Book an F-Min Floor Survey for VNA Lift Trucks Without Interrupting Your Warehouse Operations
June 18, 2025
Today, with the rapid development of automation and warehouse storage systems, the flatness and levelness of your floor in a very narrow aisle (VNA) warehouse is more important than ever.
However, limiting the work carried out in areas of your warehouse while an F-min floor survey for special lift trucks (VNA) is executed is far from ideal.
CoGri Canada has both the experience and the specially designed equipment to ensure this delay is avoided.
What is an F-Min System, and why is it Important for VNA Lift Trucks?
The F-min system is a recognized standard in Canada and the United States, used to assess the flatness and levelness of industrial floors. Such surveys are highly recommended for warehouses where forklifts move along specified trajectories at great heights, as any unevenness in the floor can cause loss of stability, violate safety procedures, and reduce equipment efficiency.
Checking Floor Flatness Without Impacting Warehouse Productivity
Some clients express concern that a floor flatness survey might affect their warehouse’s productivity or that ongoing renovations and refurbishments could be delayed.
CoGri Group manufactures its own ‘Profileographs’ – innovative floor testing equipment that allows our experienced surveyors to work in unison with your warehouse processes.
This avoids operational disruptions or interrupting warehouse renewal programs, such as replacing racks. The F-min Profileograph checks the floor’s surface regularity against the American F-min number system for defined traffic floors.
What are the Advantages of a CoGri Canada F-min Floor Survey?
1. No Warehouse Downtime
Our unique floor survey method allows us to conduct surveys while warehouses are fully operational.
Our engineers move the CoGri Profileographs along each of the tracks where the VNA trucks travel, delivering quick and accurate data in minutes.
2. No Interference When Modernizing Your Warehouse
Our equipment is highly mobile and self-contained, with no wet or dirty processes required.
This means there are no obstacles to installing new racking systems or other warehouse modernization processes while CoGri Canada inspects the floor. Our specialists coordinate their work with your engineers, ensuring surveying is carried out according to your warehouse schedules.
3. Floor Flatness Reporting and Insights
Once the survey is completed, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the floor’s compliance with the F-min standard.
CoGri Canada engineers, in collaboration with your project managers, discuss the report in detail and offer recommendations for rectifying defects. This enables you to respond swiftly to issues and prevent adverse consequences.
