Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specially to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These machines allow business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to keep their goods and materials. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a forklift through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is needed to move a narrow aisle lift truck. Their design has enabled them to move without much space because of the fact that most 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 somewhat slow. These forklifts would not cut it if you need it to transport supplies across large distances. This problem can be solved easily 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 items are then handed off to a regular forklift that 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 loads which are small.
