Wide Aisle

Wide aisle racking is the most commonly used method for storing palletised loads. The width of the aisle can be separated based on the users’ existing fleet of forklifts. The aisles can be single or double sided depending on the users need.

Narrow Aisle

Similar to the wide aisle racking system, Narrow aisle racking used the same basic components. The differences are that the space between each rack is now packed closer so that space will be utilised fully. Second, pallets can also be stacked higher to maximise on the space available. Lastly, the use of Narrow aisle would require specialised trucks which will be guided in the aisles using wire in the floor or floor mounted guide rail.

Very Narrow Aisle

This method is the most efficient way in terms of space utilisation. This is so as aisle widths are kept to a minimum in order to achieve the efficiency. With the help of the crane, it is able to store pallets to heights up to 30 metres.
