Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking
Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking is a high-density pallet storage approach that reduces aisle width and makes greater use of available warehouse height.
VNA layouts require suitable material-handling equipment, operating clearances and careful aisle planning. Rack & Save can discuss VNA Racking for Singapore warehouses where pallet selectivity, building height and floor-space utilisation are key project considerations.
Mention your site dimensions and what you need to store. Photos or an existing layout are helpful for the initial discussion.

Very Narrow Aisle Racking Planning Guide
Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking is intended for high-density warehouses that want to reduce aisle width while retaining direct access to pallet positions. The system is especially relevant where building height can be used efficiently and floor area is limited.
Because aisle width and handling equipment are closely connected, a VNA project should be planned as a complete operating system rather than simply narrowing an existing selective-rack aisle.
Where This Product Fits
High-bay pallet storage
Use available building height for more pallet levels while maintaining organised access to stored loads.
Dense mixed-SKU storage
Retain pallet selectivity while reducing the floor area consumed by aisles.
Bulk reserve storage
Increase pallet positions in facilities where reserve stock must still remain individually accessible.
Space-constrained warehouses
Improve net storage-area utilisation where expanding the building footprint is difficult or expensive.
What to Check Before Finalising the Layout
Aisle and equipment compatibility
The aisle width, mast height and handling equipment must be planned together for safe and efficient operation.
Rack height and clearances
Use the available clear height while coordinating roof, sprinklers, lighting and other overhead services.
Pallet and load profile
Confirm pallet dimensions, load weight and load stability before finalising beam levels and frame configuration.
Operational guidance
Traffic flow, pallet placement and operator procedures should match the narrow-aisle operating environment.
Final dimensions, loading, access, services and site requirements are project-specific and should be confirmed during site assessment and design.
VNA vs standard Selective Pallet Racking
Choose VNA when you need direct pallet access but want to reduce aisle width and use more of the warehouse footprint for storage. Standard selective racking is simpler where there is enough aisle space and very high density is not required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is VNA still selective pallet racking?
Rack & Save describes VNA as a 100% selective pallet-rack solution, meaning individual pallet positions remain accessible.
Why does VNA increase storage density?
The principal gain comes from minimising aisle width so more of the building floor area can be used for pallet storage.
Can VNA be used for high-bay applications?
Yes. Rack & Save lists high-bay applications among the advantages of Very Narrow Aisle Racking.
