Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

Maximising Warehouse Space in the UK

OR

Narrow aisle pallet racking is a high-density storage solution that revolutionises warehouse space utilisation. By significantly reducing aisle widths, this system allows for a greater number of pallet locations within the same footprint compared to traditional wide aisle racking.

Choosing the Right Narrow Aisle Solution for Your UK Warehouse

Selecting the most suitable narrow aisle racking system involves careful consideration of:

Warehouse Layout and Dimensions

Assess your available space and determine the feasibility of implementing narrow aisles.

Inventory Characteristics

Analyse the size, weight and handling requirements of your products.

Material Handling Equipment

Ensure compatibility with your existing forklifts and other equipment.

Budget Constraints

Consider the initial investment and ongoing operational costs associated with narrow aisle systems.

Safety Considerations

Ensure compliance with all relevant UK health and safety regulations.

Applications in the UK

Narrow aisle racking is widely used across various industries in the UK, including:

Manufacturing

Storing raw materials, components, and finished goods.

Distribution

Handling and storing a diverse range of products for efficient order fulfilment.

Retail

Managing inventory for both online and offline sales channels.

E-commerce

Facilitating fast order picking and dispatch for online orders.

Cold Storage

Storing temperature-sensitive goods in a space-efficient manner.

Key Features and Benefits:

High Storage Capacity

Maximise your warehouse space and store more inventory in the same area.

Improved Space Utilisation

Reduce aisle space, freeing up valuable floor area for other purposes.

Enhanced Order Picking

Improve order picking accuracy and speed with optimised picking paths.

Increased Productivity

Narrow aisle forklifts and other specialised equipment enable efficient and rapid order fulfilment.

Cost-Effectiveness

Reduce the overall cost of warehousing by minimising space requirements and increasing storage capacity.

Forklift Truck Types

Articulated Forklifts

(Flexi / Bendi / Aisle-Master)

These are free ranging hybrid trucks capable of working in a yard as well as narrow aisles – these do not need to be wire guided or guide-railed.

VNA (Very Narrow Aisle ) Forklift Trucks

Work in extremely narrow aisles with specialised VNA forklifts that operate using either an electrically charged wire-guided path or steel fixed guiderails. These types of trucks can be ‘man-riser’ trucks that elevate the driver to the pallet level or operated from ground level.
