Drawer-Style Sliding Sheet Metal Storage Rack – Efficient & Safe Material Handling

In industrial settings where sheet metal storage is critical, efficiency and safety are top priorities. The ‌Drawer-Style Sliding Sheet Metal Storage Rack‌ offers a innovative solution by combining easy accessibility with space optimization. This system eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional stacking methods, providing a streamlined approach to material management.

‌Why Choose a Drawer-Style Sliding Rack?‌

‌1. Eliminates Material Damage‌

Traditional stacking leads to surface scratches, dents, and bending due to pressure and friction. Each sheet rests independently on a dedicated drawer, ensuring pristine condition and reducing waste.

‌2. Maximizes Vertical Space‌

The vertical stratification design transforms storage from a flat layout to a three-dimensional structure. This allows more materials to be stored in the same footprint, ideal for space-constrained workshops.

‌3. Simplifies Material Retrieval‌

• ‌Manual Operation:‌ Hand-cranked drawers enable effortless pulling and pushing.
• ‌Electric Option:‌ One-button start for quick access in high-volume facilities.
• ‌Forklift & Crane Compatibility:‌ Integrates seamlessly with material handling equipment, reducing labor costs.

‌4. Improves Material Utilization‌

By enabling ‌First-In, First-Out (FIFO)‌, this system prevents rust and obsolescence caused by long-term storage. This reduces inventory backlog and ensures materials are used efficiently.

‌5. Customizable Load Capacity‌

Each layer can be designed to withstand ‌3 to 20 tons‌, accommodating lightweight or heavy-duty sheets.

‌6. Personalized Color & Layer Options‌

• ‌Color Customization:‌ Choose from various powder-coat finishes.
• ‌Layer Adjustability:‌ Configure drawers based on sheet size and quantity.

‌Key Specifications‌

• ‌Model Numbers:‌ HC-B3015-63, HC-B4015-63, HC-B4020-65, HC-B6020-66
• ‌Sheet Size (mm):‌ 3000×1500, 4000×1500, 4000×2000, 6000×2000
• ‌Loading per Layer:‌ 5+1 (3t, 3t, 5t, 6t respectively)

‌Structural & Operational Features‌

• ‌Fixed or Door-Arranged Structure:‌ Open-access or closed-type configurations for security.
• ‌Push & Pull Mechanism:‌ Smooth operation with minimal effort.
• ‌Mechanical Drive (Rack & Pinion):‌ Ensures precise movement and durability.
