Since 1976 Flexi Narrow Aisle is one of the world’s pioneers of very narrow aisle (VNA) warehouse truck design and development. Today our Flexi Digital range is distributed worldwide through a fully supported distributor network from the company’s manufacturing plants through hubs in the UK (Europe), USA (Americas), Taiwan (East Asia) and in over 65 countries worldwide.
Since Narrow Aisle pioneered the Flexi articulated warehouse truck concept in 1990, it has gone on to become the most popular type of truck on the market. The front-wheel-drive articulated concept we developed has become the global standard, our product has provided many benefits for warehouse customers.
Over 10,000 Flexi units have been built and shipped throughout the world, with many intralogistics customers in North America, Asia and Europe recognising the space-saving benefits. The exceptional cost savings that can be achieved are now recognised globally.
Over recent years, the Flexi Truck range has been developed significantly and can now lift loads weighing over 2.5 tonnes and lift to heights of over 14 metres with six distinctive model types available.
Although Flexi Narrow Aisle’s customers are involved in the storage and handling of many different products – from FMCG, foodstuffs and beverages to automotive – they all share at least one common aim: the need to maximize efficiency within their warehousing operation by increasing throughput and making the most of all the space that is available.
The Flexi VNA solution provides a space-efficient storage solution by eliminating dead aisle space required by traditional counterbalance forklifts, masts, reach trucks or guided Man Up VNA trucks. Depending on the building, the Flexi trucks can increase usable storage space between 25% and 50%, and by eliminating double handling make material handling operations significantly more efficient, reducing the cost per pallet stored and truck numbers and operators. Flexi trucks can work in aisles just 1.6M (ISO 1m) or 2.0M (EURO 1.2m) deep and transfer aisles of less than 3 metres, enabling warehouse layouts to be substantially improved.
The Flexi articulated truck is equally at home working outside the warehouse pallet racks in loading dock areas. It is able to operate a complete ‘road to rack’ function, eliminating time-consuming double pallet handling, and the cost of a separate counterbalance truck outside or into the back of a semi-trailer, enabling Flexi Digital to cut overall handling costs by up to 50%.
Flexi Narrow Aisle offer fully refurbished Flexi warehouse trucks direct from our manufacturing plant in the Great Bridge, West Midlands.

Flexi Narrow Aisle has over 300 trucks in its UK short term rental (STR) fleet
The UK-based manufacturer of the Flexi range of articulated reach trucks has over 300 Flexi trucks available at short notice to support peak periods and implementation projects.
Due to consistent investment, the average age of the trucks in Flexi’s short-term hire fleet is low, providing modern, safe and productive rental equipment at short notice to support seasonal peaks and increased business levels being seen across the logistics sector.
Our short term Flexi trucks can be hired for any period between one week to 12 months and beyond, they include full maintenance and service support in the weekly rental cost. Longer-term contracts are available at a lower weekly cost per unit depending on the rental period.
There is a growing trend towards the use of Flexi truck technology across many industry sectors and short-term rental is increasingly seen as an attractive way of quickly acquiring additional warehouse capacity by more and more companies.
Short term rental appeals to companies for various reasons but operational and budgetary flexibility are perhaps the biggest drivers. Companies can add short term rental trucks to their fleet to cover busy periods while finance directors can find short term contracts useful as the trucks commitment does not always need to appear in the user company’s balance sheet.
The full range of Flexi Digital articulated reach trucks – including the ultra-compact Flexi 15 and high lift Flexi Max 25 versions are now also available on short term contracts. All standard Flexi products are offered for next day dispatch and installation anywhere in the UK and Europe and are supplied and maintained through the company's national service and support network.
The unique Flexi chassis design means all components are both fully protected and easy to access. Only three covers are removed to access all serviceable components. Every Flexi Digital is supplied with easy to read truck diagnostics display and safety information including battery discharge indicator (BDI).
These systems monitor all key components to ensure ‘downtime’ is minimised. The Flexi digital technology controls the truck systems and records data allowing your operator to easily see any diagnostic information. For ease of service, there are no components under the traction battery, which means no possibility of acid damage to key components, and the battery need not be removed for regular maintenance.
The changing of lead-acid batteries for multi-shift usage is easy and safe with the ‘cassette’ style steel tank with fork pockets for removal and change over.

Since new rules on exports, imports and tariffs were implemented at the start of this year, the UK’s forklift industry has looked to buy locally in Britain when it comes to acquiring the components and parts that they need to service and maintain the lift truck fleets that are in operation at the nation’s vital warehouses and distribution centres.
