Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of handling equipment do I need to operate these racks?

Our racks are designed for versatility. Depending on the model you choose, they can be operated with standard forklifts, overhead bridge cranes, jib cranes, or even gantry cranes. For crane operation, you would typically use accessories like vacuum lifters or plate clamps to handle the sheets.

2. Can one person safely operate a rack with heavy materials, like 5,000 lbs?

Absolutely. For loads of this weight (approximately 2.2 tons), we highly recommend our hand-cranked model. The geared crank mechanism makes it easy and safe for a single operator to smoothly roll out a fully loaded drawer without physical strain.

3. How do I load new sheets onto the rack drawers?

Loading is straightforward. For forklift-operable models, you can place a stack of sheets directly onto the drawer/pallet. For all models, you can use your crane or forklift to place sheets onto an extended drawer. We also offer specialized accessories like a “Depalletizer” to help safely transfer a full stack of material from a wooden shipping pallet to our steel drawer.

4. Can the racks be customized for my specific sheet sizes and weight needs?

Yes, customization is one of our core strengths. We can engineer the sheet steel storage rack dimensions, number of levels, drawer capacity, and even color to perfectly match your material specifications, available space, and existing handling equipment capabilities.

5. What is the maximum height for these storage racks?

The height is primarily limited by your facility’s ceiling height and the maximum lift height of your handling equipment (forklift or crane). We have successfully implemented systems with up to 20 levels. Our engineers will work with you to design a system that maximizes your vertical space while ensuring safe and efficient operation.
