Overview: Metafold Engineering’s FIFO Storage Racks, also known as Kanban Racks, are the go-to choice for advanced industrial assembly lines that require precise and ergonomic provision of small parts. These racks utilize gravity to shift materials efficiently, increasing productivity while saving up to 40% of space by eliminating gangways. With direct front access, the racks follow the First-in-First-out (FIFO) principle.

Benefits:

1. Space Optimization: These racks save up to 40% of space by eliminating unnecessary gangways and utilizing vertical storage.
2. Increased Productivity: The FIFO system ensures quick and efficient access to materials, enhancing assembly line productivity.
3. Customization: The racks are custom-built, adaptable to different assembly line setups and requirements.
4. Modular and Mobile: With a modular design on casters, the racks can be easily moved and adjusted to match assembly program changes.
5. Efficient Replenishment: The racks are designed for simple replenishment, minimizing downtime and streamlining workflow.

Features:
