Engineered to comply with European FEM guidelines, maximizing storage space up to 18 meters high in key distribution centers across Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia.
How our Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) system enhances volumetric capacity while adhering to rigorous safety regulations in the Iberian Peninsula.
Traditional warehousing systems utilize wide corridors to facilitate conventional forklifts, occupying up to 60% of the horizontal floor plan solely for transit. In contrast, Nanjing Ciho's VNA Racking Systems compress aisle widths down to a mere 1.5 to 1.8 meters, redirecting recovered floor space directly to high-capacity storage racks.
This physical optimization allows logistics operators in industrial clusters like Zaragoza (PLAZA) and Guadalajara to elevate their storage volume by up to 50% without extending the footprint of their existing warehouse facility. Combined with heights reaching up to 18 meters, VNA racking represents the peak of high-density steel frame design.
Engineered to meet European standards, ensuring load calculations, horizontal/vertical deflections, and structural stability satisfy local workplace safety inspectors in Spain.
We supply precision guide rails and support floor specifications to guarantee safe truck movement inside aisles at extreme vertical heights.
Tailored structural engineering for facilities in active seismic zones like Granada, Murcia, and Alicante, incorporating specific baseplates and frame bracing.
The Spanish logistics market is undergoing a structural transition. Driven by rapid growth in e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL) expansion, and cold chain distribution centers near main ports (Valencia, Barcelona, Algeciras), land prices in industrial hubs have soared. In areas like Madrid's Corredor del Henares and Barcelona's Baix Llobregat, acquiring additional footprint for storage is economically prohibitive.
As a result, leading Spanish exporters, retailers, and industrial operators are pivoting towards high-bay storage. Utilizing Nanjing Ciho's VNA Racking Systems, companies are able to construct space-efficient facilities that scale vertically instead of horizontally. Furthermore, Spain's strategic position as the gateway between Europe, Latin America, and North Africa calls for robust, reliable logistics networks. Our VNA racking systems provide the rapid accessibility required by high-velocity supply chains while maintaining strict safety profiles.
Our solutions integrate seamlessly with modern European warehouse management technologies. Whether you run man-up turret trucks, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), or heavy-duty wire-guided forklifts, our steel structures deliver the stability and precise alignment necessary to prevent warehouse collisions and pallet damage.

We use certified Q235B and Q355B structural steel from top Chinese mills, offering superior structural capacity and resistance to deformation under load.
Equipped with automatic continuous roll-forming lines, advanced robotic welding stations, and premium electrostatic powder coating systems.
Full project engineering capability including static load calculation, layout planning, 3D CAD modeling, and seismic structural analysis.
Every rack components is monitored throughout production to guarantee zero structural defect and ensure prolonged performance in harsh logistics environments.
The future of material handling systems lies in automated precision. While classical VNA structures require highly skilled drivers operating specialized turret trucks, global logistics paradigms are rapidly moving toward automated VNA platforms. The integration of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) inside very narrow aisles completely eliminates human handling errors, speeds up duty cycles, and reduces energy consumption by operating in "dark" (unlit) warehouse settings.
Smart strain-gauge sensors embedded directly in warehouse upright frames to monitor seismic vibrations and impact stresses, conveying telemetry data directly to the WMS.
As VNA racking transitions to fully automated AS/RS stacker crane platforms, structural fabrication tolerances are measured in millimeters to avoid guide rail friction and potential stacker crane blockages.
