Raising Capacity in Very Narrow Aisle Warehouses

Many modern logistics and e-commerce enterprises are facing the pressure of limited warehouse land and rising operation cost, so improving the unit storage capacity of existing warehouse space has become a core demand for daily operation. Very narrow aisle warehouse mode is one of the most efficient solutions to break the capacity bottleneck, which shrinks the aisle width from the conventional 3 to 3.5 meters to 1.6 to 2 meters, so that more shelf units can be arranged within the same floor area, and the total available storage space can be increased by 30% to 50% under reasonable planning. To make the most of the narrow aisle space, the matched material handling equipment is the core support, and the electric forklift with special design for very narrow aisle scenarios can complete stable stacking and picking operation in the limited aisle space without extra idle occupation. Jianshu New Energy provides full set of supporting solutions for very narrow aisle warehouse transformation, including equipment adaptation, personnel training and later operation maintenance guidance, to help enterprises avoid the common problems such as unsmooth operation flow and low equipment utilization rate after the transformation of narrow aisles. The BYD Forklift series designed for narrow aisle scenarios features compact body structure, stable lateral moving performance and accurate positioning control, which can effectively reduce the collision risk between the equipment and shelves during high position operation, ensuring the operation safety while giving full play to the space advantage of the narrow aisle warehouse. Apart from equipment selection, reasonable shelf location planning is also an important measure to raise capacity. Enterprises can classify different goods according to their turnover rate, place high turnover goods near the aisle end and low turnover goods in the far high position, which can further shorten the operation path of the handling equipment and improve the overall operation efficiency. It is also suggested that warehouse managers make regular optimization of the shelf layout according to the actual operation data, adjust the aisle position and shelf height properly under the premise of meeting relevant safety specifications, to tap the storage potential to the maximum extent.
