Advantages of Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

Space optimization

One of the primary advantages of NAPR is its ability to maximize vertical space within a warehouse. By narrowing the aisles between racks, these systems allow for more aisles to be created, resulting in increased storage capacity. This is particularly beneficial for facilities with limited square footage, enabling them to store a larger volume of goods without expanding the physical footprint.

 

Increased storage density

Narrow Pallet Racking systems facilitate higher storage density compared to traditional racking systems. The reduced aisle width means that more pallet positions can be accommodated within the same floor space. This density is especially advantageous for storing a large number of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) in a single location, improving inventory management and accessibility.

 

Selective accessibility

While the aisles are narrower, NAPR systems often incorporate specialized forklifts, such as turret trucks or reach trucks. These forklifts are designed to navigate within narrow spaces efficiently. Despite the reduced aisle width, the selective accessibility feature allows for precise picking and retrieval of pallets. This results in faster and more accurate order fulfillment, enhancing overall warehouse productivity.

 

Improved stock rotation

Narrow Pallet Racking promotes efficient stock rotation due to its selective accessibility. With the ability to easily access specific pallets within the racks, warehouses can implement a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management system. This ensures that older stock is used before newer stock, reducing the risk of product obsolescence and minimizing waste.

 

Cost savings

The space-saving design of NAPR systems not only optimizes storage capacity but also contributes to cost savings. By making better use of available space, warehouses may avoid the need for costly expansions or additional facilities. Furthermore, the efficient use of space can lead to reduced energy consumption, as lighting, heating, and cooling requirements are proportionally lower in a well-organized, compact space.

 

 

Application of Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

 

01

Food and drink

Narrow aisle racking is ideal for food and drink bproducts, especially those that need refrigerated and frozen storage and it's also beneficial for managing perishable goods with varying shelf lives, facilitating efficient stock rotation and access.

02

3PL

Third party storage suppliers and logistics companies are industries that often store a large and diverse range of products that need to be accessible and narrow aisle racking offers an organised and efficient storage solution.

03

Heavy commercial

Within the heavy commercial sector where a vast array of parts and components of various sizes and shapes need storing but need to be ready for easy retrieval, narrow aisle racking can manage inventory effectively.

Narrow Aisle Implementation Best Practices

Conduct a thorough analysis of your storage needs

Start by analyzing your inventory, its turnover, and the types of material handling equipment you will need to move items within the racking system. This will help you determine the height of the racking, the aisle width, and the type of equipment needed.

 

Train personnel on safety and operating procedures

Train operators on operating the equipment safely, including navigating the narrow aisles and entering and exiting the racking system properly. Provide ongoing training to ensure that safety protocols are followed.

Ensure proper installation

Proper installation is critical to the safety and effectiveness of the system. Ensure the racks are built to the manufacturer’s specifications and anchored securely to the floor.

Select the right type of racking system

Choose the racking system that best suits your needs. Various racking systems are available (e.g., selective, double-deep, drive-in, push-back), each with benefits and limitations.

Regularly inspect the racking system

Regularly inspect the racking system to identify damage or wear and tear. Address any issues immediately to prevent accidents or system failure.

Implement appropriate safety features

Install safety protection on your racking system, like guard rails, end-of-aisle protectors, and anti-collision sensors, to minimise the risk of accidents.

FAQ

Q: What size is a narrow aisle pallet rracking system?

A: Narrow Aisle Pallet racking systems vary in size. It depends on the unique requirements of each warehouse format. They feature aisle widths ranging from 1.6 metres to 2.3 metres. This configuration increases pallet density while allowing VNA forklifts to operate efficiently within tighter spaces. The racking itself can be custom-engineered by Bowen to reach up to 30 metres in height, allowing businesses to make the most of their available storage volume.

Q: What is the difference between a narrow aisle and a very narrow aisle?

A: Narrow Aisle pallet racking needs at least 2.3 meters of space, while very narrow aisle (VNA) racking requires 1.6 meters or less. The main difference is the type of forklift used - VNA racking needs specialised turret trucks or guided forklifts to navigate the tighter space.

Q: What is a narrow aisle limit?

A: The narrow aisle limit is the smallest width a forklift needs to move safely. A standard Narrow Aisle Pallet racking system usually has a narrow aisle limit of around 1.6 metres to 2.3 metres, depending on the equipment used within the business. Businesses considering a VNA system need to ensure their equipment is designed to operate safely within the constraints of their racking.
