Technical Specifications: Built for Heavy-Duty Performance
Herochu offers three standard models of Horizontal Heavy-Duty Panel Storage Racks, each optimized for different load requirements—with fully customizable configurations available upon request to match your specific inventory and space. Let’s break down the key specs that make these racks a workhorse for industrial environments:

Every model is designed to handle standard 3×1.5m panels, a common size in manufacturing, while the customizable layer count (available for HC-B3015-62 and HC-B3015-63) lets you adjust capacity based on your inventory volume. For example, if your workshop primarily stores lighter aluminum panels, the HC-B3015-61 (1,000kg per layer) offers a cost-effective solution. For heavy steel sheets or composite panels, the HC-B3015-63 (3,000kg per layer, 18,000kg total load) delivers the strength needed to avoid bending, warping, or structural failure. And if your panels come in non-standard sizes? Herochu’s custom configurations—from adjusted panel width to modified storey height—ensure the rack fits your needs, not the other way around.
Globally Recognized Certifications: Quality You Can Trust
In industrial settings, equipment failure isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a risk to safety, productivity, and your bottom line. Herochu’s Horizontal Heavy-Duty Panel Storage Racks undergo rigorous testing to meet international standards, holding CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications. The CE and UE marks guarantee compliance with European safety and environmental regulations, while ISO 9001 reflects our commitment to strict quality management systems—from material sourcing to production and delivery. This means every rack is built to the same high standard, with no shortcuts in durability or performance. When you invest in Herochu, you’re not just buying a storage system—you’re buying peace of mind that your inventory and team are protected.
Engineered for Performance: Durability That Lasts Decades
The true test of a heavy-duty storage rack is how it holds up in the chaos of daily industrial use—and Herochu’s design leaves no room for compromise. These racks are constructed from high-strength Q235 structural steel, a material renowned for its ability to withstand impact, heavy loads, and harsh environmental conditions (from humidity to temperature fluctuations). Q235 steel isn’t just strong—it’s resilient, meaning the rack won’t warp, crack, or degrade even when supporting maximum loads (up to 3,000kg per layer for the HC-B3015-63 model) day in and day out.
But durability isn’t just about material—it’s about design. Herochu’s racks feature reinforced drawer slides, heavy-gauge steel frames, and precision-welded joints that eliminate weak points. Individual drawers can handle up to 10,000 lbs (4.5 tons) of weight, far exceeding the needs of most industrial panel storage. This robustness ensures the rack delivers a lifespan of 15+ years with minimal maintenance, making it a long-term investment that outperforms cheaper, disposable alternatives.
Modular Flexibility: Adapt to Your Workflow
No two workshops operate the same way, and Herochu’s Horizontal Heavy-Duty Panel Storage Racks are designed to fit your unique workflow—not force you to adapt to a one-size-fits-all system. The modular design offers three key drawer mechanism options, each tailored to different material weights and handling needs:
Manual Pull-Out: Ideal for lighter panels (such as aluminum sheets or thin steel). The smooth-gliding drawers let workers access panels with minimal effort, no power required.
Hand-Cranked: Perfect for heavy loads that need easy handling by a single operator. The crank mechanism reduces strain, eliminating the need for multiple workers to move panels and lowering the risk of injuries.
Forklift Access: Designed for maximum mobility with ultra-heavy panels. The drawers are engineered to accommodate forklift tines, letting you move entire batches of panels from storage to production lines in one lift—saving time and reducing material damage.
Beyond drawer mechanisms, the “main/add-on” frame design lets you expand the system as your business grows. Instead of buying a new standalone rack when you need more capacity, simply add on modules to your existing setup. This flexibility cuts future expansion costs by 15-20% compared to replacing your entire storage system, making Herochu’s racks a future-proof investment.
Quantifying the Value: How Herochu’s Racks Deliver Tangible ROI
A great storage system shouldn’t just “work”—it should make your business more profitable. Herochu’s Horizontal Heavy-Duty Panel Storage Racks deliver measurable returns by solving the most costly pain points in industrial storage. Let’s break down the financial impact, using real-world data from our customers:
1. Time Savings & Increased Equipment Uptime
The drawer-style design (100% pull-out) gives you 100% selectivity—meaning you can access any panel in minutes, no stacking or shifting required. For a typical fabrication shop, this eliminates 1-2 hours of wasted time per day spent hunting for buried panels. That’s 30-60 hours of extra productive time per month for key machinery like laser cutters or CNC presses. At an average hourly rate of $150 for laser cutter operation, that’s $4,500-$9,000 in recovered revenue per month—enough to cover the cost of the rack in as little as 6 months.
2. Space Cost Savings
Vertical dense storage reduces your storage footprint by up to 80%. Let’s say your current floor stacking uses 500 square feet of space. Herochu’s racks would cut that to just 100 square feet—freeing up 400 square feet for new production lines, additional inventory, or office space. If your warehouse rents for $15 per square foot per year, that’s $6,000 in annual rent savings. For facilities considering expansion, this space reclamation can even eliminate the need for costly building additions—saving tens of thousands of dollars.
3. Labor & Safety Cost Reduction
The ergonomic design enables safe, one-person operation, reducing required labor by 50-66%. Instead of two workers moving heavy panels, one can do the job efficiently. For a team of 4 storage workers earning $25 per hour, that’s $800 in weekly labor savings ($41,600 annually). Even more importantly, the system drastically lowers the risk of workplace accidents. The average cost of a workplace injury (including medical bills, legal fees, and lost productivity) is $40,000 per incident. By eliminating unstable stacking and manual lifting, Herochu’s racks help you avoid these costly accidents—protecting your team and your budget.
4. Material Waste Reduction
Scratched, bent, or damaged panels are a hidden cost in many shops. Floor stacking often leads to panels rubbing against each other or being dropped during retrieval—resulting in 5-10% material waste. Herochu’s racks keep panels separated and secure, cutting waste to less than 1%. For a shop that uses $50,000 worth of panels per month, that’s $2,000-$4,500 in monthly savings on material replacement.
Applications: Where Herochu’s Racks Shine
Herochu’s Horizontal Heavy-Duty Panel Storage Racks are versatile enough to serve a wide range of industries, but they excel in environments where heavy, flat panels are the backbone of operations:
Metal Fabrication: Stores steel sheets, aluminum panels, and stainless steel plates—keeping them scratch-free and ready for laser cutting or bending.
Construction: Ideal for storing drywall, plywood, and composite building panels—protecting materials from jobsite damage and theft.
Automotive Manufacturing: Handles large metal panels used in car bodies, ensuring consistent quality and quick access for assembly lines.
