Route Management Manual The Truck
Maneuvering Aisle Widths Aisle dimensions are key variables that need to be assessed while planning routes within a facility and should be indicated on the Facility Route Map. The truck’s Obstruction Sensor fields require clearance both in front and on the sides of the truck to maneuver through aisles. Table 5 lists the Minimum Aisle Width (MAW) requirements for single-lane aisles (one Raymond Courier, see Figure 9) and double-lane aisles (two Raymond Couriers, see Figure 11) under the following conditions: •
With Hazardous Zone: Hazardous Zones will be created in the aisle.
•
Without Hazardous Zone: The aisle has enough space that Hazardous Zones can be avoided.
Dimensional specifications include the consideration of the truck’s Stop Field, load width boundary, training accuracy, and path accuracy of the automated truck. All applications must be taken into consideration before planning and training a route. Although this information is in reference to aisles, it also applies to other areas in the facility where limited clearance is a concern (for example: doorways, walls, partitions, ramps, and so forth). Table 5.

NOTE: Speeds are reduced in Hazardous Zones. For optimum performance, use wider aisles and avoid aisles that result in the creation of Hazardous Zones.
NOTE: Single-Lane aisles can be used for 2-way traffic when trained as an Intersection Zone.
