Flexi, the clever narrow-aisle forklift manufactured by Narrow Aisle Ltd of the United Kingdom, this week debuts at Japan's Logis-Tech exhibition in Toyko.

Tailift Co Ltd, Narrow Aisle's sole agent for the Far East, Asia and Australia, and Narrow Aisle marketing manager Helen Bishop are exhibiting the Flexi.

The Japanese debut continues the Tipton company's expansion of the product, which it claims can increase warehouse capacity by 30 percent. The machine can work in very narrow aisles, lift up to 11 metres, carry loads of up to two tonnes, and work inside and outside.
