Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specifically to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These machinery allow business owners the chance to increase their storage capacity to keep their materials and goods. Even smaller aisles can fit a forklift 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 due to the fact that the majority of items that 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 transport merchandise across large distances. This issue could be solved easily if you also have access to a standard forklift. 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 regular forklift that is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts can not transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
