Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specially to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse setting. These equipment allow business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to store their goods and materials. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not much 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 most objects 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 very slow. For instance, if you are required to move objects across large distances, in terms of speed, these lift trucks would not cut it. This problem can be easily solved if you also have access to a standard forklift. Some businesses choose 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 will take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts can not transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
