Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed particularly to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These equipment enable business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to store their materials and goods. Even smaller aisles can fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is required to move a narrow aisle lift truck. Their design has allowed them to move without much space because of the fact that the majority of objects 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 goods across large distances. This issue could be solved easily if you also have access to a standard forklift. Several businesses choose to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These items are then handed off to a regular forklift which would take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to move as much weight so they are only effective for smaller loads.
