01

3-Way Fork Handling

Fork rotation and side shift allow pallet access on both sides without turning the truck body.

02

Very Narrow Aisles

Designed for VNA racking systems where aisle width and storage density are critical.

03

High-Density Storage

Helps suitable warehouses increase pallet positions within existing floor space.

04

High-Rack Capability

Selected models support medium to high-rack pallet storage applications.

05

Guidance Options

Can support mechanical guide rail, electromagnetic guidance, and magnetic guidance systems.

06

Stable Pallet Placement

Designed for accurate pallet stacking and retrieval in narrow aisle racking.

07

Man-Down Operation

Suitable for VNA pallet handling where operator-up access is not required.

08

Application Flexibility

Stand-on and seated options support different aisle layouts, lift heights, and workflows.

Before

Standard forklift layouts often require wider turning aisles, reducing the number of pallet positions.

After

3-way pallet stackers work inside VNA aisles by rotating and shifting the forks for both-side pallet access.

VNA Storage Solution

A Practical Way to Build High-Density Pallet Storage

Electric 3-way pallet stackers are designed for structured VNA racking systems. Instead of turning the entire truck inside the aisle, the fork head rotates and shifts to reach pallets on both sides.

This makes the 3-way pallet stacker a practical choice for warehouses that need to reduce aisle width, improve pallet storage density, and support medium to high-rack pallet handling without moving to a larger facility.

Reduce Aisle Width Supports very narrow aisle layouts by eliminating the need to turn the whole truck for pallet placement.
Improve Pallet Density Helps suitable warehouses add more pallet positions through tighter racking and vertical storage.
Both-Side Pallet Access 3-way fork rotation and side shift enable pallet stacking and retrieval on left and right racking.
Guided Aisle Operation Can support guided VNA operation depending on the warehouse layout and configuration requirements.
Applications

3-Way Pallet Stackers for VNA Warehouse Applications

MiMA electric 3-way pallet stackers are suitable for warehouses that need dense pallet storage, narrow aisle operation, and efficient pallet stacking within structured racking systems.

High-density warehouse application

High-Density Warehouses

Improve pallet positions where floor space is limited and storage density matters.

3PL distribution centre application

3PL Distribution Centres

Support pallet storage and retrieval for multi-customer warehouse operations.

Retail distribution centre application

Retail Distribution

Handle pallet storage, replenishment, and dispatch support in dense racking layouts.

Cold storage application

Cold Storage

Help make better use of expensive refrigerated warehouse space through VNA layouts.

Manufacturing storage application

Manufacturing Storage

Support pallet storage for raw materials, work-in-progress goods, and finished products.

Warehouse racking project application

Racking Projects

Suitable for warehouse projects where forklift selection and racking design need to work together.

Selection Guidance

Is a 3-Way Pallet Stacker the Right Choice?

A 3-way pallet stacker is the right choice when high-density pallet storage, narrow aisle operation, and both-side racking access are more important than general-purpose forklift flexibility.

Compared With 3-Way Pallet Stacker Advantage Best Fit
Reach Truck Works in narrower VNA aisles with 3-way fork rotation and side shift. High-density racking and structured VNA layouts.
Counterbalance Forklift Requires much less aisle space for pallet stacking and retrieval. Warehouses prioritising storage density over general-purpose handling.
Man-Up Turret Truck Suitable when operator-up picking or elevated inventory access is not required. Man-down pallet storage and VNA stacking applications.
Articulated Forklift More specialised for guided VNA racking and both-side pallet access. Warehouses with planned VNA systems and fixed racking layouts.
Note: Final model selection should consider aisle width, rack height, pallet size, load weight, required lift height, floor flatness, guidance system, and whether operator-up picking is needed.

Discuss Your Application
What is an electric 3-way pallet stacker used for?
It is used for very narrow aisle pallet storage, pallet stacking, and pallet retrieval in high-density warehouse racking systems.
How does a 3-way pallet stacker reduce aisle width?
The fork head can rotate and side shift to reach pallets on both sides of the aisle, so the truck does not need to turn its whole body for stacking or retrieval.
What is the difference between a 3-way pallet stacker and a reach truck?
A reach truck is typically used in standard warehouse aisles. A 3-way pallet stacker is designed for VNA racking, using fork rotation and side shift to work in much narrower aisles.
What is the difference between a man-down 3-way stacker and a man-up turret truck?
A man-down 3-way stacker keeps the operator at ground level, while a man-up turret truck lifts the operator cabin with the forks for high-level visibility, picking, and stock counting.
What aisle width does a 3-way pallet stacker need?
Aisle width depends on the model, pallet size, load dimensions, guidance system, and rack layout. Selected MiMA models can support VNA operation around 1,500mm in suitable layouts.
What capacity and lift height are available?
MiMA 3-way pallet stacker models typically cover 0.8t to 1.6t applications, with selected models supporting lift heights from medium-level storage to high-rack warehouse applications.
Does it require a guidance system?
Many VNA applications use guidance systems to support safe and accurate aisle operation. MiMA 3-way pallet stackers can support mechanical guide rail, electromagnetic guidance, and magnetic guidance depending on layout requirements.
Can it improve warehouse storage density?
In suitable warehouse layouts, yes. By reducing aisle width and supporting high-rack pallet storage, a 3-way pallet stacker can help increase pallet positions within existing space.
What information is needed for model selection?
Useful information includes aisle width, rack height, pallet size, load weight, required lift height, floor flatness, guidance preference, and expected daily operating workflow.
