Palletised Storage: High Rack Narrow Aisle Racking

High Rack Narrow Aisle Racking makes optimum use of floor area and roof height while at the same time providing high density storage with 100% accessibility and good stock rotation. The system is served by specialised high lift fork rotating materials handling devices operating in very narrow aisles. The benefit being up to 50% saving in aisle width when compared to a counter balance forklift, whilst achieving up to double the stacking height.

As the fork lift is guided within the aisles, the risk of damage is minimised, resulting in lower maintenance. Very flat floors, close tolerance racking, carefully located pallets of uniform size and stock location systems are all prerequisites for successful narrow aisle systems. Floor guidance in the aisles is mandatory and the design interface between all aspects of their systems is needed. Truck lift height of 14 metres with man up capability is available.

The advantages of High Rack Narrow Aisle Racking are:

• Floor mounted free roaming trucks as flexible in multi aisles;
• High speed throughput with specialised equipment;
• Controlled materials handling provides safe and damage-free environment;
• Fire suppression; and
• High average locations used of 95%, 100% accessibility, good stock rotation and 50% floor utilisation with high cube available.
