Heavy duty pneumatic roll out racks
Herochu offers four standard models, each engineered to handle specific sheet sizes and weight loads—so you don’t have to pay for features you don’t need. Every model follows Herochu’s naming logic: “HC” for Constant Storage, “B” for Board Type, followed by dimensions (in meters), number of layers, and load capacity. For example, the HC-B3015-63 means 3m x 1.5m sheets, 6 layers, 3 tons per layer. Let’s break down the specs to help you find the perfect fit
Herochu Heavy Duty Pneumatic Roll Out Racks: Transform Sheet Metal Storage From Chaos to Efficiency
Imagine walking into your workshop and not wasting 20 minutes hunting for a specific steel sheet. No more struggling to maneuver forklifts around stacked materials, no more dented aluminum from clumsy handling, and no more team members risking back injuries to lift heavy plates. That’s the difference Herochu’s Heavy Duty Pneumatic Roll Out Racks make. Designed specifically for storing steel sheets, aluminum plates, flat products, and tools, this system uses pneumatic power to turn bulky, hard-to-manage inventory into an organized, accessible asset. With customizable configurations, industrial-grade strength, and global certifications (CE, UE, ISO 9001), it’s not just a storage rack—it’s a way to cut waste, boost productivity, and keep your team safe. Starting at $5,000, it’s an investment that pays for itself in months, not years.
What Makes Pneumatic Roll Out Racks a Game-Changer for Sheet Metal?
Traditional storage solutions—stacking sheets on the floor, using basic shelving, or even manual roll-out racks—force you to choose between accessibility and capacity. Pneumatic roll-out racks eliminate that tradeoff. Herochu’s design uses compressed air to power smooth, effortless drawer movement, so even a single person can extend a fully loaded drawer (up to 5 tons!) with minimal effort. No more wrestling with stiff, manual slides or waiting for a second team member to help—just push a lever, and the drawer glides open, exposing the entire face of your sheet metal.
This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about safety and efficiency. When sheets are stored in pneumatic roll-out drawers, there’s no risk of them tipping over or sliding off shelves. The “lock-in/lock-out” feature keeps drawers securely in place during loading/unloading, preventing accidental movement that could cause injuries or damage. And because each drawer extends completely, you can access every sheet without moving other materials—cutting retrieval time by up to 70% compared to traditional storage.
For shops that use laser cutters, shears, or press brakes, these racks are a natural complement. You can position the rack right next to your machinery, so workers grab the exact sheet they need and move it straight to production—no more cross-shop trips with heavy materials. It’s a small change that adds up to hours of saved time each week.
Herochu’s Standard Pneumatic Roll Out Rack Models: Built for Power and Precision
Herochu offers four standard models, each engineered to handle specific sheet sizes and weight loads—so you don’t have to pay for features you don’t need. Every model follows Herochu’s naming logic: “HC” for Constant Storage, “B” for Board Type, followed by dimensions (in meters), number of layers, and load capacity. For example, the HC-B3015-63 means 3m x 1.5m sheets, 6 layers, 3 tons per layer. Let’s break down the specs to help you find the perfect fit:
Model Breakdown: Size, Capacity, and Ideal Uses
Note: The “5+1” layers mean 5 main storage layers plus 1 top shelf—perfect for small remnants or tools you need to keep handy. The 60mm depth pad height protects delicate sheets from scratches, while the ≤220mm available partition height fits most standard sheet thicknesses.
Every standard model shares core features that make Herochu stand out:
- Integrated Pneumatic Pull-Out: Compressed air powers smooth drawer movement—no manual lifting or cranking. Even fully loaded drawers glide open with minimal force.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Welded steel frames and reinforced drawers handle up to 6 tons per layer without sagging or bending. The powder-coated finish resists rust, dust, and industrial wear.
- Safety First: Lock-in/lock-out drawers prevent accidental movement. The elevated design (355mm ground clearance) keeps sheets off damp floors and reduces tripping hazards.
