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 due to the fact that the majority of items which hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck body in their design.
Some of the disadvantages are that compared to regular forklifts, they are really slow. For example, if you are required to transport things across large distances, in terms of speed, these lift trucks would not cut it. This problem can be solved easily if you additionally have access to a regular forklift. Several companies choose to use the narrow aisle forklift to move the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a regular forklift which is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are just effective for loads that are small.
