Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specially designed in order to fit down extremely narrow warehouse aisles. This offers several benefits to business owners such as significantly increasing their space to keep things. Even smaller aisles can fit a forklift through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is required 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 lift truck body in their design.
Some of the disadvantages are that compared to regular forklifts, they are really slow. For example, if you are required to transport objects across large distances, in terms of speed, these lift trucks would not cut it. This problem could be easily solved if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Several businesses prefer to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These things are then handed off to a regular forklift which will take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts can not move as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
