Narrow Aisle Racking
When floor space is at a premium, narrow aisle pallet racking systems allow you to improve storage density. By reducing aisle width throughout the storage layout, we can help you install more pallet positions in the same square space as a standard pallet racking system.
Narrow aisle storage solutions are ideal for retail stores, e-commerce, and any business managing a high volume of SKUs. Enhanced storage allows you to keep up with changing inventory needs.
What is Narrow Aisle Racking?
Narrow aisle racking is a type of warehouse storage system designed to maximise space utilisation by reducing the width of aisles between racks. This configuration allows forklifts to operate in narrower aisles compared to traditional warehouse layouts, optimising the use of available floor space.
Narrow aisle racking systems typically use special narrow aisle fork trucks that can navigate through these tight spaces with precision. This design is favoured in warehouses where maximising storage capacity is critical, while still ensuring efficient access to stored goods.

Advantages of Narrow Aisle Racking
Narrow aisle pallet racking is a high density variation of the selective pallet racking. It is a first-in, last-out system that is suitable for non-perishable goods with several advantages:
- Optimal Space Utilisation: It maximises vertical storage capacity, providing up to 69% more storage compared to other selective pallet rack configurations.
- Efficient Access: With unobstructed access to any pallet at any time, narrow aisle racking is perfect for warehouses stocking a diverse array of products in small quantities.
- Ease of Installation and Maintenance: This system is straightforward to install and maintain, presenting a cost-effective alternative to pushback or flow pallet racking.
- Expert Installation Requirement: Due to its precise operational tolerances, installation of narrow aisle pallet racking requires qualified experts like Elbowroom to ensure optimal performance and safety.
One important consideration for businesses interested in narrow aisle pallet racking is the choice of forklift. In a narrow aisle system a conventional counterbalance fork truck will not fit, and instead you will need a special forklift truck designed for smaller areas.
