Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking System

Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking System

Details
The Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Pallet Racking System is a high-density warehouse storage solution designed to maximize storage capacity while maintaining direct access to every pallet location.
It is based on a beam rack structure and is limited by adding ground rails (usually made of angle steel or protective plates) to limit the driving range of the turret trucks, reducing the aisle width to 1600-2000mm-only slightly larger than the pallet size.This enables high-density storage while maintaining 100% pallet accessibility and fast retrieval efficiency.

Product Introduction

Compared with conventional selective pallet racking, VNA systems can increase storage capacity by 30%–50% while maintaining 100% pallet accessibility.This system is suitable for warehouses with high inventory turnover, large storage capacity requirements, and sufficient clear height-typically recommended at over 8 meters, with a maximum design height of up to 15 meters.

The system operates with turret trucks or rail-guided forklifts specifically designed for narrow aisle applications, ensuring safe and efficient pallet handling at heights up to 15 meters.Turret truck is a specialized equipment that demand a high level of operator skill, and driver must undergo professional training before being qualified to operate them.

FAQ

Q1: What is VNA racking?

VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) racking is a high-density pallet racking system designed for warehouses with limited floor space. By reducing aisle width compared with conventional pallet racking, VNA racking makes better use of available warehouse space while maintaining direct access to individual pallets.

Q2: What forklift is used for VNA racking?

VNA racking is typically operated with specialized narrow aisle equipment, such as turret trucks or VNA forklifts. These forklifts are designed to operate in narrow aisles and can rotate or position the forks to access pallets on both sides of the rack.

Q3: How much additional storage capacity can VNA racking provide?

By reducing aisle width, VNA racking allows more pallet positions to be installed within the same warehouse footprint. The actual increase in storage capacity depends on the warehouse layout, rack height, aisle width and handling equipment.

Q4: What warehouse height is recommended?

VNA racking is particularly suitable for warehouses with sufficient vertical clearance. A warehouse height of 8 meters or more is generally recommended, although the optimal rack height depends on the building structure, pallet specifications, forklift reach height and local safety requirements.

Q5: Is VNA suitable for cold storage?

Yes. VNA racking can be used in cold storage and temperature-controlled warehouses. Its high storage density helps maximize expensive refrigerated space. For low-temperature applications, the racking structure, surface treatment, forklift specifications and components should be selected according to the actual operating temperature and environmental conditions.

Q6: How much space can VNA Pallet Racking save?

VNA pallet racking can significantly improve warehouse space utilization compared with conventional selective pallet racking by reducing aisle widths and making better use of vertical space. The actual space savings depend on warehouse dimensions, rack height, pallet size, aisle width, forklift specifications, and storage configuration.

Q7: How high can VNA Pallet Racking be installed?

VNA pallet racking can be designed for high-bay applications, with the maximum rack height depending on warehouse clear height, forklift lifting capacity, pallet load, building structure, rack configuration, and local safety requirements. The system can be customized to make efficient use of available vertical space.
