Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specially to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse setting. These machinery enable business owners the chance to increase their storage capacity to keep their goods and materials. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are known 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 that 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 instance, if you are required to transport things across large distances, in terms of speed, these forklifts will not cut it. This issue could be easily solved if you also have access to a standard forklift. Some companies 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 which is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts can not move as much weight so they are just effective for loads which are small.
