‘SSI SCHAEFER’ VNA Pallet Racking

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Pallet Racking – High Bay Storage

Interlock Pallet racking systems are designed to meet the new generation of warehouses up to 15m high, designed around the operating tolerances of VNA equipment with aisles marginally wider than the load. Such structures must have a high level of rigidity and accurate manufacturing tolerances. Interlock is designed to meet these requirements.

An increasingly wide range of equipment is now being marketed. The final choice depends on a number of factors – size of installation, throughput, order picking requirements, size and weight of loads, capital available etc.

There are many options available. We are in an excellent position to offer unbiased opinions based on our considerable market experience and knowledge of the storage and material handling industry.
