Their design has enabled them to move without a lot of 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.
Several of the disadvantages are that compared to standard forklifts, they are really slow. For example, if you are required to move items across large distances, in terms of speed, these forklifts will not cut it. This problem can be solved easily if you additionally have access to a standard forklift. Several businesses prefer to use the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These objects are then handed off to a standard forklift which 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 smaller loads.
