Requirements of High-Tolerance Superflat Floors

Robotic VNA trucks, such as those from popular brands like Jungheinrich, Linde, Toyota, and Crown, are designed to operate in the tightest of spaces at the highest possible speeds. They require superflat floors with precise FF (Flatness) and FL (Levelness) numbers to function at peak efficiency.

FF (Flatness) Number

A higher FF number ensures that the floor has minimal undulations, allowing VNA trucks to move smoothly without unnecessary vibrations or jolts.

FL (Levelness) Number

A high FL number indicates that the floor is level across longer distances, critical for the stability and safety of VNA trucks as they navigate narrow aisles.

Meeting or exceeding the required FF and FL numbers is essential for allowing VNA trucks to run at full speed, maximizing your warehouse’s efficiency while minimizing the risk of accidents or equipment damage.

Benefits of Ultraflat Floor Grinding

VNA Performance

Ultraflat concrete grinding allows VNA trucks, AGVs, AMRs, and high‑reach forklifts to operate at their highest possible speed and stability.

Boosted Efficiency

Material‑handling equipment can travel faster and smoothly, reducing delays and increasing picks, moves, or cycles completed in a shift.

Improved Safety

Flatter floor significantly reduces equipment sway at height, minimizes the risk of collisions in narrow aisles, and lowers operator fatigue.

Structural Integrity

Advanced, computer‑controlled grinding that removes only the smallest amount of concrete necessary to achieve the required tolerances.

The Future of Ultraflat Floors.​

Introducing the FloorShaver​

At the core of our offering is the revolutionary FloorShaver—an automated grinding robot that redefines floor precision. Operating completely dust-free and at impressive speeds of 120 to 250m² per day, the FloorShaver is designed to create ultraflat floors that optimize the performance of your Material Handling Equipment (MHE)

1

Profileography Survey​

We run a specialized Profilograph down the wheel tracks to generate a digital terrain map of the concrete.

2

Targeted Grinding

Our machines grind *only* the specific high spots identified in the survey, preserving the slab's integrity while achieving flatness.

3

Verification & Certification

After the slab reaches the correct height, the crew checks the surface to confirm it is level and properly supported. They then patch the injection holes, clean the area, and ensure the slab is stable for long‑term use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultraflat floor grinding is a precision process that removes high spots and corrects surface variations to achieve extremely tight flatness and levelness tolerances. It’s essential for VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) warehouses, robotics, AGVs, and high‑speed material‑handling environments.

By creating a smoother, more consistent surface, ultraflat grinding reduces forklift vibration, improves safety, increases travel speed, and enhances the accuracy of automated systems. This leads to higher throughput and reduced maintenance costs.
