Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking
What is (Very) Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking?
Typically installations tend to be higher to maximise all available cubic space. Pallets are accessed by specialist trucks which can be guided by low or high profile floor-mounted rails or electrical wire guidance in the floor. The full range is manufactured in the UK at our purpose-built factory in Cannock, Staffordshire.
This configuration offers an extremely efficient storage solution which greatly reduces the risks of accidental damage to stock due to the specialist operating equipment required.

(Very) Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking is essentially engineered from the same basic components as Conventional Pallet Racking, but with runs of racking positioned closer together, eliminating wasted aisle space that can otherwise be utilised for additional pallet storage, making it the ideal warehouse solution for companies that wish to maximise their storage efficiency.
Maintain Compliance & Safety
For efficient operation of this style of racking system, we recommend using specialised handling equipment like turret trucks or articulated forklifts, which are designed for precise navigation in tight spaces.
This system is ideal for industries where space is limited, and efficient stock management is essential. Whether you run a retail distribution centre, a logistics hub, or a manufacturing facility, our (very) narrow aisle racking systems optimise storage space while ensuring quick and easy access to your inventory.
