Even smaller aisles can fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not a lot of space is needed to move a narrow aisle forklift. Their design has enabled them to move without much space because of the fact that the majority of things that 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 transport 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 objects are then handed off to a standard forklift that will take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to move as much weight so they are just effective for loads which are small.
