Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specially designed in order to fit down extremely narrow warehouse aisles. This provides some advantages to business owners such as greatly increasing their space to keep items. Even smaller aisles could fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not much 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 the majority of objects which hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck body in their design.
Several of the downsides are that compared to regular forklifts, they are really slow. Like for instance, if you are required to transport things across large distances, in terms of speed, these forklifts would not cut it. This issue could be solved easily 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 things are then handed off to a regular forklift which is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are only effective for loads that are small.
