Propane cylinders are designed to take up really little space and could be kept inside the storage area or in an outdoor facility. It does take some time to switch out a propane cylinder, though, it still does require knowledge of safety standards such as the Occupational Health and Safety Administration or OSHA and also requires operator training in order to be performed safely.

Internal combustion forklifts are easier and faster to refuel, than electric trucks, but the IC or internal combustion engines create major air-polluting emissions and are very noisy.

NARROW-AISLE LIFT TRUCKS
The ITA's Class 2 trucks include a large range of electric lift trucks and these are particularly designed to be used in narrow aisles. The regular storage aisles are 12 feet wide, and this easily enables a counterbalanced lift truck to turn in the aisle and put a load away. Normally, the very narrow aisles are around 5.5 to 6 feet wide, whereas narrow aisles are 8 feet wide. These narrow aisles require specialized forklifts that are capable of putting away loads without any turning at all or that are small enough to turn on a tight radius.

Reach trucks, turret trucks and order pickers are 3 of the most common narrow-aisle forklifts. The differences between these trucks are discussed below.

Narrow-Aisle Reach Lift Trucks
The traditional reach truck is the original narrow-aisle lift truck and these machinery do not require a counterweight. They are also small enough to turn around in narrow aisles. Instead, stability is provided by the outrigger arms which extend in front of the forklifts. Nonetheless, these outrigger arms could prevent the forklifts from getting close enough to the storage rack to retrieve and deposit loads, depending on the storage configuration. To be able to overcome this situation, a pantograph was designed. The pantograph is a reach truck that is made with a telescoping device. This allows forks to concisely and easily reach into storage locations.

The best environment for narrow aisle lift trucks is a place which has clean floors, good lighting and well maintained floor, good traffic flow, in addition to sufficient turning space.
These types of equipment have revolutionized the material handling industry. Toyota stands behind their commitment to giving really durable equipment and exceptional quality. As the business changes, they continually strive to apply solutions in order to give their diverse client base with the best available products.
