Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are particularly designed in order to fit down very narrow warehouse aisles. This offers some advantages to business owners such as greatly increasing their space to keep things. Even smaller aisles could fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not much space is needed to move a narrow aisle forklift. Their design has enabled them to move without a lot of space because of the fact that most items which hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are quite slow. These forklifts would not cut it if you need it to transport goods across large distances. This problem can be solved easily if you additionally have access to a regular lift truck. Several businesses choose to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These things are then handed off to a regular forklift which will take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to move as much weight so they are only effective for loads which are small.
