When it comes to storing sheet metal, numbers matter—how much weight they hold, how much space they save, and how much time they save your team. Herochu’s Horizontal Sheet Metal Storage Racks are designed with these numbers in mind, creating a storage solution that transforms chaotic workshops into organized, efficient spaces. Let’s break down the key numbers and features that make these racks a game-changer for industrial storage.
The Numbers That Define Durability & Capacity
Let’s start with the heavy hitters: capacity numbers that matter for your operation. Each roll-out drawer in Herochu’s horizontal rack can handle up to 3 US tons per drawer—that’s enough to store thick steel sheets, heavy aluminum plates, or bulky stainless steel sheets without breaking a sweat. Need more? No problem—additional loading capacity is available on demand, making these racks adaptable to your heaviest materials.
When it comes to size, these racks mean business. They can store metal sheets up to 144 inches in length—plenty of space for standard and oversized sheet metal products. Whether you’re working with galvanized sheets, steel plates, or aluminum sheets, these racks have the length and strength to keep them secure.
Space-Saving Numbers: Compact Storage That Maximizes Square Footage
Wasting floor space costs money, and Herochu’s horizontal racks are built to solve that. Thanks to their compact design, they maximize storage capacity per square foot—meaning you can store more sheets in less space. Even better, when combined with Herochu’s metal sheet forklift rack, you’ll boost your storage density even further, turning unused vertical space into valuable storage real estate.
The 100% extendable roll-out drawers are a key number here—no more digging through piles or moving multiple sheets to reach the one you need. Every drawer rolls completely out of the rack, giving you direct access to every sheet, every time. This isn’t just convenient; it’s a time-saver that reduces labor hours and keeps your team moving efficiently.
Safety & Efficiency By The Numbers
Safety and efficiency go hand in hand, and these racks deliver both in measurable ways. With 100% extendable drawers, you eliminate the need for climbing or reaching over stacked materials—cutting down on accidents and injuries. The steel construction adds another layer of safety, providing a durable frame that keeps sheets secure, even in busy industrial environments.
Here’s a number your team will love: only 1 person is needed for handling sheets. Thanks to the roll-out design and compatibility with vacuum lifters, cranes, or forklifts, one team member can easily load or unload sheets without extra help. This cuts labor time significantly, letting your team focus on more important tasks instead of wrestling with heavy materials.
Versatility Numbers: Storage For Every Material
Herochu’s horizontal racks aren’t limited to one type of material—they’re built to handle them all. Whether you’re storing steel sheets, aluminum sheets, stainless steel sheets, or galvanized sheets, these racks provide secure, organized storage. The four-sided access design adds another layer of versatility, making it easy to load or unload from any side, regardless of your workshop layout.
Installation is quick too, thanks to supplied lag down points that get your rack up and running in no time. No complicated setup, no wasted hours—just a storage system that’s ready to work when you are.
Why Numbers Matter For Your Operation
At the end of the day, these numbers translate to real benefits for your business: 3 tons of capacity per drawer means fewer racks cluttering your space. 144 inches of length means no more bending or cutting sheets to fit. 100% extendable drawers mean less labor time and fewer injuries. And compact storage means more room for other equipment and workflows.
Herochu’s Horizontal Sheet Metal Storage Racks aren’t just about storing metal—they’re about storing it smarter. With numbers that prioritize strength, efficiency, and safety, these racks turn disorganized storage into a competitive advantage. Whether you’re running a manufacturing plant, a construction workshop, or a metal fabrication shop, these racks deliver the numbers that matter most: more storage, less labor, and a safer workplace.
