Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are particularly designed in order to fit down very narrow warehouse aisles. This provides a few advantages to business owners such as significantly increasing their space to store objects. 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 enabled them to move without a lot of space because of the fact that the majority of 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 quite slow. These forklifts will not cut it if you need it to transport supplies across large distances. This problem can be easily solved if you additionally have access to a regular 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 which will take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are just effective for loads which are small.
