VNA Racking System - Vinatech Group

VNA racking (Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking) also known as a rack with a very narrow aisle. This is a combination of Selective rack that optimizes the narrowest possible aisles. The point of note of this type of racking is that a special forklift must be used, which has a higher cost than today’s standard forklifts.

What is VNA Racking?

VNA Racking, short for Very Narrow Aisle Racking, is a high-density warehouse storage system designed with extremely narrow aisles to optimize vertical space and maximize pallet storage capacity.

It is an advanced version of the traditional Selective Pallet Racking, tailored for warehouses that need both high selectivity and efficient space utilization.

While a standard Selective Racking system typically requires aisles of 3 meters or more for forklifts to operate, VNA racks reduce the aisle width to just 1.5 – 1.8 meters.

This design can free up 40–50% of floor space that would otherwise be used for aisles, converting it into valuable storage capacity.

To ensure safe and precise forklift movement within these narrow aisles, VNA systems often integrate guide rails on the floor or wire guidance systems that keep the forklift aligned and prevent collisions with racks.

VNA pallet racking is widely used in logistics centers, cold storage warehouses, food & beverage facilities, and industrial warehouses that require quick and accurate pallet retrieval while optimizing vertical storage.

Comparison: VNA Racking vs Selective Racking

Criteria	VNA Racking	Selective Racking
Aisle width	Extremely narrow (1.5 – 1.8 m)	Wider (3 m or more)
Space utilization	Maximizes floor and vertical space	Good, but less efficient
Initial investment	Higher (requires special forklifts & guide systems)	Lower
Pallet accessibility	100% individual access	100% individual access
Height range	Up to 12 – 17 m	Typically 3 – 10 m
Suitable for	High-bay warehouses, large inventories	General-purpose warehouses
Equipment required	Special turret or trilateral forklifts	Standard forklifts
Operation speed	Moderate (narrow aisles require precision)	Faster
Installation complexity	More complex	Easier and faster

Applications of VNA Pallet Racking

VNA racking is ideal for operations that need maximum storage density without sacrificing direct pallet access.
Typical applications include:

High-turnover warehouses that require continuous inbound and outbound movement.
Distribution centers managing multiple SKUs and varying product sizes.
Industries requiring precise inventory rotation (FIFO/LIFO systems).
Facilities with limited floor space but high ceilings, where vertical capacity can be fully utilized.

Applications of VNA pallet racking system

Using the Narrow Aisle racking storage system, you can completely integrate the automatic picking system (ASRS), which is a highly appreciated form of picking today in the world, which can increase efficiency. goods storage. With warehouses with a narrow area, high rent, it is necessary to design a racking system for goods with narrow aisles, to increase the efficiency of palletizing. The ASRS system can help you quickly access the pallets, making it easier to import and export.

Forklifts used for racking Narrow Aisle VNA must be specialized forklifts, and can operate in and out of narrow aisles easily. With the requirement that the forklift truck can import and export goods at any location in the storage warehouse. The selection of forklifts needs to be synchronized with the Narrow Aisle racking system right from the time of design and production. On the market today you can order a forklift separately, there are some types of vehicles that can lift up to a height of 30m.

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) racking is used quite rarely in Vietnam today, due to the high cost of investing in racks, forklifts, and passenger systems. Instead, businesses often choose conventional industrial racks to save costs. This line of racks saves more space than Selective racks, but in Vietnam today the cost of space is quite low, in addition, the warehouse workers do not have the skills to operate this rack line.

VNA racks of Vinatech Group are manufactured under modern technological lines, beautiful and quality products. Not only have warehouse racks, Vinatech is also confident to be the number 1 brand in the field of manufacturing equipment for store racks, supermarket racks… across the country today.
