Narrow aisle forklifts are known for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is required to move a narrow aisle forklift. Their design has allowed 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 goods across large distances. This issue can be easily solved if you also have access to a standard forklift. Several businesses prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These things are then handed off to a regular forklift which will 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.
