Even smaller aisles can fit a lift truck through them. Narrow aisle forklifts are famous for their maneuverability and not much space is required to move a narrow aisle lift truck. Their design has allowed them to move without much space because of the fact that the majority of things which 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 would not cut it if you need it to transport supplies across large distances. This issue can be solved easily if you also have access to a standard forklift. Some companies choose 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 would take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts can not move as much weight so they are only effective for smaller loads.
