Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not much space is needed 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 items that 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 would not cut it if you need it to move goods across large distances. This problem can be easily solved if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Some businesses prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a regular forklift which is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
