What Makes Herochu’s Forklift Steel Plate Rack a Must-Have?
Storing and moving heavy plates—whether they’re steel, aluminum, wood, or plastic—demands equipment that’s tough, reliable, and easy to use. Herochu’s engineering team built this rack to tackle the hardest industrial challenges, from daily forklift use to long-term outdoor storage. Let’s dive into the features that set it apart from generic storage solutions.
1. 1–5 Ton Load Capacity: Built with High-Strength Steel for Maximum Reliability
At the heart of every Herochu rack is a Q235B hot-rolled steel frame—a material chosen for its unmatched strength in construction and heavy machinery. Unlike flimsy racks that warp under pressure, this frame is welded with precision, using crossbeams and longitudinal beams arranged in a grid or diamond pattern to spread weight evenly across the structure. This design doesn’t just “hold” plates—it keeps them stable, even when stacked high or transported over uneven warehouse floors.
Depending on your needs, each rack can handle 1 to 5 tons of weight. Whether you’re storing thin aluminum sheets for automotive parts or thick steel plates for construction, you’ll never have to worry about sagging, cracking, or structural failure. And for seamless forklift use, the bottom of the rack features full-through fork holes (front to rear) sized for standard forklift forks (100–150mm tall). Your operators can slide forks in, lift the rack, and move it in seconds—no tricky adjustments, no wasted time.
2. Safety-First Design: Protect Plates and Your Team
Damaged plates cost money to replace, and injured workers cost time in downtime. Herochu’s rack addresses both risks with intentional, user-focused features:
- Anti-slip solutions: Choose between anti-slip rubber pads, raised strip protrusions, or welded guard strips on the crossbeams. These prevent plates from sliding or shifting, even when the rack is tilted during transport or jostled by other equipment.
- Rounded edges: Every sharp corner is sanded smooth to eliminate scratches on your plates (so you never have to write off “blemished” inventory) and cuts to your team’s hands.
- Optional foldable guardrails: For extra security during long moves or tall stacks, add foldable fences that lock into place. These keep plates from tipping over, even if the forklift hits a sudden bump or stops short.
3. Customizable to Your Space: No More “One-Size-Fits-All” Headaches
Every workshop has unique needs—maybe you store extra-wide steel sheets, or your warehouse has narrow aisles that standard racks can’t fit. Herochu doesn’t make you compromise: we build the rack around your plates and your space.
- Ready-to-ship standard sizes: Our most popular options are 2000mm×1500mm (great for large steel sheets) and 1200mm×1000mm (perfect for smaller aluminum or plastic plates). These ship quickly, so you can start using them ASAP.
- Non-standard customization: Need a longer rack for 3-meter steel plates? A narrower one to fit between your existing machinery? Just share your plate dimensions and space constraints, and our team will create a custom blueprint. We’ll adjust length, width, and even load capacity to match exactly what you need.
This flexibility means you won’t waste space on a rack that’s too big, or struggle to squeeze plates into a rack that’s too small. It’s storage that works around your workflow—not the other way around.
The Real-World Benefits: Transform How You Manage Inventory
Herochu’s Forklift Steel Plate Rack does more than store plates—it changes how you run your business. Here’s how it delivers tangible value day in and day out:
Cut Labor Costs by 70% with Mechanized Handling
Manual handling of heavy plates is a drain on time and resources. A single thick steel sheet can weigh 500 pounds or more—requiring 2–3 workers to move it safely. With Herochu’s rack, you flip the script: pair it with a standard forklift, and one operator can handle even the heaviest loads in minutes.
The impact? A 70% reduction in labor costs for loading, unloading, and moving plates. Let’s break that down: if your team spends 4 hours a day moving plates manually, the rack cuts that time to just over an hour. For a warehouse moving 50 plates daily, that’s thousands of dollars saved in labor each month. It’s especially useful for long-distance moves—like transferring plates from a cutting machine to a processing line—where manual handling would slow down production.
Maximize Every Inch of Space: Vertical or Ground Storage
Warehouse and yard space is expensive—so why waste it? Herochu’s rack helps you use space smarter:
- Vertical storage: Pair the rack with pallet shelves to stack multiple racks on top of each other. Thanks to the strong steel frame, you can safely double or triple your storage capacity without expanding your footprint. This is a game-changer for small warehouses or busy building materials yards.
- Ground storage: Use the rack as a temporary holding area for plates waiting to be used. No more piling plates on the floor, where they collect dust, absorb moisture (leading to rust on steel), or get bent under pressure.
- On-site customer service: For building materials yards, let customers inspect plates up close, then load their selection directly into the rack for transport to their truck. It speeds up checkout and makes your yard look more professional—keeping customers coming back.
Keep Plates in Pristine Condition: No More Scrap or Waste
Your plates are only valuable if they’re undamaged. Herochu’s rack protects your inventory in three critical ways:
- Elevated, flat surface: Plates never touch the ground, so they avoid moisture, dirt, and uneven surfaces that cause bending or warping. This is especially important for thin aluminum or plastic plates that are easily damaged.
- Optional partitioned storage: Add dividers to store multiple plate sizes (e.g., 4ft×8ft steel and 2ft×4ft aluminum) in one rack. No more mixing plates, no more scratches from rubbing, no more time wasted sorting through stacks.
- Corrosion-resistant finishes: Choose from powder coating, galvanizing, or electroplating to protect the rack from rust and fading. Whether you store it indoors (in a humid warehouse) or outdoors (in a rainy building materials yard), the rack will last—and keep your plates clean and safe.
Affordable, Long-Lasting: A Smart Investment for Years
Custom industrial storage can cost
5,499.
And this isn’t a “cheap” rack—it’s a long-term investment. The Q235B steel and corrosion-resistant finish mean it will last 5 to 10 years with minimal maintenance. Compare that to generic racks that break after 1–2 years (forcing you to buy replacements), and it’s clear: Herochu’s rack saves you money over time.
Which Industries Benefit Most?
The Herochu Forklift Steel Plate Rack is designed for businesses that work with heavy plates. Here are the industries that use it most:
- Manufacturing: Use it to store plates between cutting and processing (e.g., moving steel sheets from a laser cutter to a bending machine). It keeps workflows smooth and reduces downtime caused by disorganized inventory.
- Warehousing & Logistics: Maximize vertical space with shelves, or use it as a temporary holding area for incoming/outgoing plates. It’s faster than pallets and safer than stacking plates directly on the floor.
- Building Materials: Help customers select and load plates quickly, improving service and reducing wait times. The rack also keeps your yard organized, making it easier to find specific plate sizes.
- Automotive & Aerospace: Store precision-cut aluminum or steel plates used for parts manufacturing. The rack’s flat surface and partitioned storage prevent damage that would ruin tight tolerances.
