What is a tight space truck?
A tight space truck is a compact forklift or warehouse truck specifically designed to perform optimally in narrow aisles and compact storage areas. Its short turning radius, excellent sight lines and often electric drive allow operators to work safely and productively where ordinary forklifts fall short.
There are different versions, such as 3-wheel forklifts, reach trucks, stackers and compact electric forklifts. Which version is most suitable depends on your aisle width, lift height and flow of goods.
