The narrow aisle racks is a special storage mode derived from the beam racks. The warehouse rack structure is similar to the beam racks, and only need to install the the ground guide rail. The narrow aisle racks adopts a very narrow aisle forklift to deposit the pallet in the aisle. The fork of VNA Forklift is equipped with three-way rotation function, which can go straight in the channel quickly. When depositing the pallet, the forklift does not need to turn, but only needs the fork to rotate. Therefore, the reserved channel of forklift is generally about 1600-2000mm. The utilization rate of warehouse can reach about 50%. With 100% picking rate, it is an ideal choice for pursuing FIFO and high capacity.

VNA forklift is widely used in Automobile and parts, third-party logistics, manufacturing, food and beverage, chemical industry, electronics industries etc;

Advantages and disadvantages of narrow aisle racks.

Advantages:

1. The main body of the narrow aisle racks is still the beam rack system, so it can be 100% picked.

2. Compared with ordinary beam racks, the difference is equipped with a "three-way stacking forklift". The pickup aisle of the forklift is relatively narrow, generally about 1.6-2m, which can save the plane space utilization of the warehouse. The height of VNA racks can reach 15m, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of height space, with a space utilization rate of about 50% ~ 60%.

3. The fork of VNAforklift has the functions of three-way rotation and side movement. Therefore, the forklift does not need to turn at right angles when taking pallet goods in the channel. It is used with Counterbalance forklift outside the aisle, which has high efficiency of accessing goods.

Disadvantages:

1.VNA Forklifts are expensive, mainly imported brands.

2.All racks need to be equipped with safety guard rails or electromagnetic rails on the ground.

3.VNA forklift requires high ground flatness.

4.Higher requirements for land subsidence.

Very narrow aisle racks selection characteristics :

Reack truck + narrow aisle racks VNA + very narrow aisle racks

• ordinary beam racks,5 floor pallets ordinary beam racks,5 floor pallets
• aisle width 3 meters aisle width 3 meters
  
• 1.4 pallet positions per square meter 1.8 pallet positions per square meter So With the same net height inside the warehouse, the storage capacity of very narrow aisle racks is increased by 33% (theoretical value);
• VNA forklift picking mode is more flexible and manual operation efficiency is high.
