Narrow Aisle Rack Operation Principle:
The shelving system is primarily a beam shelf system, differing in that it features guide tracks installed on the ground at the bottom for "three-way stacker forklifts." The tracks are typically made of unequal angle steel. The material handling forklift is limited to the "three-way stacker forklift." The three-way stacker forklift glides along the designated tracks. The stacking aisle width of the shelving system is slightly wider than the width of the pallet goods, enabling high-density storage. It also inherits all the advantages of the beam shelf system, allowing all materials stored in the system to be optional. Forklifts can store any pallet at any time. With fast storage efficiency and very high storage density, it brings significant productivity and cost benefits to storage and logistics centers that are suitable for narrow-aisle shelving systems.
Narrow Aisle Racking Application Range:
Consider narrow aisle shelving systems if the storage or logistics center exhibits the following characteristics:
Large volume of stored goods, with frequent in and out operations and high selection requirements for the goods.
2. Urgently need to increase storage space or require a certain storage capacity in the warehouse and logistics center.
3. Logistics efficiency is required at a high level.
4. The warehouse has a high net height available, over 8M.
5. Forklifts can be selected with independent warehouse forklifts; there is no plan to use warehouse forklifts for outdoor tasks.
Narrow aisle shelving features:
The narrow-aisle racking features significantly narrower aisles compared to standard beam racking, approximately 1600mm-2000mm wide, greatly enhancing warehouse space utilization. In today's soaring real estate prices, narrow-aisle racks are favored by many corporate warehouses. This type of rack requires a specialized forklift—triple-stack forklift—another of its unique characteristics. Due to the narrow aisles, it demands skilled operators with proficient driving techniques and careful, cautious work habits.
Next, after the narrow aisle racking is installed, there is a guide rail approximately 200mm high (the guide rail can be prepared during the civil engineering or used as a protective panel during the installation of the rack) serving as a forklift guidance system. This reduces the danger caused by human factors to the racks, making the requirements for the forklift driver lower compared to drive-in racks.
