Narrow Aisle Forklifts
The narrow aisle forklift is designed particularly to fit down narrow aisles in a warehouse environment. These machines enable business owners the opportunity to increase their storage capacity to keep their materials and goods. Even smaller aisles could fit 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 enabled them to move without a lot of space due to the fact that most things which hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are quite slow. These forklifts will not cut it if you need it to move merchandise across large distances. This issue could be solved easily if you also have access to a regular lift truck. 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. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.

Operating a lift truck requires additional expertise and training in order to run smoothly and efficiently.
