When you take hold of the control the ladder is raised to the mobile position for easy positive steering. Release the control and it returns automatically to the stationary mode where it is braked and completely stable.All skating and instability found with a warehouse ladder that use springs or foot pedals is eliminated and the platform remains perfectly steady.
One control does it all creating a much safer product.
When moving to a new location you are positioned away from the front of the ladder which allows a normal walking step and the ladder moves quickly and easily with minimal effort. Navigator will move to a new position in less than half the time of competing products. The single control also enables the platform to be used as a trolley.* The Navigator warehouse ladder is easier and faster to move around and saves time and equipment.
Move up to StockMaster Navigator Pro and you are protected against accidentally stepping off the front of the platform. With the fully automatic StockMaster Auto-Gate your hands are free to carry an item and still maintain a safe grip as you enter or leave the work-space. And with Navigator Pro you also have StockMaster Rota-Gate which provides a gate-way at the side of the platform creating easy access for stock-picking, inspection and many other tasks.
StockMaster Navigator is a modular design for easy parts replacement in the event of accidental damage. It is manufactured from high quality materials and built to last. With reasonable care a StockMaster Navigator warehouse ladder will give many years of service and cost less in the long run.
StockMaster Navigator meets or exceeds all the requirements of the Australian / New Zealand standard AS/NZS 1892.1:1996, US standard ANSI-ASC A14.2-2007 and the European Standard EN 131: Parts 1 and 2

StockMaster Navigator – Technical Data and Size Selection
Selection of the correct StockMaster model and size for your task requires a knowledge of both the operating environment and the application. Read the Operating Environment and Application data below and then choose your size from the chart at the end of this page.
The following information is a guide. For further help, consult us 1300 763 444
The Operating Surface.
Navigator requires a smooth and level surface for operation.
In the mobile mode, the feet of Navigator clear the operating surface by approximately 20 millimetres. A typical concrete slab floor provides a suitable operating surface, however areas around sumps, drains or other variations in level exceeding 20 millimetres will not permit correct operation.
To ensure clearance of the operating surface check the area to be used
The Operating Space.
Navigator is highly manoeuvrable and is suitable for use in confined spaces.
See StockMaster Space Requrements for calculation of the minimum space requirement for navigation between a service aisle and a picking aisle. Also check for –
Height of doorways and overhead structures. (See StockMaster Fold-Rail for help on this issue)
Space for turning at the end of storage bays.
Space for movement in aisles and between machinery and fixtures.
Principal Applications.
Picking and Shelf Stocking
Navigator is ideal for this application as it provides excellent manoeuvrability for maximum speed of relocation between fixtures.
For safe working, items to be handled should be light weight (5 kg maximum) and able to be carried in one hand. (For large or heavy items see StockMaster Lift-Truk. An exception is Navigator sizes 4 and 5 where suitably sized items may first be placed on the platform before transferring to shelving or retrieving from ground level.
If the Operating Surface is poor, StockMaster Tracker can be suitable dependent on the available Operating Space.
Maintenance or Inspection
This application is generally best serviced by StockMaster Tracker, however in confined spaces on good quality floors, Navigator is the preferred choice.

The Maximum reach is the height above ground at which an operator can work when standing on the platform.
The operating environment must also be known before a final choice of the product is made.
