Narrow aisle racking in warehouses can be the bane of many a business who just want to make the most of the space they have available. Often narrow aisles mean that traditional forklifts just aren’t the answer.

If you’re looking for a local solution which still has the capabilities of a standard forklift, but the flexibility to navigate those narrow aisles, why not consider articulated forklifts, available for sale and hire, from Hitec Lift Trucks?

Articulated forklifts allow you to pivot the forks and lifting mechanism. This allows for easy operation in tight spaces and can result in storage gains of up to 50% compared to standard forklifts. Articulated forklifts can work in aisles as narrow as 1.6 metres, a far smaller space than a traditional forklift.

Articulated trucks are strong, capable machines, with a variety of different models available to ensure you get the most out of your equipment. With some of these models able to reach heights of up to 14 metres, lift weights of up to 2.5 tonnes and handle a wide variety of goods, articulated forklifts have a wide working range and can be used throughout your facility for a large variety of jobs.

These forklifts are not just limited to internal use. Just as home outside and in loading areas, articulated forklifts can easily fulfil a ‘road to rack’ function. This eliminates the need handle pallets twice and the need for an additional counterbalance forklift truck.
