Tight space trucks

A tight space truck is the solution for companies that work daily in narrow aisles, compact warehouses or work floors where every inch counts. At Webo Forklifts you will find a wide range of tight space trucks - both new and used, and available for purchase or rental.

Whether you are active in a distribution center, retail warehouse, cold store or production area, a tight space truck increases efficiency, safety and storage capacity within your company.

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.