Customization: Build a Rack That Fits Your Workshop’s Exact Needs
Not every shop stores the same materials. Maybe you work with extra-thick steel sheets that need more partition height. Or your workshop has low ceilings that require a shorter rack. Herochu’s custom pneumatic roll out racks let you design a system that’s tailored to your unique needs—no compromises. Our team doesn’t just “adjust” a standard model; we start from scratch, asking questions about your workflow, materials, and space to create a rack that works for you.
Key Customization Options:
- Load Capacity: Need to handle more than 6 tons per layer? We reinforce drawers with thicker steel and upgrade pneumatic components to support heavyweights—ideal for foundries or heavy machinery manufacturers.
- Plate Size: Whether you store tiny 2ft x 2ft tooling plates or massive 25ft x 8ft industrial sheets, we adjust the drawer length, width, and depth to fit. No more cutting sheets to fit a rack—your rack fits your sheets.
- Number of Layers: Choose from 3+1 up to 10+1 layers. More layers mean maximum vertical storage (great for warehouses with high ceilings), while fewer layers make frequently used materials easier to reach.
- Partition Height: The standard ≤220mm height works for most sheets, but we can increase it to fit extra-thick plates or decrease it for thin aluminum sheets—maximizing space efficiency.
- External Dimensions: If your workshop has tight aisles or low ceilings, we shrink the rack’s width or height without sacrificing capacity. We even design narrow models for corner spaces.
- Accessories: Add label holders to track inventory (so you never lose a sheet again), rubber padding to protect delicate materials (like polished aluminum), or extra locks for secure storage of high-value sheets.
One recent customer—a laser cutting shop—needed a custom rack to store both 10ft x 5ft steel sheets and small 3ft x 3ft remnants. We designed a 7+1 layer rack with two drawer sizes: larger drawers on the bottom for full sheets, smaller drawers on top for remnants. The result? They cut sheet retrieval time by 80% and eliminated damage from stacking remnants on top of full sheets.
Why Pneumatic Operation Beats Manual or Hydraulic Racks
You might be wondering: “Why pneumatic instead of manual or hydraulic?” The answer is simple: efficiency and reliability.
- Manual Racks: Require physical strength to extend drawers—so only your strongest team members can use them. Over time, manual slides wear out, making drawers stiff or impossible to open. Herochu’s pneumatic system eliminates this: compressed air does the work, so anyone can operate it, and the components last for years with minimal maintenance.
- Hydraulic Racks: Use fluid to power movement, which can leak (creating messy, slippery hazards) or fail in cold temperatures. Pneumatic systems use air—no leaks, no fluid changes, and they work in any climate. They’re also quieter than hydraulic racks, making your workshop a more pleasant place to work.
Herochu’s pneumatic system is designed for industrial use. We use high-quality air cylinders and hoses that can handle constant use in dusty, busy shops. And if you don’t have a compressed air system? We can include a small, compact air compressor with your rack—so you’re ready to go from day one.
How Herochu’s Pneumatic Roll Out Racks Boost Your Bottom Line
It’s easy to see the immediate benefits—less time searching for sheets, fewer injuries, less damage. But the long-term financial impact is even bigger:
- Reduced Material Waste: When sheets are stored safely in drawers, they don’t get dented, bent, or rusted. One customer reported a 30% drop in material waste within the first month—saving them $10,000 annually on replacement sheets.
- Faster Production: If your team spends 20 minutes less per day retrieving materials, that’s over 16 hours saved per month. For a team of 5, that’s 80 extra hours of production—enough to take on more orders or finish projects ahead of schedule.
- Lower Labor Costs: With single-person operation, you don’t need two people to handle sheets anymore. That means you can reassign team members to more valuable tasks (like fabrication or quality control) instead of material handling.
- Extended Equipment Life: By keeping sheets organized next to your laser cutters or press brakes, you reduce wear and tear on your machinery. You won’t have to move heavy sheets across the shop, so your equipment works less and lasts longer.
