Wide aisle racking is the most commonly used system for storing palletised unit loads.
Fast throughput and ease of unloading/loading, make wide aisle racking extremely popular.
Easy loading and unloading
The arrangement pattern of the pallets has a minimum of 2.5 metres aisles. It requires no specialised handling equipment. Therefore, loading and unloading is a straightforward and hassle-free task.
Wide aisle racking for better accessibility
In this system each pallet is individually supported and independently accessible. There is 100% accessibility to each and every pallet.
Standard MHE keeps overall costs down
There is no need for specialist handling equipment to operate wide aisle racking. The aisle width allows for a standard counterbalance truck 3.5 to 4 metres wide. Reach trucks can work in aisles as low as only 2.5 metres wide (depending on height and load).
Increase loading speed
Whilst more footprint-heavy than other dense forms of racking, using roughly 40% of the available floor space, wide aisle racking is one of the quickest to access systems, with full pallet availability. Speed of access is enhanced by the fact that trucks and pickers can pass each other in the aisle. Therefore it allows multiple access (where safe to do so).
A limitation of using standard lift trucks is that the racking system’s height is restricted to the maximum lift height of the trucks.
