FIFO High-Density Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking System for Industrial Storage

Very narrow aisle pallet racking system is a condensed version of selective pallet racking system. 100% selectivity is reserved while storage density is increased. As its name implies, space utilization rate is raised by decreasing the occupied space of aisles. Thus, a specialized forklift suitable for narrow aisles is essential in this system. Very narrow aisle pallet racking system is designed for extremely high warehouses.

For these warehouses, floor space is small, while vertical space is large. In order to make good use of the limited space, aisles for forklifts are narrowed and racks are heightened. Hence, a specialized forklift is needed for the system. It fits for tall warehouses with high storage density.

Features of very narrow aisle pallet racking system:

• 100% selectivity, all pallets are accessible;

• First in, first out handing method;

• High-density storage, the width of aisles is lessened for more storage space;

• High bay pallet racking system, the system is usually built-in high warehouse to make full use of the vertical space;

• Cost more than selective racking system because it needs a specialized forklift which is expensive;

• Desirable for storing bulk reserve but low-throughput products;

Material handling equipment: trilateral turret truck.

Maintenance: The demand for maintenance is simple. Except for routine checks for damaged parts, it is extremely critical to ensure the stability of the system in that it’s much higher than many other systems.

Not having enough floor space can lead to your warehouse being stuffed with homeless pallets placed wherever they may fit, however, a solution can be found within the height of the warehouse. Unused vertical areas in your warehouse can become viable by converting them into safe and secure storage for your pallets. Making full use of the spacious headroom of your warehouse, while reducing the width of aisles, can greatly increase your racking storage density.

In very narrow aisle pallet racking systems, pallet racking is placed more tightly than other pallet racking solutions as they are loaded and unloaded using side loading forklifts; allowing for narrower aisles and efficient use of storage space. The amount of product stored and the warehouse footprint are the greatest. the VNA aisles are typically 6.6 feet wide, providing 44% more floor space than the optional pallet racking system.
