tomj,
1. With your stated a minimum (ideal)working aisle width of 83" with a 40" wide x 48" long pallet load and not wanting to use a unit with straddle legs don't think you will find a unit. The Linde e 10 requires an aisle width of a minimum of 110"+ 6-8". operating clearance but only has a basic lift capacity of 2200 lbs & would derate further when equipped with a side shift & triple mast plus it has a proprietary control system (a growing trend in the lift truck industry).
2. There are 3K electric, stand-up end control units (e.g. Clark ESM15S) or sit down 3 wheel lift with a short battery. Some of the old models were equipped with a GE SCR controller. This web site compartment has button on the left side called "Spec Checker" you can look up a lot of information on current & older models by brand name. What you need to look at is the spec titled "right angle stacking (working) aisle". In most cases this is a dimension without load length & operating clearance - you need to add your load length + 6-*' for clearance. In some case - European models or Asian units will have the aisle required with a specified load width & length.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
