Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed specially to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These machines allow business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to store their materials and goods. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a forklift through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not much 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 items that hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck 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 would not cut it. This problem can be solved easily if you additionally have access to a standard forklift. Several companies choose to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a standard forklift that is responsible to 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.
