How many drawers should a shop start with? Match the drawer count to distinct panel SKUs you touch weekly, not to total inventory. Four to six layers covers most job shops.
Can drawers hold different panel sizes? Yes. Width and depth can be set per layer within the 800 × 800 mm to 6000 × 2000 mm envelope.
Is 3000 kg per layer enough for steel plate? It covers most 6-meter sheet in the 3–8 mm range. Thicker plate should be quoted at 4000 kg per layer with a heavier frame.
How do operators reach the top drawer? The top layer sits within reach of a standing operator on a standard 2100 mm unit; taller frames with six layers are loaded by crane or vacuum lifter from the drawer face.
Does the rack work with an overhead crane? Yes. The drawer opens clear of the frame so a sling or vacuum lifter can lift straight up without fouling the layer above.
How much can a single layer carry? 3000 kg as standard, with 2000–4000 kg available per layer by frame design. Units are quoted at 3–8 tonnes total working load.
Can the rack be built for a non-standard plate size? Yes, within 800 × 800 mm to 6000 × 2000 mm, and up to 2500 mm width on wider frames.
Do I need a crane to use it? No. The roller-track drawer is designed for hand operation at 500–2000 kg per layer. A crane simply extends the range to heavier plates.
How many layers are practical? Up to six as standard. Above that, overall height and building clearance become the constraint rather than the frame.
What does the warranty cover? Herochu provides a 5-year warranty, free spare parts, return and replacement service, and online technical support, plus graphic and 3D model design before production.
