Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specially designed to be able to fit down extremely narrow warehouse aisles. This provides some advantages to business owners such as significantly increasing their space to store things. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a forklift 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 allowed them to move without a lot of space because of the fact that most items that hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are somewhat slow. These forklifts will not cut it if you need it to transport goods across large distances. This problem could be easily solved if you also have access to a regular lift truck. Some companies choose to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a regular forklift which would take it the bulk of the distance. normally, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are only effective for smaller loads.
