Taylor Warehouse Forklifts San Jose

Narrow Aisle Lift trucks

There are specially designed forklifts which operate in narrow warehouse aisles. These machines are normally known as narrow aisle or very narrow aisle lift trucks. They can negotiate smaller aisles easily and enable you to enjoy several advantages. Like for example, the increased amount of space to store stuff can really increase the overall available inventory of a company.



The narrow aisle forklift is manufactured to maneuver rather easily, as they are designed specifically to operate in confined spaces. Their unique design has eliminated many of the items which are squished up into the main body of the conventional forklift design.



The downside of narrow aisle lift trucks is that they are really slow in comparison to standard lift trucks. Narrow aisle lift trucks will not work if you have to transport things across large distances. When it comes to speed they would not be a dependable choice. If you also have a standard forklift, this will not be an issue. You could just use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central place and then hand it off to a standard lift truck which can travel the bulk of the distance in an efficient and timely way. Usually, narrow aisle lift trucks cannot handle as much lifting weight; thus, outside of smaller loads they are not going to be very helpful.



Electric Forklifts

For indoor operations like stores or in warehouses, traditional gas lift trucks are not a suitable option. They will not be as safe due to their fumes, or as cost-efficient or useful compared to an electric powered unit. Electric forklifts are often designed to look and function a lot like gas ones, but they use electric batteries that need to be recharged, instead of gasoline fuel.



Electric forklifts are popular for a range of reasons. For starters, they would save you lots of money on fuel costs. At first, electric units may cost more but over time, they make up for this in the long run. For instance, when gas prices go up, you will not be affected and will save a lot of cash. Electric models tend to last quite a bit longer than gas powered models also. This is partly due to the fact they are mainly utilized indoors and hence don't get as dirty or work in as harsh environments as the gas powered units. Electric models are healthier to utilize in poorly ventilated places such as indoor applications and warehouses as they don't emit noxious fumes. It could be extremely dangerous to use diesel or gas lift trucks indoors.



The electric lift truck does have several downsides like the fact that they can really just work for around 8 hours. Afterward the machinery will need to be charged for 8 hours and rested for another 8 hours. A lot of companies get around this situation by purchasing a spare battery so they can continually cycle them and have less downtime. There are fast charge batteries emerging on the market which are also minimizing the charging time.
