Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking

Narrow aisle pallet racking systems have an aisle width of around 1.6 metres. This can free up to 45% of the floor space given over to aisles in a wide aisle scheme.

Narrow aisle forklift trucks must be used within the system, but the net result is a dramatic increase in space utilisation.

Because narrow aisle trucks are specialist machines they lift higher and work faster than general purpose lift trucks. They do not turn in the aisles, but do need guidance. Therefore, a guide rail or wire guidance system must be fitted. Wire guidance has the advantage of being embedded in the floor which keeps the floor clear of obstructions and easier to clean.

Each pallet is supported within a narrow aisle pallet racking scheme, which means that stock rotation and accessibility are as good as a wide aisle system.
