Fifo Station Parts
(12)How Do FIFO Stations Work?
FIFO stations guide dollies or containers through a lane where the first item loaded is always the first removed. This protects stock quality and helps form a clear, structured workflow. The rails are designed for smooth travel, safe positioning, and quick loading, supported by secure end caps and colour-coded edges. Our FIFO monorail sets also integrate seamlessly with wider visual management products, making your warehouse easier to navigate, request materials from and control.
What Are The Benefits of FIFO Systems?
FIFO lanes streamline rotation, enhance picking accuracy, and create safer, tidier warehouse floors. They reduce handling time, prevent ageing stock, and support a smoother, more efficient workflow across your entire operation.
Key benefits include:
- Consistent stock rotation that keeps materials fresh and production-ready.
- Safer movement paths through colour-coded rails and defined travel lanes.
- Faster picking and replenishment so staff spend less time handling delays or searching for items.
- Improved visual control through labelling and lane identification.
- Smooth and stable travel for both plastic and rubber castors.
- Flexible configuration: Aluminium profiles allow signage, lane dividers and extensions, and can work alongside solutions like the aluminium parking slot to support clearer organisation and controlled flow.
A Flexible System that Adapts to Your Warehouse Layout
Our FIFO monorail sets are built as a flexible system that adapts to different layouts, processes, and space requirements. You can connect lanes, change their form, or adjust the angle depending on your required length or workflow design. Each rail is equipped for fast assembly, making it easy to expand your station or reposition it as your logistics needs evolve. This flexibility ensures the system continues to work efficiently, even as your requests or handling volumes change.
Which FIFO monorail sets do we offer?
Rubber castors: Rubber-castor dollies load smoothly from one side, ideal for high-volume material supply lanes and fast, efficient handling.
Plastic castors: Plastic castors travel best when guided along the outer edges, a feature our rails support to prevent rocking and improve control.
All castor widths: The system is suitable for mixed fleets, making it future-proof as equipment changes.
How to Use FIFO Systems in Your Warehouses
Start with a clear floor and map the flow direction. Install the rails using operational full surface adhesion for long-term stability. Assign each lane to a material type, then adjust the setup as space, demand or logistics patterns evolve. If you need replacements or additions, our FIFO station parts range allows easy upgrades without reinstalling the entire system. This keeps your warehouse efficient, adaptable, and ready to handle new requests or processes.

FIFO Station FAQs
What does FIFO stand for in warehouse management? +
FIFO means First In First Out, ensuring the item loaded earliest is the first removed. This prevents older stock from sitting unused and keeps materials moving in the correct order. It improves visibility, reduces waste, and supports smooth, efficient picking. Our FIFO monorail sets make this process simple and reliable across your warehouse.
Can I buy spare parts for my FIFO station? +
Yes. You can purchase replacement rails, caps, connectors and more in our FIFO station parts section. This keeps maintenance affordable and lets you extend or adjust your station easily. Spare parts ensure the system stays equipped for long term use. It also means you can upgrade individual components instead of reinstalling the full setup when handling demands change.
Are FIFO stations compatible with all castor types? +
Yes. Our system supports plastic castors, rubber castors, and mixed fleets without needing specialist adjustments. The rails provide stability, smooth travel, and guided movement for all wheel types. This makes the solution suitable for both new and existing dollies. You can roll it out across your warehouse without replacing equipment, even as handling requests increase.
How do I install FIFO monorail sets? +
Installation is straightforward. The rails adhere firmly to the floor, and the end caps screw securely into position. This method ensures long lasting stability with minimal downtime. Most setups take place quickly and require only basic tools. Once installed, the system operates smoothly with no further adjustments needed, keeping your handling processes efficient.
Do FIFO systems improve warehouse safety? +
Yes. By creating defined lanes and removing floor clutter, FIFO stations reduce trip hazards and improve visibility. The colour coded rails guide operators safely along predictable paths. This reduces sudden movements or unexpected obstacles. The result is a more organised, controlled, and safer working environment.
