legrand,

Just some added info. that maybe useful to you.
1. When every you go to a very narrow aisle operation make certain that you have access to a back up machine that can work in your aisle. Don't always rely on a unit from a dealers rental fleet. These are specialized pieces of equipment and availability of a back up is critical if your machine goes down. Protect your self with a second machine is always a good option - with today's financing rates it can be very affordable.

2. You indicated that your rack top shelve will only be 16'. Again the Turret Master Superior Engineering attachment is ideal for this height. Many of the VNA machines on the market are designed to service racks much higher than this which may mean you will be paying more for a capability you will never use.

3. Forkliftaction website ran a nice article on1.12.06 in their newsletter #242 of the piece of equipment I am refering to.

I have no allegiance to any brand, manufactuer as I have retired from this industry after 41 years and jsut offering you a solution that has worked and can work for you to meet the objective you initialy stated & probably do it to save you some $$$.
