What is very narrow aisle pallet racking?
What is very narrow aisle pallet racking?
Very narrow aisle (VNA) pallet racking narrows the aisles between racks so more pallet positions fit in the same floor area. The trucks are specialist turret or articulated types rather than standard counterbalance or reach trucks, and the aisles are often wire or rail guided. Narrow aisle racking sits in between, with wider aisles than VNA but narrower than a conventional layout.
Every pallet stays directly accessible, which is the main difference from drive in or push back racking. Because the trucks have little clearance, the racking has to be installed to tighter tolerances and the floor has to be in good condition.
VNA suits sites that cannot extend the building but have ceiling height to use. It is commonly specified where a warehouse or factory needs more pallet positions without taking on more floor space.
Used very narrow aisle racking from Pallet Racking Systems
We supply used very narrow aisle pallet racking from Willenhall. Buying used can lower the cost of a VNA layout compared with buying new. Condition varies from one used bay to the next, so we send photos of the racking you are interested in before you place your order. You can see what you are buying and check it is suitable for your warehouse or storage facility before you commit.
You pay on completion, with nothing to pay upfront, and card payments are accepted on all purchases. Free on site surveys are available, and you can request a quote using the form below.
Planning a very narrow aisle layout
Start with the truck, because its specification sets the minimum aisle width and the racking is laid out around it. Then check:
- The pallet size and weight you need to store
- Floor flatness and condition, using the truck manufacturer’s requirements
- Whether the aisles will be wire or rail guided
- Usable height, allowing for sprinklers and lighting
- Aisle end and upright protection, see pallet racking protection
For general guidance on aisle widths and clearances, see how much space you need between pallet racks.
Is very narrow aisle racking right for you?
VNA needs a specialist truck, so it is a poor fit if you run counterbalance or reach trucks. A conventional layout of adjustable pallet racking may suit better. If you do not need direct access to every pallet, push back or drive in racking store more in the same space.
Installation is available through our racking installation service. To request a quote, include your aisle width, rack height and the truck you run. We also buy used narrow aisle pallet racking, so you can calculate your racking’s value.
