High Bay VNA Warehouse Pallet Racking With High Storage Density

High Bay VNA Warehouse Pallet Racking With High Storage Density

Brief views

Very Narrow Aisle Racking Systems are consisted of the same basic components as common type racking, however the access aisles widths are decreased for reach trucks. VNA racking can be used for picking at ground level with walkies, pallet trucks, and carts. The typically racking systems have an aisle width of 108″ – 132″, and are able to achieve greater rack heights of higher than 24 ft.

Details of VNA pallet racks

Advantages

1. Mostly, very narrow aisle racking systems are designed with high bay for fully vertical space utilizaiton.

2. The initial investment for VNA is relatively large with high quality steel and special VNA forklifts for material handling. 

3. The whole working difficulty has risen since forklifts have to work in narrower aisles dealing with higher bays.

4. The VNA aisle width is about 8’ to 10’, while aisle width of standard pallet racking systems is commonly ranged from 12’ to 14’. 

5. 100% selectivity and full accessibility just like conventional selective pallet racks since the basic configuration remains same.

6. Obeying First-in/First-out (FIFO) stock rotation, VNA system is suitable for fast turnover items.

7. VNA systems can function as the basic storage units for ASRS system and can also be compacted with other storage solutions in large distribution centers.

Major Components 

Upright frames

♦ two columns and several horizontal and diagonal bracings.

♦ powder-coated, galvanized or mixing of the two for surface treatment.

♦ several row-spacers are necessary for adjacent two frames to increase structural stability.

♦ expanded baseplates are optional for particular high rack structure or in seismic zone.

Beams

Beams for very narrow aisle pallet racking system are customized with different section sizes and load capacities meeting various storage requirements.

Guide rails

Guide rails are important safety accessory that differs from traditional pallet rack. The higher structure has blocked some of the field of vision from forklift operators so the installation of guide rails will facilitate the safe and efficient material handling.

Lacking enough space for commodities storage may become a block that may slow down your business growth. Creating extra space for more pallets, high density very narrow aisle pallet racks offer you an alternative that is more economical compared to building a new wareshouse.

At the same time, the warehouse workflow and productivity are preserved thanks to constantly updated VNA forklifts.  If you are not sure if VNA pallet racking is a right choice for your facility, you can always turn to Ironstone professional rack engineers for consultancy.
