Narrow Aisle Racking is a storage system which allow a
greater capacity for storage by minimizing Isle widths and Maximizing Roof
Height while still allowing access to individual pallets.
It is made up from the
same components as selective racking, but with runs placed closer
together, reducing the wasted space of a wide aisle.
Pallets are accessed with
specialised trucks, which are guided into aisles by floor mounted guide
rails - not much wider than the load itself.
Narrow Aisle Racking has
a variety of uses, it is often used for non-palletised items that need to
be manually retrieved, such as archive boxes, furniture or other goods
that need individual picking.
By allowing fork trucks
to operate in aisles up to half the width required in conventional
adjustable pallet racking, Narrow Aisle pallet racking makes excellent use
of floor space.
It also maximises the
height at which goods can be stacked.
It is designed for safe
and efficient handling within the tight confines of these narrow aisles.
Guide rails fitted at
floor level ensure precise positioning of trucks.
This has the multiple
benefit of improving safety, whilst minimising the incidence of accidental
damage to racking as well as improving the speed and accuracy of load
handling.
