Description

What is Very Narrow Aisle Racking System?

Very Narrow Aisle is a racking system designed with narrow aisles to optimize warehouse space in terms of height and increase storage density. It is a standard pallet racking system, but uses a specialized three-way stacker forklift. Guide rails are installed on the floor below the racks. This system keeps the forklift moving in a straight line, preventing collision with the racks. The forklift slides along the designated guide rails. The aisles are only slightly wider than the goods stacked on the pallet.

Outstanding Features of Narrow Aisle Shelving System

The shelves can reach a height of 17m, ensuring that goods are safely stored at this height. Therefore, the system is forced to use specialized forklifts with corresponding lifting capacity.

Aisles between shelves are narrowed to the maximum (only 1.5m - 1.8m). This helps to exploit and make full use of warehouse floor space for storing goods.

Using the maximum height of the warehouse to store goods, avoiding unnecessary waste of empty space.

Goods are operated according to the FIFO principle (First In First Out). This solution is suitable for large warehouses with a variety of items such as food, electronics, and construction materials.

Racking allows for complete control of pallet locations, eliminating confusion and loss during management.

The speed of import and export of goods is significantly improved. The ability of forklifts to access goods is absolute, convenient in the process of goods circulation.

Advantages of Narrow Aisle Shelving Systems

Suitable for small and medium sized warehouses that do not have much space but need to store large quantities of goods.

Load capacity from 500-2500Kg/pallet. VNA shelves have large load capacity so they are used in many different industries.

Make the most of ground and height space. Minimize floor space for aisles, increase usable area for shelf installation.

Provides high density storage, increasing capacity up to 50% with reduced aisles

Inherit all the advantages of the system Selective shelves, all materials stored in the racking system are optional 100%

Forklifts can store any pallet of goods at any time. Goods are managed and distributed into separate areas, with markings and instructions so that import and export of goods are done easily and quickly.

Flexible in installation, disassembly and expansion, suitable for warehouses with changing needs.

Compatible with AS/RS automated warehouse systems, easy to integrate automation.

Practical applications

Nowadays, narrow aisle shelving is used more and more widely in many different industries.

Narrow aisle racking is suitable for distribution centers that need to process orders frequently and accurately. With the ability to directly access each unit of goods without moving other pallets.
This system is ideal for storing goods that are heterogeneous in size and type.

For environments requiring high turnover rates, shelving helps shorten picking times while maintaining warehouse order.

This is a suitable solution for warehouses with limited space but need to store many pallets.
