HANGCHA
A narrow aisle forklift is purpose-built for the Australian warehouse where every square metre matters. Hangcha Australia supplies three main types: the reach truck for full-pallet storage at height (lift up to 13,000 mm on the XC Series, capacity up to 3.0 t on the X Series 4-way), the order picker for piece-picking in retail and e-commerce fulfilment, and the turret truck (VNA) for guided aisles of about 1.6 to 2.0 m. Models are available with lithium-ion or lead-acid power and are supported from our warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Use the comparison table and selection guide below to find the right model for your aisle width and load profile.
