Herochu Sheet Metal Storage Rack Design – Precision-Built Steel, Tailored Intelligence, Global Reliability
When every square metre of the workshop earns its keep, storage must work harder than a forklift. Herochu designs, forges, and installs sheet metal storage racks that turn idle corners into high-density, high-speed inventory hubs. From a single roll-out cradle to a fully automated three-dimensional warehouse, each structure begins with a conversation about your parts, your cranes, your cadence, and your growth plan. Prices open at $5,199 for a certified, warrantied, factory-direct system, yet the real value is measured in recovered floor space, faster change-overs, and the confidence that a 6-ton blank can be retrieved, loaded, and cut while another job is still nesting.
Carbon-steel intelligence, not catalogue compromise
Our engineering DNA comes from Herochu Machinery Group: forty specialists who refuse to copy yesterday’s angle-iron thinking. They start with Q235B-grade carbon steel, laser-cut to 0.2 mm tolerance, then weld every joint under continuous CO₂ shielding. The beam geometry is analysed for deflection under 1.5× dynamic load; the moment diagram becomes part of your approval drawing. Host wheel sets are turned from 45# steel, oil-quenched to 55 HRC, and mounted on sealed spherical bearings guaranteed for 50,000 cycles at full rated weight. The result is a storage rack that behaves like a machine tool—predictable, repeatable, and indifferent to shock loading or third-shift overtime.
Surface science that outlasts the paint warranty
After shot-blasting to SA 2.5, steel receives a zinc-rich epoxy primer baked at 180 °C, followed by a textured polyester top-coat rated for 1,000 hours salt-spray. The finish shrugs off aluminium dust, coolant mist, and the inevitable impact of a 400 kg bundle. Colour is not cosmetic: safety yellow edges, RAL 5010 blue frames, and custom corporate livery are applied in the same controlled booth, so your rack arrives site-ready, not workshop-bound.
Certification you can photocopy for the inspector
Herochu holds CE conformity for machinery directive 2006/42/EC, UE structural compliance to EN 1993-1-1, and ISO 9001:2015 for design, manufacture, and after-sales service. Every serial number is linked to a material test report, a weld map, and a proof-load certificate. When the auditor asks for traceability, you simply email the PDF—no reinterpretation, no second-guessing.
Modularity that respects tomorrow’s press brake, not yesterday’s budget
Standard roll-out racks are stocked in four footprints—3, 4, 4.5, and 6 m lengths—but the bolted upright system allows 300 mm height increments from 1.6 m to 4 m without cutting or rewelding. Need five drawers today and eight next year? Add intermediate beams, slide in additional cradles, and recalibrate the safety locks. Want to switch from manual pull-out to robotic extraction? The same frame accepts servo-driven shuttle tables, magnetic grippers, and laser height sensors. Your first investment is never obsolete; it simply evolves.
Automation without mystique
Herochu supplies the only sheet metal storage rack design conceived on the same PLM platform as its robotic loading arms. That means drawer travel, acceleration curves, and teach-point coordinates are shared between rack and robot before either leaves the factory. Installation time drops by 40 %, and commissioning no longer involves a programmer with a tape measure. Whether you order a single forklift rack or a 12-aisle automated warehouse, the control logic is written, simulated, and FAT-tested in-house, so your production team presses green and starts cutting.
Global supply chain, local handshake
We ship to forty-three countries, yet we still build prototypes for one-off inventors. There is no minimum order: a single rack for a university lab receives the same project manager as a 1,200-ton distribution hub. Sea freight is crated in export-grade steel frames; air freight modules arrive in ISPM-15 plywood. Customs documentation, import duty guidance, and on-site supervision are included, not invoiced separately. Wherever your facility sits, a Herochu engineer is on call within 24 hours, backed by regional spare-part depots that keep critical components one courier ride away.
After-sales that lasts the life of the building
Our service clock starts at commissioning, not despatch. A cloud-based portal logs every drawer cycle, every lock engagement, and every service intervention. Predictive algorithms flag bearings approaching cycle limit, and an automatic quote for replacement parts lands before downtime is possible. Telephone support is staffed by welders and programmers, not call-centre scripts. Should you relocate, we disassemble, inspect, and re-certify the system at the new address, ensuring the serial number continues its story rather than starting a new one.
Partner proof, not marketing promise
Herochu racks currently store 310,000 t of sheet metal across five continents. Clients include a German OEM that trimmed retrieval time by 62 %, an Australian shipyard that released 1,800 m² for additional plasma tables, and a North American job shop that cut material damage by 85 % in the first year. Their data, not our brochure, defines the benchmark.
Take the next step toward intelligent density
Send us a sketch, a spreadsheet, or a simple list of blanks. Our engineers will return a 3-D concept, a load plan, and a fixed-price quotation within forty-eight hours. No AI chatbot, no generic questionnaire—just experienced metal-men who understand that sheet metal storage rack design is only finished when your forklift driver nods approval. Contact Herochu today and convert the cost of chaos into the profit of precision.
