Maximize every square foot of your facility with Cogan VNA Cantilever Racking — the ultimate solution for high-density storage and optimized picking operations. Specially designed for use with side-loader forklifts, this space-efficient system allows you to cut aisle widths by up to 50%, effectively doubling your storage capacity without expanding your footprint.
Cogan VNA racking offers all the versatility and strength of our standard cantilever systems — with the added advantage of a narrow-profile design. Ideal for operations with limited space or growing storage needs, it's the perfect way to expand capacity inside your existing facility without major renovations.
Our VNA system features integrated aisle guide rails and end-of-aisle guardrails to streamline forklift navigation. These built-in guides:
The result? Faster fulfillment, lower risk, and smoother operations — even in the tightest spaces.
Constructed from structural angle steel, our guide rails are available in two mounting configurations:
Each setup includes a welded end-of-aisle guardrail for extra protection, allowing operators to safely maneuver around corners and into aisles with confidence.
To ensure a perfect fit and seamless functionality, all guide rails are precision-welded on-site into a solid, continuous system.
Whether you're working with a tight warehouse footprint or planning a high-density storage zone, Cogan’s VNA Cantilever Racking gives you the space, safety, and performance to grow — without compromise.
Cogan Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Cantilever Racking is a high-density storage system designed to maximize storage capacity while minimizing aisle width. Built for use with side-loader forklifts, it allows facilities to store long, bulky, and oversized materials in significantly less floor space than traditional cantilever racking.
The system is ideal for storing:
Because aisle widths can be reduced by up to 50% compared to conventional cantilever systems, many facilities can nearly double their storage density without expanding their building footprint. Actual savings depend on product dimensions, forklift requirements, and facility layout.
Both systems store long materials efficiently, but VNA cantilever racking includes:
Guide rails help direct side-loader forklifts through narrow aisles with greater precision. This improves operator efficiency while reducing accidental rack impacts, product damage, and maintenance costs.
These systems are specifically designed for side-loader forklifts that transport long materials sideways through narrow aisles. The guided travel path improves maneuverability and allows operators to safely handle lengthy loads.
Yes. Cogan VNA Cantilever Racking is engineered to meet your specific application and can be configured with:
Cogan offers two guide rail configurations:
Both options include welded end-of-aisle guardrails for maximum protection and safe forklift navigation.
Yes. When professionally engineered and installed, VNA cantilever systems provide excellent operational safety. Features such as continuous guide rails, end-of-aisle guardrails, structural steel construction, and precision forklift guidance help reduce collisions and improve warehouse safety.
Common applications include:
Absolutely. Spacesaver Storage Solutions provides complete turnkey services including:
Yes. Narrow aisles allow more inventory to be stored closer together while guide rails help operators travel efficiently through storage lanes. This often results in:
Yes. Cogan cantilever systems are modular and can typically be expanded by adding additional columns, arms, and storage bays as your inventory or facility requirements change.
