Why Wire-Guided?
Wire guidance transforms your narrow-aisle operation from a liability into a competitive advantage.
30-40% More Storage
30-40% increased densityNarrow aisles mean more racking. Wire guidance allows safe operation in aisles as narrow as 66 inches.
Reduced Product Damage
90%+ less rack damageAutomated steering eliminates side-shift errors and rack strikes. Your product and your racking stay intact.
Faster Travel Speeds
25%+ faster travelOperators can safely travel at higher speeds in guided aisles. More picks per hour, more throughput per shift.
Operator Fatigue Reduction
Less operator strainLet the wire do the steering. Operators focus on picking and placing, not fighting the wheel all day.
Is Wire-Guided Right for You?
Wire-guided systems deliver the most value in high-density, high-throughput environments.
- 3PL warehouses with high SKU density
- Cold storage / freezer operations
- Narrow-aisle reach truck operations
- High-throughput distribution centers
- Facilities looking to maximize cube utilization
- Operations with high operator turnover
Without Wire Guidance
- xWider aisles waste 30-40% of floor space
- xFrequent rack strikes and product damage
- xSlower travel speeds for safety
- xHigher operator fatigue and turnover
With Wire Guidance
- Narrow aisles maximize every square foot
- Virtually zero rack contact events
- Safe high-speed aisle travel
- Happier operators, lower turnover

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about wire-guided aisle systems.
What is a wire-guided system?
A wire-guided system uses a wire embedded in the warehouse floor that communicates with sensors on the forklift. The system automatically steers the truck down the aisle, keeping it centered and preventing contact with racking or product.
Will it work with our existing forklifts?
Most reach trucks and turret trucks can be retrofitted with wire-guidance sensors. We will assess your specific equipment during the site survey and let you know what is needed.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the total linear footage and complexity of your layout. Most projects are completed within 1-2 weeks. We can work around your shifts to minimize downtime.
Does the wire require maintenance?
Wire-guided systems are very low maintenance. The wire is embedded and sealed in the floor. Occasional signal checks ensure everything is operating correctly, but there are no moving parts to wear out.
Can we install it in phases?
Absolutely. Many customers start with their highest-traffic aisles and expand over time. The system is modular and can grow with your operation.
What is the ROI timeline?
Most operations see ROI within 6-12 months through increased storage density, reduced product damage, and higher throughput. The exact timeline depends on your volume and current efficiency.
