Kanban Shelving

Product Details

Kanban Shelving – Efficient Line-Side Stock Rotation

Kanban shelving is a lean storage solution that uses sloping shelves and a two-bin system to support first-in-first-out stock rotation. Each level tilts forward so that the front bin presents items for picking, while a second bin sits behind ready to replace it when empty. This simple arrangement improves efficiency and reduces downtime by signalling when replenishment is required. The steel frame is strong and stable, and shelves can be adjusted to accommodate different bin sizes. Options include bays supplied with plastic bins or shelf trays.

Key Features

• Sloping shelves: Front-to-back angle keeps stock at the picking face and enables automatic feed.
• Two-bin arrangement: When the front bin is empty, the rear bin slides forward, signalling that stock needs replenishing.
• Adjustable levels: Shelves can be set to different heights to suit various bin sizes and contents.
• Robust construction: Steel uprights and beams provide stability under load.
• Versatile configurations: Choose between bins or trays and from different bay sizes and colours.

Why Choose Kanban Shelving?

Kanban shelving is ideal for lean manufacturing and assembly environments where continuous replenishment is critical. The sloping shelf design ensures a constant supply of parts at the pick face, while the two-bin system enables rapid changeover. This improves productivity and reduces the risk of stockouts. The modular design also allows you to expand or reconfigure the system as your production changes.

Typical Applications

• Production lines and assembly cells
• Maintenance and spares stores
• Warehouses using a Kanban replenishment system
• Retail backrooms and stock rotation areas
• Workshops seeking lean, efficient storage
