Why Is Aisle Width So Important?
Aisle width within a warehouse directly determines total racking capacity. Being able to store 20–30% more pallets within the same floor area can be an alternative to constructing a new warehouse.
Minimum AST Aisle Requirements by Forklift Type
- Standard counterbalance (3,800 mm): ~5,200 pallet capacity
- Reach truck (2,900 mm): ~6,800 pallets (+31%)
- VNA (1,700 mm): ~8,500 pallets (+63%)
