Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specifically to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse setting. These machines enable business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to store their materials and goods. 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 enabled them to move without much space due to the fact that the majority of items that hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
Several 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 forklifts will not cut it. This problem 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 things are then handed off to a regular 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 loads that are small.
