Narrow alleyway shelf operating principle:
The shelving system is primarily a beam shelving system, differing in that it features guide tracks for "three-way stacker forklifts" installed on the ground at the bottom of the shelves. The tracks are typically made of unequal angle steel. The forklifts limited to the use are "three-way stacker forklifts." These forklifts glide along the established tracks. The stacking aisles of the shelving system are slightly wider than the width of the pallet goods, enabling high-density storage. It also inherits all the advantages of the beam shelving system. All materials stored in the system are optional, allowing forklifts to store any pallet at any time. The fast storage efficiency and very high storage density bring significant production efficiency and cost-effectiveness to storage and logistics centers suitable for narrow-aisle shelving systems.
Narrow aisle shelving application range:
Consider narrow aisle shelving systems if your storage or logistics center exhibits the following characteristics:
Large inventory volume with frequent goods in and out, requiring high-pick accuracy.
2. Urgently need to increase storage space or require a certain level of storage capacity in the warehousing and logistics center.
3. Logistics efficiency is required to be at a high level.
4. The warehouse has a high usable net height, exceeding 8M.
5. Forklifts can be selected with independent warehouse forklifts; there is no plan to use warehouse forklifts for outdoor tasks.
Narrow alleyway shelf features:
The narrow aisle racking features a significantly narrower aisle compared to traditional beam racking, approximately 1600mm-2000mm wide, greatly enhancing warehouse space utilization. In today's soaring property prices, narrow aisle racking is favored by many corporate warehouses; this type of racking requires a specialized forklift—the three-way stacker—another of its distinctive features. Due to the narrow aisles, it demands skilled operators with proficient driving skills and careful, cautious work habits.
Next, after the narrow aisle shelving is installed, there is a guide rail approximately 200mm high (the guide rail can be prepared during the civil engineering work or made into a protective panel during the installation of the shelves) serving as the forklift guidance system, reducing the dangers caused by human factors to the shelves and requiring less from the forklift operator compared to drive-in aisles.
