Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specifically designed to be able to fit down extremely narrow warehouse aisles. This offers some advantages to business owners such as greatly increasing their space to keep items. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a forklift through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is required to move a narrow aisle lift truck. Their design has enabled them to move without a lot of space because of the fact that the majority of items which hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are somewhat slow. These forklifts would not cut it if you need it to move supplies across large distances. This problem could be solved easily if you also have access to a regular forklift. Some companies choose to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a regular forklift that would take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are only effective for loads which are small.
