Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed particularly to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These machines enable business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to keep their materials and goods. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting 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 forklift. Their design has allowed them to move without much 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 somewhat slow. These forklifts would not cut it if you need it to move merchandise across large distances. This issue can be easily solved if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Several businesses prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to transport 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 could not move as much weight so they are just effective for loads that are small.
