What are FIFO shelving systems?

FIFO shelving systems are storage solutions designed to implement the 'first in, first out' method, ideal for inventory management.

What are the benefits of Karl FIFO shelving?

Karl FIFO shelving offers efficient storage, ESD protection, and ergonomic design, making them ideal for industrial and warehouse use.

Where can I use Karl FIFO shelving systems?

These systems are suitable for workstations in industrial settings, warehouses, and any environment requiring organized storage.

Are Karl FIFO shelves adjustable?

Yes, Karl FIFO shelves can be adjusted to fit different storage needs and configurations.

Do Karl FIFO shelving systems offer ESD protection?

Yes, they are designed to provide ESD protection, ensuring safety for sensitive electronic components.

How do FIFO shelving systems improve efficiency?

They streamline the storage process by ensuring older inventory is used first, reducing waste and improving inventory turnover.

Can Karl FIFO shelving systems be customized?

Yes, these shelving systems can be customized to meet specific storage and organizational requirements.

FIFO racks

ESD Workplaces Karl

Karl FIFO racks organise material flow on the first-in, first-out principle: the part stored first is always the first retrieved. The range covers stationary base frames in widths of 510, 790, 930 and 1230 mm (depth 750 mm, height 1990 mm) as well as mobile FIFO cars in 570 and 790 mm widths (height 1600 mm). Steplessly tiltable shelf panels, dividers and ESD roller strips complete the system to keep the pick face continuously loaded and batch order intact.

⚙ Base frames 510-1230 mm wide - standard depth 750 mm, height 1990 mm, floor glides included

📦 Mobile FIFO cars - widths 570 and 790 mm, depth 870 mm, height 1600 mm, 2 or 4 vertical struts

↕ Steplessly tiltable shelf - FIFO shelf 930 (815x1200x55 mm), compatible with 930 mm base frame

✓ ESD roller strips - 1145 mm long, electrostatically dissipative for EPA-compliant storage lanes

⬡ Divider bars - 1145x55x2.5 mm steel sheet, precise compartment separation within the FIFO shelf panel

Criterion	FIFO rack (stationary)	FIFO car (mobile)
Widths	510, 790, 930, 1230 mm	570, 790, 930 mm
Height	1990 mm	1600 mm
Depth	750 mm	870 mm (2-strut) / 1050 mm (4-strut)
Base	Floor glides	Castors (mobile underframe)
Typical use	Fixed storage lanes, flow-through racking	Cyclic supply to assembly line

Divider bars (1145x55x2.5 mm) and the tiltable shelf 930 complement both variants when different component sizes need to be presented separately.

Typical applications: SMT and THT assembly lines with cycle-synchronised component supply, automotive and medical device assembly with FIFO replenishment, ESD-compliant storage lanes for moisture-sensitive or ESD-classified parts (EPA zone), goods-in buffers with controlled batch tracking, and internal logistics routes using FIFO cars as mobile staging units.
