Introduction
As warehouse space becomes more expensive and harder to scale, businesses are shifting toward smarter, vertical storage systems. VNA racks (Very Narrow Aisle Racks) offer a powerful way to maximize storage capacity while maintaining pallet access. At Khambatis, we design and deliver VNA racks in Pakistan that help logistics and storage facilities gain more from every square meter.
What Are VNA Racks?
VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) racking systems are high-density pallet racking solutions that allow for extremely narrow aisles — typically 1.6 to 2.0 meters wide — and make use of the full warehouse height.
They’re designed for use with specialized turret trucks, wire-guided forklifts, or ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems), making them ideal for high-throughput, high-SKU environments like:
eCommerce fulfillment centers
Logistics hubs
Cold chain facilities
Pharmaceutical warehouses
