The Narrow Aisle Rover (NAROVR) has been designed specifically for navigating narrow aisles and tight machine clearance to perform part feeding, storage/retrieval or maintenance operations. At only 24 in. wide, it can squeeze into tight spaces; with its articulating boom, it can thread the needle to reach into a machine door or swing to the side to pick a component around a corner. It can lift and maneuver up to 500 lb.
The NAROVR is a battery-powered, self-propelled crane available with either walk-behind tiller handle or optional remote joystick control. The power source is 24V DC and the drive unit offers fully variable speed control with smooth acceleration and automatic parking brake. Lifting is electro-mechanically operated for a smooth, quiet lifting operation. The mast and boom articulation function come standard in manual free rotation, but they can be upgraded to electro-mechanical powered rotation as well.
It features a maximum horizontal reach of 56 in. with a 24 in. articulating forearm reach. With the standard boom lift, it can raise 30 in. vertically. The optional mast lift feature enables reach as low as 6 in. from the floor and increases the maximum lifting range by 36 in. for a total vertical travel of up to 66 in. The base size is only 24 in. wide by 48 in. long with a minimum folded length of under 6 ft. Lifting is accomplished with a standard low-profile mounted eye hook, but the articulating forearm can be equipped with optional attachments.
