Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

1. Increased Storage Density

One of the primary advantages of narrow aisle pallet racking is its ability to maximise storage density. By utilising narrower aisles and optimising vertical space, it allows for more efficient utilisation of available floor space, resulting in a higher storage capacity compared to wide aisle racking.

2. Improved Space Utilisation

The compact design and up to 50% reduced aisle width compared with wide aisle pallet racking solutions enables warehouses to make the most of their available space. By reducing aisle width, more racking units can be installed, allowing for better space optimisation and potentially increasing storage capacity by up to 40%.

3. Enhanced Efficiency

The compact design and use of narrow aisle forklift truck guided by rails or wire systems contribute to improved operational efficiency. The specialised handling equipment can navigate more precisely and efficiently, reducing travel times between racks and increasing productivity.

4. Accessibility

Despite the narrower aisles, narrow aisle pallet racking still allows direct access to each pallet. Specialized handling equipment, such as turret trucks or VNA forklifts, can manoeuvre within the aisles to retrieve or store pallets, ensuring easy accessibility and efficient order picking.

5. Cost Savings

While initial investment costs for narrow aisle racking and specialized handling equipment may be higher than wide aisle systems, the increased storage density and improved operational efficiency can result in long-term cost savings. The optimised use of space can reduce the need for additional warehouse expansion or relocation expenses. The precision of the narrow aisle forklift truck rails or wire systems also mitigates risk of damage to your racking reducing the cost of maintenance and repairs.
