For example, if you are required to move items across large distances, in terms of speed, these forklifts would not cut it. This problem can be solved easily if you additionally have access to a standard forklift. Several companies prefer to utilize the narrow aisle forklift to transport the load to a central location. These things are then handed off to a regular forklift that is responsible to take it the bulk of the distance. Usually, narrow aisle forklifts are unable to transport as much weight so they are just effective for smaller loads.
