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 much space because of the fact that the majority of items that hinder movement have been squished up the main forklift body in their design.
Several of the disadvantages are that compared to regular forklifts, they are really slow. For example, if you are required to move things across large distances, in terms of speed, these lift trucks will not cut it. This issue can be easily solved if you also have access to a standard lift truck. Several businesses prefer to utilize 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. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts could not transport as much weight so they are only effective for smaller loads.
