Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specifically designed in order to fit down extremely narrow warehouse aisles. This provides several benefits to business owners such as greatly increasing their space to store objects. Even smaller aisles could fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is required to move a narrow aisle lift truck. Their design has enabled them to move without much space because of the fact that most objects which hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are quite slow. These forklifts would not cut it if you need it to move merchandise across large distances. This issue could be easily solved if you also have access to a regular lift truck. Some companies prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a standard forklift that would 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.
