When floor space is tight and workflow efficiency is non-negotiable, cluttered sheet metal storage isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a bottleneck. At Herochu, we’ve reimagined how workshops, fabrication shops, and industrial facilities manage flat stock with our Vertical Roll-Out Sheet Racks, engineered to bring order, accessibility, and serious space savings to even the busiest production floors. Starting at $5,000, and backed by CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications, our HC-V series delivers precision storage without compromise.
Designed for Real Workshops, Not Just Showrooms
Unlike generic shelving that treats all materials the same, Herochu’s vertical roll-out racks are purpose-built for sheet metal, aluminum panels, composite boards, plastic sheets, and remnant offcuts—all stored vertically in pull-out drawers that glide smoothly on reinforced tracks. Each drawer holds up to 1 metric ton (2,200 lbs) per layer, with standard models offering 15 fully functional layers in a single compact footprint.
Available in three core configurations—HC-V2010-15, HC-V2513-15, and HC-V3015-15—these systems accommodate sheet sizes from 2000×1000 mm up to 3000×1500 mm, with a consistent 50 mm inter-layer clearance to prevent scratching and allow easy handling. And because no two operations are identical, we offer fully customized dimensions, capacities, and layouts tailored to your material flow, ceiling height, and forklift access requirements.
How It Works: Vertical Storage Meets Horizontal Access
The genius of the Herochu HC-V system lies in its hybrid approach. Sheets stand vertically within each drawer—maximizing density and preventing warping—but slide out horizontally on heavy-duty rails when needed. This means:
- Full-face exposure: Every sheet is visible and reachable without unstacking or shifting adjacent material.
- Tool-agnostic handling: Use vacuum lifters, magnetic lifters, overhead cranes, forklifts, or even manual extraction—no special adapters required.
- Remnant-friendly design: Integrated lateral support bars let you store odd-sized cutoffs securely alongside full sheets, eliminating “scrap pile” chaos.
With external dimensions as compact as 2700×2455×1200 mm (L×H×W) for the HC-V2010-15, you gain 15 layers of organized storage in less than 3 square meters of floor space. Larger models like the HC-V3015-15 (2700×4455×1700 mm) scale vertically instead of outward—ideal for facilities with high ceilings but limited floor real estate.
Built Tough for Daily Industrial Use
Herochu doesn’t cut corners on durability. Every rack features:
- A welded steel frame with structural reinforcements at stress points
- Powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance in humid or oily environments
- Reinforced guide tracks with sealed bearings to ensure smooth, wobble-free drawer movement—even after thousands of cycles
- Angled drawer bases that gently cradle sheets and prevent slippage during transit
These aren’t showroom prototypes; they’re workhorses tested in metal fabrication plants, aerospace component shops, and renewable energy manufacturing lines across Europe and Asia. The ISO 9001-certified production process guarantees consistent weld quality, dimensional accuracy, and load performance—so what’s rated for 1 ton per layer actually holds 1 ton, day in and day out.
Why Vertical Roll-Out Beats Traditional Stacking
Many shops still lean sheets against walls or stack them horizontally on pallets. Both methods waste time, damage materials, and create safety hazards. Here’s how Herochu’s system solves those pain points:
✅ Eliminates bending and warping – Vertical orientation maintains sheet flatness, critical for laser cutting or CNC routing.
✅ Reduces handling injuries – No more wrestling with unstable stacks or reaching into deep piles.
✅ Cuts retrieval time by up to 70% – Find and extract the exact sheet you need in seconds.
✅ Improves 5S compliance – Everything has a designated place, supporting lean manufacturing principles.
✅ Scales with your business – Start with a 15-drawer unit; add custom modules as production grows.
For job shops managing dozens of material types and thicknesses, this level of organization translates directly into faster turnaround times and fewer production errors.
Customization That Actually Fits Your Workflow
While our standard HC-V models cover most common needs, Herochu excels at bespoke solutions. Need drawers that accommodate 4000 mm-long composites? Require 25 layers under a 5-meter ceiling? Want integrated labeling zones or RFID tags for digital inventory tracking? We’ll engineer it.
Our technical team works directly with your facility planners to:
- Analyze your current material flow
- Recommend optimal drawer count and spacing
- Adjust width/depth to match your forklift or AGV clearances
- Integrate with existing racking or mezzanine systems
Past custom builds have included units with anti-static coatings for electronics manufacturing, stainless steel frames for food-grade environments, and extra-wide drawers for architectural panel producers. If you can describe the challenge, we can build the solution.
Certified Quality You Can Trust
Every Herochu Vertical Roll-Out Sheet Rack undergoes rigorous testing before shipment. Our CE and UE certifications confirm compliance with European machinery and workplace safety directives, while ISO 9001 ensures consistent quality control from raw steel to final assembly. Documentation—including load test reports, material certificates, and installation guides—is provided with every order.
Who Uses These Systems?
- Metal Fabricators: Store stainless, aluminum, and mild steel sheets by gauge and alloy
- Sign & Display Shops: Organize acrylic, PVC, and dibond panels without surface marring
- Aerospace Suppliers: Handle composite sheets and honeycomb panels with precision
- Automotive Tier Suppliers: Manage high-strength steel blanks for stamping lines
- Renewable Energy Manufacturers: Store solar back sheets and insulation panels vertically
In each case, the result is the same: less wasted space, fewer damaged materials, and smoother production flow.
