Their design has enabled them to move without much space due to the fact that the majority of things that hinder movement have been squished up the main lift truck body in their design.
These forklifts have a weakness in that they are somewhat slow. These forklifts will not cut it if you need it to move goods across large distances. This problem could be solved easily if you additionally have access to a standard lift truck. Some businesses choose to use the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a regular forklift which will take it the bulk of the distance. Typically, narrow aisle forklifts can not move as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
