E Storage Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking System provides high density storage while still allows individual access to all pallets. It is served by special designed handling equipment, which includes a combination of order pickers and truck or stacker cranes, where it is used to manoeuvre in the narrow aisle between the racks and aisle. They are marginally wider that the special truck, thus it is guided along the aisle and do not turn to retrieve or deposit a pallet where the mast or fork head rotates to left or right as required.

- Can free up between 30 – 50% of floor space vs. wide aisle systems
