Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

Narrow Aisle Pallet racking is a purpose-built system that maximises warehouse storage capacity by optimising both floor space and vertical height. By reducing aisle widths to as narrow as 1.6 metres, businesses can increase their storage density by up to 50% without having to expand their existing premises. This high-density racking system provides comprehensive stock access and ensures 100% stock rotation, making it ideal for warehouses with high inventory turnover, such as those used in retail, e-commerce and manufacturing.

Narrow Aisle Pallet racking is specifically designed to work with turret trucks and articulated Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) forklifts, allowing for smooth and efficient stock retrieval at heights of up to 30 metres. Built with reinforced steel construction, this system integrates essential safety features, including heavy-duty bracing, racking end protection, and front and rear upright protectors. To enhance stability and guide forklift movement, optional guide rails or electronic assistance systems can also be added to Bowen Narrow Aisle racking systems.

Bowen provides tailored narrow aisle racking system solutions that meet Australian standards (AS4084-2023), designed to improve warehouse efficiency and space utilisation. With customisable upright widths, depths, and thicknesses, at Bowen we configure each installation to align with your specific operational needs.

The Key Benefits of Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

Narrow Aisle Pallet racking systems significantly increase the storage capacity of warehouses, while enabling direct access to each pallet for the best possible stock rotation. Narrow Aisle Pallet racking is ideal for businesses with fast-moving inventory, where maximising storage density without compromising accessibility to stock is a key operational priority. These high-rise storage racks need specialised handling equipment, like forklift trucks, to function within the reduced operational spaces to load and unload racks.

FAQs

Narrow Aisle Pallet racking systems vary in size. It depends on the unique requirements of each warehouse format. They feature aisle widths ranging from 1.6 metres to 2.3 metres. This configuration increases pallet density while allowing VNA forklifts to operate efficiently within tighter spaces. The racking itself can be custom-engineered by Bowen to reach up to 30 metres in height, allowing businesses to make the most of their available storage volume.

Narrow Aisle pallet racking needs at least 2.3 meters of space, while very narrow aisle (VNA) racking requires 1.6 meters or less. The main difference is the type of forklift used - VNA racking needs specialised turret trucks or guided forklifts to navigate the tighter space.

The narrow aisle limit is the smallest width a forklift needs to move safely. A standard Narrow Aisle Pallet racking system usually has a narrow aisle limit of around 1.6 metres to 2.3 metres, depending on the equipment used within the business. Businesses considering a VNA system need to ensure their equipment is designed to operate safely within the constraints of their racking.
