What Is Inductive Wire Guidance?
Inductive wire guidance is a specialist warehouse guidance system used to help VNA forklifts travel safely and accurately through very narrow aisles. A guidance wire is installed into the warehouse floor and connected to a signal generator, allowing compatible VNA trucks to detect and follow the wire during operation.
​
This system improves safety, reduces operator steering input, protects warehouse racking and supports efficient high-density storage, making it ideal for demanding warehouse environments.
Maximise warehouse storage capacity by enabling safe operation within very narrow aisles.
Improve accuracy and reduce rack damage through precise guided travel and consistent truck positioning.
Increase productivity and operational efficiency with reliable guidance for high-density warehouse operations.
