Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specifically designed in order to fit down very narrow warehouse aisles. This offers several advantages to business owners such as significantly increasing their space to keep things. Even smaller aisles could fit a lift truck 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 enabled them to move without a lot of space because of the fact that most items which hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck 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 problem could be solved easily if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Some companies 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 would take it the bulk of the distance. normally, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are just effective for loads which are small.
How to Drive a Forklift Truck
A forklift or an industrial powered lift truck operates on the same principal as your standard automobile. It has brakes, an accelerator and a steering wheel and also needs some good hand-eye coordination to operate and requires concentration. The forklift can lift loads which weigh several tons up to heights of 24 feet or higher. They can function in very narrow confines. Operating a forklift requires additional training and expertise to be able to work smoothly and efficiently.
