K16 can be configured with duplex mast, free triplex mast, and high-lift mast options according to rack height and warehouse clearance. Total lift height can reach up to 14,200 mm.

Lithium Battery Option

The K16 can be configured with lithium battery options according to working hours and charging requirements. Available lithium battery specifications include 80V/460Ah, 80V/600Ah, and related model-specific configurations.

Guidance Mode Options

The K16 supports different guidance modes, including mechanical rail guidance, low rail guidance, and magnetic guidance. Akuros can help select the right guidance method according to rack design, aisle width, floor condition, and storage plan.

Приложения

Very Narrow Aisle Warehouses

The K16 is designed for very narrow aisle pallet storage where maximum storage density is required. It allows pallet stacking on both sides of the aisle without turning the whole truck body.

High-Bay Pallet Storage

With total lift height up to 14,200 mm, the K16 is suitable for high-bay warehouses that need to maximize vertical storage space.

Холодильные склады

The K16 can be evaluated for cold storage applications such as frozen food, seafood, dairy, meat, and refrigerated distribution warehouses. Cold storage configuration should be selected according to temperature, condensation condition, and daily working schedule.
