Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are particularly designed so as to fit down very narrow warehouse aisles. This provides some advantages to business owners such as greatly increasing their space to store things. Even smaller aisles can fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is needed to move a narrow aisle forklift. Their design has allowed them to move without much space because of the fact that most things which hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
Some of the disadvantages are that compared to regular forklifts, they are really slow. For example, if you are required to move objects across large distances, in terms of speed, these forklifts would not cut it. This issue could be easily solved if you additionally have access to a standard lift truck. Several businesses prefer to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These items are then handed off to a standard forklift that will take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to move as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
