kapeakäytävävarasto

Kapeakäytävävarasto refers to a type of warehouse or storage facility characterized by narrow aisles designed to maximize storage density. This design is achieved by utilizing specialized material handling equipment, such as narrow aisle forklifts, turret trucks, or order pickers, which can operate efficiently in confined spaces. These trucks are often very tall and can reach high racking systems, allowing for vertical storage expansion.

The primary advantage of a kapeakäytävävarasto is its ability to significantly increase the usable storage space within a given footprint compared to traditional warehouse layouts with wider aisles. This makes it an attractive option for businesses facing high land costs or those needing to store a large volume of goods in a limited area. The reduced aisle width also leads to fewer opportunities for collisions between equipment and racking, potentially improving safety.

However, this storage method also presents certain challenges. The specialized equipment required can be expensive to purchase and maintain. Furthermore, the maneuverability of this equipment is limited, which can slow down put-away and retrieval times for certain operations. The layout is typically less flexible than wider aisle systems, making it more difficult to reconfigure the storage layout if operational needs change. Kapeakäytävävarasto solutions are best suited for operations with a stable inventory and predictable order profiles.
