Herochu Space-Saving Sheet Metal Storage Racks: Industrial Storage Redefined
The Floor Space Crisis in Modern Manufacturing
Traditional storage methods waste 30-50% of available vertical space in most facilities. Herochu’s CE/EU/ISO 9001-certified sheet metal racks transform this inefficiency through:
- Motorized vertical storage with Siemens PLC control (±1mm precision)
- Roll-out drawer systems for partial sheet retrieval
- Hybrid configurations combining forklift bays with manual access
- Load capacities from 2 to 15 tons per layer
Why Standard Storage Fails for Sheet Metal
| Problem | Herochu Solution |
|---|---|
| Wasted height | 12m vertical storage with motorized lifts |
| Material damage | Non-marring roller surfaces |
| Slow retrieval | 3-second sheet isolation with RFID tagging |
Advanced Storage System Breakdown
1. Motorized Vertical Racks – Automation at Its Best
- Smart Control: Touchscreen interfaces with inventory tracking
- Safety Features: Emergency stop buttons and overload sensors
- Energy Efficiency: 0.75kW motors with regenerative braking
- Case Study: Reduced retrieval time by 65% in a German automotive plant
2. Roll-Out Drawer Systems – Precision Handling
- Ball Bearing Rails: 25kgf pull resistance for smooth operation
- Partial Retrieval: Access single sheets without disrupting stacks
- Custom Sizes: Accommodate 60×120 inch to 12m×3m sheets
3. Hybrid Configurations – Ultimate Flexibility
- Upper Racks: Forklift-compatible for bulk storage
- Lower Drawers: Manual access for high-frequency materials
- Space Savings: 45% higher density vs conventional racks
Industry-Specific Applications
Aerospace Manufacturing
- Store 20-foot aluminum alloy sheets without deformation
- Humidity-controlled options for sensitive materials
Automotive Press Shops
- JIT-compatible systems feeding stamping lines
- Load-balancing trays to prevent material warping
HVAC Fabrication
- Corrosion-resistant racks for galvanized steel
- Modular expansion for seasonal demand spikes
Why Herochu Stands Out
- Tailored Engineering: 3D site surveys before installation
- Operational ROI: 50% faster cycle times, 30% fewer handling errors
- Global Support: Installation teams in 15 countries
