In the quest to optimize warehouse space and improve operational efficiency, Meijer Handling Solutions offers innovative technologies that combine Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) configurations with Double Deep storage systems. By leveraging KOOI® ReachForks, businesses can significantly enhance their storage capacity while streamlining handling processes.
VNA setups allow forklifts to operate in aisles as narrow as 1.6 meters, effectively increasing the number of pallet positions within the same warehouse footprint. As highlighted by Modern Materials Handling, reducing aisle width is one of the most efficient ways to optimize warehouse layout, especially when paired with the right equipment.
Double Deep racking stores pallets two rows deep, effectively increasing capacity by up to 30% compared to single-deep systems. When used in combination with KOOI® ReachForks, forklifts can easily reach deeper pallet positions without sacrificing precision or safety.
Increased Storage Capacity: Implementing Double Deep racking with ReachForks unlocks significant gains in space utilization, up to 30% more pallet positions within the same area.
Improved Safety: The telescopic design of the forks allows for stable, accurate pallet placement and retrieval, reducing product damage and enhancing operator confidence.
Operational Efficiency: ReachForks enable one-sided loading and unloading, which streamlines processes at docks, cross-docking zones, and VNA aisles alike.
Low Maintenance: Compared to traditional pantograph systems, ReachForks have fewer moving parts, lowering the cost and frequency of repairs.
