Turning radius
The radius of the locus drawn by the extreme outward side of
the truck body when the forklift turns either right or left at the
minimum forward speed with the steering wheel turned
completely is called the “outside minimum turning radius”.
The radius of the locus drawn by the inner front tire is called
the “inside minimum turning radius”.
Right angle (90°) stacking aisle
The right angle stacking aisle denotes the minimum width of
an aisle in which a forklift truck is able to load and unload after
completing a 90 degree turn.
Right angle (90°) intersecting aisle
The minimum turning radius indicates the sharpness of a turn,
but it does not indicate how large a space is required to make
a turn. The right angle intersecting aisle is defined as the
minimum width of aisle which intersects at right angles
through which the forklift truck is able to pass. The catalog
data is for a non-loaded with the forks set at their widest
position.
