Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Narrow aisle forklifts are specifically designed in order to fit down extremely narrow warehouse aisles. This provides several advantages to business owners such as significantly increasing their space to keep items. Even smaller aisles can fit a forklift through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not a lot of 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 objects 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 supplies across large distances. This problem could be solved easily if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Some businesses choose to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These things are then handed off to a regular forklift that is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts can not transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
How to Drive a Forklift Truck
An industrial powered lift truck or a forklift operates on the same principal as your typical car. It has brakes, an accelerator and a steering wheel and also requires concentration and some hand-eye coordination to operate. The forklift can lift loads which weigh several tons up to heights of 24 feet or higher. They could work in very narrow confines. Operating a forklift requires additional training and expertise to be able to run efficiently and smoothly.
