Storage racking system for metal sheets

Reclaim Your Floor and Protect Your Assets: The Herochu Metal Sheet Storage Revolution

Walk through any metal fabrication shop, and you’ll see a common, costly problem: vast expanses of floor space dominated by leaning sheets of steel, aluminum, and copper. This traditional method of storage is a silent profit-killer. It exposes valuable materials to damage, creates a significant safety hazard for your team, and turns inventory retrieval into a time-consuming, multi-person ordeal. The sharp edges, immense weight, and sheer size of sheet metal demand a storage solution that is as robust and intelligent as the materials themselves.

Herochu, a leader in industrial storage innovation, has engineered a definitive answer to this challenge. Our storage racking system for metal sheets is not merely a shelf; it is a integrated handling solution designed to transform your warehouse from a cluttered storage area into a model of efficiency, safety, and space optimization. Starting at just $3,890 and backed by CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications, the Herochu system is a strategic investment that pays for itself in recovered floor space, reduced product damage, and enhanced worker productivity.

The Core Innovation: Multi-Layer Drawer Architecture

The fundamental flaw of conventional racking is its static nature. To access a sheet at the back, you must navigate everything in front of it. The Herochu system shatters this paradigm with its pioneering multi-layer drawer design.

Independent Heavy-Duty Drawers: Imagine each shelf acting as a massive, industrial-strength drawer. Each layer operates independently and can be pulled out smoothly to present its entire contents. With a single drawer load capacity ranging from 500kg to a formidable 2000kg (customized to your needs), these units are capable of handling everything from thin gauge aluminum to the thickest steel plate, as well as other sheet goods like plywood or copper.

Unmatched Access and Organization: The moment a drawer is extended, your operators gain 100% overhead access. This is a game-changer for material handling. Whether using a vacuum lift, hoist, magnet, or forklift, the equipment can now approach the material directly from above, simplifying the pick-and-place process dramatically. No more awkward angles or dangerous maneuvering. Furthermore, an adjustable partition system within the drawers allows for flexible area division using movable dividers. This means you can create dedicated slots for different material sizes and types, preventing costly scratches, dings, and collisions between sheets.

Engineered Smoothness: A heavy drawer is useless if it’s difficult to move. Herochu utilizes a fully enclosed guide rail system, crafted from high-precision cold-rolled steel and bearing pulleys. The result is a remarkably smooth glide. Even under full load, the drawers operate with minimal effort, a feature often assisted by an ergonomic T-handle for optimal user comfort.

Built for the Rigors of Industry: Safety and Durability

In an environment where safety is paramount, the Herochu system is engineered to protect both your personnel and your inventory.

Structural Integrity: The main frame is constructed from welded Q235B hot-rolled steel, chosen for its exceptional strength. The surface is then treated with a premium powder coating or zinc plating, tripling its corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes. This ensures the system’s longevity, even in the humid, dusty conditions typical of metalworking facilities.

Proactive Safety Mechanisms: We have eliminated the risk of accidental tipping. Each drawer is equipped with an integrated anti-tipping device featuring drawer limit locks and anti-fall hooks. These mechanisms automatically engage, locking the drawer securely in place when fully extended and preventing the entire cabinet from tilting. Additionally, the drawers automatically lock when closed, ensuring everything remains stationary during transport or seismic events.

Digital Inventory Readiness: Transitioning to a modern warehouse is seamless with our visual label system. The exterior of each drawer is prepared for standardized labels, supporting barcode or QR code input. This allows for straightforward integration with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), turning your physical inventory into a digital, easily trackable asset and eliminating the guesswork from stock-taking.

Customization: A System Tailored to Your Workflow

Your operational needs are unique, and your storage system should be too. The standard Herochu configuration offers between 3 to 8 shelves, but this is merely a starting point. Our philosophy is built on deep customization to solve your specific challenges.

We collaborate with you to determine the perfect configuration, including:

• Capacity and Dimensions: Need to store 20-foot sheets? Require a capacity beyond 2000kg per drawer? We can engineer a solution to meet your exact specifications.

• Accessibility Options: Choose from single-sided or bi-directional models that allow loading and unloading from both fronts. For enhanced security and dust protection, folding doors can be added that close during storage and open seamlessly during drawer extension.

• Integration Features: Options like forklift risers elevate the system for easier pallet jack access, while rear loading capabilities can be incorporated to fit into specific workflow layouts.

Stop allowing inefficient storage to dictate your shop’s productivity and safety. The chaotic piles of sheet metal on your floor represent a hidden cost in damaged goods, wasted time, and potential injury. Contact a Herochu storage specialist today for a consultation.
