Product Description

VNA racking system is called very narrow aisle racking. Compared with pallet racks, the width of the aisle is much narrower and requires three-way forklift operations. This racks greatly increase the utilization of warehouse space. The width of the VNA racking aisle (usually 1600-2000mm) is much narrower than that of the regular pallet racking system, which makes better use of storage space by 20%.

Application:

A warehouse with low variety of high-volume items, more frequent entry and exit of goods, warehouse with higher picking requirements.

Product Parameters

VNA pallet racking systems are designed to meet the new generation of warehouses up to 17 meters high, designed around the operating tolerances of Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) equipment with aisles marginally wider than the load. Such structures must have a high level of rigidity and accurate manufacturing tolerance.

VNA aisles are much narrower than aisles of ordinary pallet racking with the width approx. 1600mm-2000mm, which largely improved space efficiency. VNA requires skilled drivers of special forklift rotating trucks to be more careful.

Guide rails for VNA are approx. 200mm high, which can be set during civil work or during racking installation with protect plate. With guidance of the rail, accident risks can be reduced and the requirement of driving skills is also lower than drive-in pallet racking.

Fire suppression and seismic need to be considered. Hard wearing and very flat floor designed for heavy static / live loads are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is a VNA racking system?

VNA stands for Very Narrow Aisle racking. It is a system designed where the aisle width is significantly narrower (usually 1600-2000mm) compared to standard pallet racks. This system requires three-way forklift operations to load and retrieve items.

Q How does a VNA racking system improve warehouse utilization?

By narrowing the aisles down to 1600-2000mm, the VNA system reduces wasted aisle space and allows for denser storage layouts, improving overall warehouse space efficiency by up to 20% compared to traditional pallet racking.

Q What is the maximum height suitability for VNA pallet racking?

VNA pallet racking systems are engineered to accommodate high-bay warehouses, making them suitable for next-generation facilities with heights reaching up to 17 meters.

Q What purpose do the guide rails serve in VNA racking?

The guide rails (typically 200mm high) assist forklift operators in navigating the narrow aisles safely. They reduce the risk of accidental collision with the racks and lower the level of manual driving precision required compared to drive-in systems.

Q What infrastructural factors must be considered during installation?

Successful installation requires very flat, hard-wearing floors designed to handle heavy static and live loads. Additionally, fire suppression systems, seismic activities, structural rigidity, and accurate manufacturing tolerances must be thoroughly considered.

Q What are the main application scenarios for VNA systems?

They are ideal for warehouses that handle a low variety of high-volume items, require frequent entry and exit of goods, and demand higher picking efficiency.
