- Reduces traffic aisle
- Maintains the selectivity of a single-deep rack
- Requires the use of a special forklift
- “First in, first out” concept
- Large number of SKUs
Very narrow aisle racking, or VNA racking, increases storage capacity by reducing the width of circulation aisles by up to 40%. The use of a special forklift is required to take advantage of this system.
What are the advantages of pallet racking for very narrow aisles?
Maximizes storage space
By reducing the width of the circulation aisles by up to 40%, it is possible to install more racking bays in the same storage space or reduce the storage space required.
High selectivity
A very narrow aisle racking, or VNA racking, maintains the high selectivity advantage of standard single deep racking. Because it offers a lot of pick faces, the very narrow aisle racking, or VNA racking, is ideal for situations with a large number of SKUs.
Ideal for manual order taking or with order pickers
A very narrow aisle racking, or VNA racking system, is ideal for taking orders manually or with an “order picker” type forklift. In this situation, the picking rate is improved and vertical space is better utilized.
What are the constraints of pallet racking for very narrow aisles?
A very narrow aisle racking, or VNA racking system, necessarily requires a suitable forklift. Depending on your operations and the type of products you handle, turret type forklifts or order pickers will be required.
