This provides some advantages to business owners such as greatly increasing their space to keep objects. Even smaller aisles are capable of fitting a forklift through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not much space is required to move a narrow aisle lift truck. Their design has enabled them to move without much space due to the fact that the majority of objects which hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are somewhat slow. These forklifts will not cut it if you need it to transport supplies across large distances. This issue can be solved easily if you additionally have access to a regular forklift. Some businesses prefer to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These items are then handed off to a regular forklift which would take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to move as much weight so they are only effective for smaller loads.
