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