NARROW AISLE PALLET STORAGE

By allowing fork trucks to operate in aisle up to half the width required in conventional adjustable beam pallet racking, Narrow Aisle racking makes excellent use of floor space and maximises the height at which goods can be stacked. The pallets are accessed via specialist trucks, which are guided in the very narrow aisles by either low or high profile floor mounted rails or electronic wire guidance in the floor. As storage locations can be only accessed using specialized equipment, the security of valuable products is improved. Besides that, the sophisticated handling equipment improves the safety of load handling within the racking system.

Advances in fork lift trucks that can operate in aisles less than five feet wide have made possible the utilization of very narrow aisle (VNA) storage racks.

Narrow aisle installations require Pick-up and Deposit (P&D) stations to facilitate the safe and efficient handling of products into and out of the Very Narrow Aisle system.
