Caterpillar Narrow Reach Forklifts Tucson

Narrow aisle forklifts

Narrow aisle forklifts are normally used within warehousing operations. These forklifts are essential tools within the industry as their extreme maneuverability and small size allow warehouses to maximize storing space. They could easily go around aisles that are 1.8 meters wide, while typical lift trucks require at least 3.4 meters of aisle width.



This particular kind of forklift is sub-categorized as "narrow aisle forklifts" and "very narrow aisle forklifts". The first need 2.4 meters - 3 meters in aisle width, whilst the latter could function in a 1.8 meters wide space.



The design of the narrow aisle forklift features forks which are positioned at right angles to the truck body. The trucks do not need to face the shelves, but instead drive straight down the aisle picking up loads to the side. This particular design feature is the key to their suitability for tight spaces.



Some very narrow aisle forklifts come with wire or optical guidance systems which make sure that the forklift moves in a straight line down the aisle, that leaves the operator free to focus on load picking and placement.



The cushion tires which come with these types of lifts are made of solid rubber. The hard tires perform well on smooth, paved surfaces and concrete floors. Narrow aisle forklifts have electric motors that is best utilized within indoor environments. Propane-powered versions are available too.
