Heavy Duty Drawer Type Sheet Metal Shelves – The Smart Alternative to Floor Stacking

If your shop floor looks like a parking lot for sheet metal—sheets leaning against walls, bundles wrapped in plastic on the ground, remnants piled in corners—you’re not alone. But you are losing money. Time spent searching, damaged edges from improper storage, forklift near-misses, and machine idle time during changeovers all add up. The fix? Heavy Duty Drawer Type Sheet Metal Shelves from Herochu—a purpose-built system that brings order, safety, and efficiency to flat stock management.

Unlike bolt-together shelving or repurposed pallet racks, Herochu’s units are fully welded from structural steel, designed from the ground up for sheet metal handling. At 7 feet tall (84″), they make smart use of vertical space while keeping all material within practical reach—especially when paired with an overhead crane or vacuum lifter.

Full Extension, Zero Compromise

Each shelf slides out completely on four industrial-grade roller bearings, supporting 5,500 lbs uniformly distributed. That means you can load a full 4′ x 10′ steel plate, pull the drawer open, and lift it straight off—no tilting, no leverage, no risk of slippage. This full-access design is why leading fabricators install these units directly beside laser tables: when the current job ends, the next sheet is already staged and visible.

Compare that to static racks, where the back half of a shelf is essentially “dead space” unless you unload the front first. Or floor stacking, where retrieving a specific gauge might mean moving three other bundles first. Herochu eliminates both scenarios.

Engineered Models for Every Scale

From compact workshops to large production facilities, Herochu offers standardized models that cover most needs:

• HC-B2015-62: 2m x 1.5m, 6 layers, 2T — ideal for small job shops
• HC-B4020-65: 4m x 2m, 6 layers, 5T — perfect for medium-plate processing
• HC-B6020-66: 6m x 2m, 6 layers, 6T — built for heavy industrial use

All units feature 220 mm minimum clearance between layers, preventing surface scratches and allowing airflow to reduce condensation. External widths range from 2000 mm to 2500 mm, and total lengths scale with plate size—ensuring stability even with 6-meter-long sheets.

Optional steel decking adds rigidity for thin or perforated materials that might sag on open frames.

Cut Costs, Not Corners

Many assume automation or specialized storage is only for big factories. But Herochu’s drawer shelves deliver ROI fast:

• Eliminate one forklift operator during shift changes or material swaps
• Reduce scrap from bent or scratched sheets
• Free up 30–50% of floor space previously used for staging
• Speed up setup times by having materials pre-sorted and labeled

And because there’s no minimum order, even a single-unit purchase makes sense for a bottleneck workstation.

Certified, Durable, Made to Last

Every rack undergoes load testing, weld inspection, and surface treatment in our ISO 9001-certified facility. The powder-coated finish resists oil, coolant, and humidity—critical in metalworking environments. CE certification ensures compliance for global deployment.

Whether you call them shelves, racks, or storage cabinets, one thing is clear: Herochu’s drawer-type system is the last sheet storage solution you’ll ever need to buy.
