Very Narrow-Aisle Vehicles Turret trucks and hybrid storage retrieval vehicles are classified as very narrow-aisle vehicles. Turret Trucks Turret trucks (swing-mast and swing-reach models) do not require the vehicle to make a turn within the aisle to store or retrieve a pallet. Rather, the load is lifted either by forks that swing on the mast, a mast that swings from the vehicle, or a shuttle fork mechanism (Figures 5.39 and 5.40).
