Hello!

We are looking at installing racking in our storage unit. We have two options,

- to buy a reach truck (less pallet spaces, but cheaper set up)
or - buy a narrow aisle forklift (more pallet spaces but quite a bit more expensive to set up

Obviously with a reach truck we would need to have a counterbalance for loading/unloading vehicals?

Is narrow aisle the future or is it personal preference? I could imagine the process of using a bendi being a lot slower than a reach truck? Do the narrow aisle fork lifts take a long time to get used to?

Thanks very much!!!
