Very Narrow Aisle Racking (VNA)
Narrow Aisle (VNA) racking systems are designed to maximize warehouse storage capacity by minimizing aisle width and maximizing vertical space utilization. These systems are ideal for warehouses where space efficiency is crucial and selective access to each pallet is required.
Key Features of Narrow Aisle Racking:
- Space Efficiency: By reducing aisle width compared to traditional wide aisle racking, VNA systems optimize floor space, allowing for more storage capacity within the same footprint.
- Increased Height: VNA racking systems utilize taller uprights and specialized handling equipment, such as turret trucks or man-up trucks, to access goods stored at greater heights.
- Selective Pallet Access: Each pallet location can be accessed individually, ensuring efficient stock picking and retrieval operations.
- High Density Storage: With narrow aisles and high-rise storage capabilities, VNA racking systems accommodate a large number of pallets while maintaining accessibility.
Types of Narrow Aisle Racking Systems:
- Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking: Typically involves aisles narrower than conventional narrow aisle racking, often requiring specialized handling equipment for efficient operation.
- Wide Aisle Racking: Provides broader aisles compared to VNA systems, suitable for applications where both high-density storage and manual access are needed.
Advantages of Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking:
- Maximized Storage: Efficient use of vertical space allows for increased storage capacity without expanding the warehouse footprint.
- Improved Efficiency: Streamlined picking processes reduce travel time and enhance inventory management.
- Flexibility: Compatible with various pallet sizes and configurations, adapting to diverse storage requirements.
