They are either a Very Narrow Aisle Man Up Forklift, where the operator is rasied up tp the picking level, or Very Narrow Aisle Man Down Forklift, where the operator stays on ground level. Operators of the VNA Forklift truck are required to hold a certificate of training which shows they have attended a training course and passed a test to a set national standard.
