Drawer-Type Steel Plate Storage Rack System

Herochu Drawer-Type Steel Plate Storage Rack System: Unrivaled Organization for Metal Fabrication and Industrial Storage

Any metal fabrication shop, manufacturing facility, or warehouse handling substantial sheet metal inventory understands the significant challenges involved. Traditional storage methods—leaning sheets against walls or stacking them on the floor—are not just inefficient; they are costly, dangerous, and fundamentally disorganized. This outdated approach consumes a premium amount of valuable floor space, creates a high risk of material mix-ups leading to costly production errors, and exposes both employees and expensive raw materials to significant damage. The Herochu Drawer-Type Steel Plate Storage Rack System presents a fundamentally superior approach. This is not a simple shelving unit; it is a comprehensive storage solution engineered from the ground up to transform chaos into order, reclaim your floor space, and establish a new standard for safety and operational efficiency in your workshop.

The problems with conventional storage are multifaceted. Floor-stacked sheets create tripping hazards and expose workers to dangerous sharp edges, compromising workplace safety. Retrieving a specific sheet from the middle of a stack is a time-consuming ordeal that requires heavy equipment and multiple personnel, drastically slowing down production cycles. Perhaps most financially damaging is the inevitable confusion between plates of similar thicknesses, which can lead to incorrect cuts on expensive CNC machinery, resulting in project delays, wasted material, and eroded profits. The Herochu Drawer-Type system is specifically designed to eliminate these problems entirely, providing a structured, intelligent, and safe method for managing your most valuable raw materials.

Superior Engineering and Robust Design Specifications

The exceptional performance and durability of the Herochu system are a direct result of its meticulous engineering and construction, utilizing only the highest quality materials and components.

• Heavy-Duty Drawer Construction: The heart of the system is its fully cantilevered drawer layers. Each drawer is a robust platform fabricated from high-tensile strength steel, engineered to support immense weights—up to 3000 kg per drawer—without any risk of bending or deflection. These drawers glide smoothly on industrial-grade roller bearing systems, allowing even a fully loaded drawer to be extended to its full 100% capacity with minimal effort, providing complete and unobstructed access to the entire sheet.

• Forklift Accessible Design: Unlike other systems that require complex overhead cranes, the Herochu rack is designed for seamless integration with standard forklifts. Each drawer features a dedicated forklift port, allowing an operator to directly insert the forks, lift the entire drawer load safely, and transport it precisely where it needs to go. This design simplifies the storage and retrieval process, making it incredibly efficient for a single operator to manage large volumes of material.

• Flat Storage for Material Integrity: Sheets are stored perfectly flat within each dedicated drawer. This is a critical advantage over A-frame racks or leaning storage, as it completely prevents the sagging, warping, and edge deformation that can ruin expensive plate metal. Your raw materials are maintained in pristine, factory-perfect condition, ensuring quality in your finished products and protecting your capital investment.

• Compact, High-Density Footprint: By storing sheets vertically within a multi-layer rack system, Herochu achieves an exponential increase in storage density. Our standard models, such as the HC-B4020-65 for 4000x2000mm plates, can organize six full layers of material in a footprint that is a mere fraction of that required by floor stacking. This efficient design reclaims vast amounts of valuable square footage, space that can be repurposed for additional production machinery or assembly areas.

Standard Models for Immediate Clarity

Herochu offers a range of standard models designed to accommodate the most common plate sizes, providing a clear starting point for customization.

• HC-B3015-63: Designed for plates measuring 3000x1500mm with 6 storage layers.

• HC-B4015-63: Designed for plates measuring 4000x1500mm with 6 storage layers.

• HC-B4020-65: Designed for plates measuring 4000x2000mm with 6 storage layers.

• HC-B6020-65: Designed for plates measuring 6000x2000mm with 6 storage layers.

Each model is engineered to the same exacting standards of strength and reliability, ensuring safe operation at full capacity.

Comprehensive Operational Advantages and Tangible ROI

Implementing a Herochu Drawer-Type System delivers an immediate and measurable return on investment by directly addressing core operational costs.

• Radical Space Reclamation: The most immediate impact is the dramatic recovery of floor space. By shifting from horizontal stacking to vertical, high-density storage, you effectively multiply your usable storage capacity within the same facility, delaying or eliminating the need for costly facility expansions.

• Unmatched Organization and Inventory Control: The system provides a dedicated, labeled space for each material type, thickness, and grade. This eliminates inventory confusion and the costly mistakes of misidentification. At a single glance, operators can see all available stock, which drastically simplifies inventory auditing and makes cycle counts faster and completely accurate.

• Dramatically Improved Productivity: The combination of forklift-accessible drawers and flat storage slashes material handling time. Retrieving any specific sheet becomes a simple, two-minute task for a single operator, accelerating production cycles, reducing machine idle time, and allowing your workforce to focus on productive fabrication rather than cumbersome logistics.

• A Proactive Culture of Safety: The system fundamentally enhances workshop safety. By enclosing sharp edges within the drawer structure, it completely eliminates pedestrian tripping and laceration hazards. The stable, engineered structure prevents any risk of stacks collapsing, protecting both your employees and your assets.
