Warehouse Aisle Width Challenges
All warehouses and distribution centers are not created equal. Some have the space for standard width aisles (about 12 feet) and the traditional counterbalance sit down forklifts that can operate in them. Others however, configure their aisles in widths considerably narrower. Because real estate and space is at a premium in these tighter aisle operations many businesses expand in the only direction they can, up rather than out. The fact is aisle widths vary from location to location, that’s why Toyota has a wide range of forklift solutions to meet your variable aisle width needs.
Internal Combustion (IC) Forklifts

With lift capacities from 3,000 to 6,500 pounds and Toyota’s patented System of Active Stability (SAS) the dependable reliable Core IC Cushion forklift typically operates in 12-foot aisles, however, lighter capacity Core IC Cushion models can operate in aisles closer to 11 feet wide.
