Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specially designed to be able to fit down very narrow warehouse aisles. This offers some benefits to business owners such as significantly increasing their space to keep things. Even smaller aisles could fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not a lot of 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 the majority of items which 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 will not cut it if you need it to move goods across large distances. This problem can be easily solved if you additionally have access to a regular forklift. Some companies 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 that is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts can not transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
