VNA warehouse shelving, or narrow lane shelving, is a high-density storage system designed for narrow lanes. This racking system allows the use of special three-way stacking forklifts in very narrow aisles, usually only a little wider than the container, around 1600-2000mm. The main features of VNA shelves include:

1. High space utilization: Due to the reduction of the width of the channel, the VNA shelf system can significantly improve the space utilization of the warehouse, and can save about 20% of the channel space compared with the traditional beam shelf.

2. Flexibility and scalability: The VNA shelf system can be customized according to customer needs, adapt to different storage heights and roadway lengths, and can be expanded in the later stage according to business development.

3. Operation efficiency: Equipped with three-way stacking forklift can work in multiple laneways, improving the maneuverability and efficiency of the operation. Such forklifts are usually equipped with horizontal guide wheels and semi-automatic auxiliary pallet positioning devices to ensure accurate access and positioning on high cargo levels.

4. Adaptability: VNA shelves are suitable for all types of warehouses, especially for those with a single stock of goods or fewer varieties, and the warehouse is highly limited. It is suitable for storage type three-dimensional warehouse, in the case of storage height and roadway length is moderate, the single-unit cargo handling capacity can reach a high level.

5. Skill requirements for forklift drivers: Due to the narrow channel, forklift drivers operating VNA shelves need to have certain skills and experience to ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation.

6. Economic benefits: VNA shelf system can help enterprises reduce land costs, improve logistics efficiency, reduce storage and transportation losses, so as to reduce the backlog of logistics funds, improve the social efficiency of enterprises.

In the selection of VNA shelving system, enterprises should consider the type of warehouse, goods storage objectives, goods distribution, degree of automation requirements, future expansion needs and project budget and construction cycle and other factors to choose the most suitable for their own characteristics of the three-dimensional warehouse form.
