Vertical Roll out Sheet Metal Storage Racks

Herochu Vertical Roll-Out Sheet Metal Storage Racks: The Definitive Solution for Organized, Safe, and Efficient Material Handling

In the dynamic environment of a modern workshop, factory, or distribution center, the efficient management of sheet materials is not merely a logistical concern—it is a critical factor influencing productivity, safety, and ultimately, profitability. Disorganized storage of smaller components, cut pieces, and valuable leftovers leads to significant time loss, potential material damage, and heightened safety risks. Herochu addresses these core industrial challenges with engineering precision and a deep understanding of workshop workflows. We present our premier series of Vertical Roll-Out Sheet Metal Storage Racks: a customizable, high-capacity storage system engineered to transform your material handling operations from a necessary burden into a strategic advantage.

Reimagining Vertical Storage: The Herochu Engineering Philosophy

Traditional sheet storage often involves horizontal stacking, which creates a host of inefficiencies. Retrieving a specific sheet from the bottom of a pile is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and hazardous task that risks damaging both the material and injuring personnel. The Herochu Vertical Roll-Out system redefines this paradigm. Our racks are not simple shelving units; they are sophisticated storage systems designed to hold your sheet metal—from full-sized sheets to precious scraps—vertically, on a series of individually rolling drawers. This fundamental design principle unlocks a new level of organization, making every single sheet immediately visible and accessible without the need to move other materials.

The primary utility of the Herochu Vertical Roll-Out Sheet Rack is the organized storage of smaller components, cut pieces, partial sheets, and leftovers resulting from cutting, punching, and other manufacturing processes. By providing a dedicated, systematic home for these materials, we empower our clients to drastically reduce waste, repurpose off-cuts effectively, and maintain a clean, professional, and safe workshop environment.

Unparalleled Features for Unmatched Performance

Every aspect of the Herochu Vertical Roll-Out Rack is designed with the operator and the material in mind. Our feature set is the result of meticulous research and continuous feedback from industry professionals.

1. Instant Visual Inventory and Easy Selection: Gone are the days of searching through piles. Each sheet, regardless of its size or shape, is stored upright and is fully visible from the front of the rack. This allows for a quick overview of all inventory, enabling operators to select the exact required piece in seconds, not minutes. This visibility streamlines workflow planning and simplifies inventory management.

2. Full 100% Extension Roll-Out Sliding Units: Each vertical drawer is engineered to slide smoothly on a high-performance bearing system, extending fully out of the cabinet structure. This 100% extension capability provides complete and unobstructed access to the entire contents of the drawer, facilitating effortless loading and unloading of even the largest and heaviest sheets stored within the unit’s capacity.

3. Robust Loading Capacity of 700 kg per Unit: Don’t let the sleek design fool you. Each roll-out unit is built to industrial standards, supporting a formidable load capacity of up to 700 kilograms (approximately 1500 lbs). This ensures that even the densest metal sheets can be stored with absolute confidence in the structural integrity of the rack.

4. Ergonomic Single-Person Operation: The system is meticulously engineered for optimal ergonomics. The smooth-gliding drawers, supported by eight precision bearings each, require minimal effort to operate. A single worker can easily pull out a fully loaded drawer, select the required material, and return it to its secured position. This design saves considerable time and labor costs, freeing your skilled workforce for higher-value tasks.

5. Integrated 3-Degree Safety Slope: To prevent sheets from slipping or falling during drawer operation, each storage compartment is set at a precise 3-degree backward slant. This subtle but critical angle ensures that sheets remain securely in place against the back support, protecting your valuable metal material from scratches, dents, and other damage while simultaneously enhancing operator safety.

6. Space-Saving and Workshop Safety: The vertical design inherently conserves valuable floor space. Their small and compact footprint allows them to be placed strategically close to operating equipment like laser cutters, press brakes, or punching machines, creating efficient work cells. By eliminating tripping hazards and clutter from floor-level scraps, the workshop becomes cleaner, more orderly, and significantly safer for all personnel.

7. Customizable Movement Configuration: Understanding that workshop layouts vary, Herochu offers design flexibility. Our vertical racks can be engineered with “front-back” (the standard configuration) or a “left-right” move style to suit specific spatial constraints and workflow patterns, ensuring optimal integration into your unique environment.
