Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specifically to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These equipment allow business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to keep their goods and materials. 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 lift truck. Their design has enabled them to move without much space because of the fact that most items which hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are somewhat slow. These forklifts will not cut it if you need it to move goods across large distances. This problem could be solved easily if you additionally have access to a regular forklift. Some businesses prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a regular forklift that will take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are only effective for loads that are small.
