Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specifically designed in order to fit down very narrow warehouse aisles. This provides a few advantages to business owners like greatly increasing their space to store items. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is required to move a narrow aisle forklift. Their design has enabled them to move without a lot of space due to the fact that the majority of items that hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
Several of the downsides are that compared to regular forklifts, they are really slow. For instance, if you are required to move items across large distances, in terms of speed, these lift trucks would not cut it. This problem can be solved easily if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Some companies prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a standard forklift that will take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts could not transport as much weight so they are only effective for smaller loads.
