If you are looking to maximise the storage capacity of your warehouse while maintaining efficient accessibility, narrow aisle pallet racking, or very narrow aisle pallet racking is the perfect solution. Designed specifically for narrow aisles, our racking system allows you to make the most of every inch of available space, providing exceptional storage efficiency for your business.
Narrow aisle pallet racking, or very narrow aisle pallet racking (VNA) is a type of pallet racking system designed to maximise storage density within a warehouse by utilising narrower aisles compared to traditional wide aisle racking. Characterised by its compact design and reduced aisle width, narrow aisle or very narrow aisle (VNA) pallet racking systems can typically have aisles as small as 1.6m wide.
One of the primary advantages of narrow aisle pallet racking is its ability to maximise storage density. By utilising narrower aisles and optimising vertical space, it allows for more efficient utilisation of available floor space, resulting in a higher storage capacity compared to wide aisle racking.
The compact design and up to 50% reduced aisle width compared with wide aisle pallet racking solutions enables warehouses to make the most of their available space. By reducing aisle width, more racking units can be installed, allowing for better space optimisation and potentially increasing storage capacity by up to 40%.
The compact design and use of narrow aisle forklift truck guided by rails or wire systems contribute to improved operational efficiency. The specialised handling equipment can navigate more precisely and efficiently, reducing travel times between racks and increasing productivity.
Despite the narrower aisles, narrow aisle pallet racking still allows direct access to each pallet. Specialized handling equipment, such as turret trucks or VNA forklifts, can manoeuvre within the aisles to retrieve or store pallets, ensuring easy accessibility and efficient order picking.
Narrow aisle racking requires specialised material handling equipment, such as very narrow aisle (VNA) forklifts or commonly known as turret trucks and articulated forklift trucks. These machines are designed to operate in narrow aisles and have features like rotating forks or articulating masts for improved manoeuvrability.
