VNA Racking Systems
(VNA Racking Systems)
Aisles are much narrower than with conventional pallet racking, and specialised trucks run in guided aisles – more pallet positions with direct access to every pallet.
- Narrow aisles, more pallet positions
- Direct access to every pallet
- For high-bay warehouses
Technical specifications
Load capacity and dimensions are determined by the project for your building and stated in the quotation.
| System type | Very narrow aisle (VNA) pallet racking |
|---|---|
| Structure | Pallet racking frames and beams for greater heights |
| Truck guidance | Mechanical (rail) or inductive guidance in the aisle |
| Handling | VNA trucks with turret or three-way heads |
| Flooring | Higher floor flatness requirements |
| Accessories | Guide rails, protection, load signs, safety systems |
| Load capacity and dimensions | Determined by the project |
Benefits
Better use of space
Narrower aisles and greater height – more pallet positions.
Selectivity
Every pallet is directly accessible.
Height
Suited to high-bay warehouses.
Precision
Truck guidance reduces the risk of rack damage.
WMS-ready
Well suited to warehouse management software.
Combinations
Mezzanine or picking at lower levels is possible.
Applications
- Distribution centres
- High-bay warehouses
- Logistics providers
- Spare parts
- Production warehouses
- Retail chains
How it works
- LayoutRacking is installed with very narrow, guided aisles.
- OperationThe VNA truck enters the aisle and places or picks pallets on both sides.
- OrganisationLocations are managed by WMS, while other trucks bring goods to the aisle ends.

Frequently asked questions
How much space does VNA save?
It depends on the building and trucks – narrower aisles and greater height give more pallet positions. The project gives the exact capacity.
What floor is required?
VNA requires a flatter floor than conventional warehouses; the floor is checked before design.
Can existing forklifts be used?
VNA aisles are served by specialised trucks; standard forklifts bring goods to the aisle ends.
What information do you need for a quotation?
For a quotation please send: floor plan and clear height, pallet dimensions and weight, number of pallet positions, floor flatness data (if available), the VNA truck type (existing or planned) and guidance method, and the number of pallet movements per hour.
