Double tower sheet metal storage

In high-volume sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting, and precision manufacturing, efficient, safe, and space-optimized material storage isn’t just a convenience – it’s a critical driver of productivity and profitability. Traditional storage methods often consume valuable floor space, increase handling times, and elevate the risk of material damage and worker injury. Herochu’s Double Tower Sheet Metal Storage System revolutionizes plate management. Engineered for centralized, three-dimensional storage, this CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certified solution delivers unparalleled automation, massive load-bearing capacity, and double the storage density, all tailored precisely to your workshop layout.

Unlock Unprecedented Storage Density & Workflow Efficiency

The core innovation of the Herochu system lies in its intelligent double tower design. This configuration fundamentally transforms your storage footprint:

• Double the Capacity: Effectively doubles your sheet metal storage capacity within the same floor space compared to conventional single-tower or racking systems.

• One Discharging Device, Two Warehouses: Maximize equipment utilization and minimize investment. A single, centrally located electric discharging mechanism efficiently serves both storage towers simultaneously.

• Flexible Discharge Options: Accommodate diverse workshop flows with both side and rear discharging capabilities, seamlessly integrating with downstream processes like laser cutting or machining centers.

Automated Precision for Enhanced Productivity & Quality

Herochu’s system goes beyond mere storage; it introduces intelligent automation to streamline your entire plate handling operation:

• Automated Put-Away & Retrieval: The system automatically stores incoming plates and retrieves them on demand, drastically reducing manual labor and handling time.

• Integrated Weight Detection: Automatically detects and records the weight of each plate upon storage, providing valuable data for inventory management and process control.

• Centralized PLC & Touch Screen Control: Intuitive operation via a user-friendly touch screen interface managed by a robust Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This ensures precise control, repeatability, safety interlocking, and operational logging.

• Dual Loading Flexibility: Designed for real-world logistics, accepting plates via forklift or overhead crane, adapting effortlessly to your existing material intake processes.

Robust Construction for Heavy-Duty Industrial Demands

Built to handle the rigors of industrial environments and heavy sheet metal loads:

• Massive Load Capacity: Supports 3 Tons (3T) or 5 Tons (5T) per storage layer, accommodating thick steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals.

• Optimized Layer Configuration: Configured with 8 to 13 layers (based on model/height), maximizing vertical space utilization.

• Precision Movement System: Utilizes high-quality linear guide rails and chain drive transmission for smooth, reliable, and accurate vertical lifting and horizontal in/out movement.

  • Vertical Lifting Speed: 9 m/min

  • Inlet/Outlet Speed: 12 m/min

• Customizable Plate Support: Tailor the support system to your specific plate dimensions and requirements.

Engineered for Safety, Certified for Reliability

Safety and quality are paramount when handling heavy materials:

• CE & UE Certified: Guarantees compliance with stringent European health, safety, and environmental protection directives.

• ISO 9001 Certified: Assures consistent quality in design, manufacturing, and service, reflecting Herochu’s commitment to excellence.

• PLC Safety Integration: The control system incorporates critical safety features and interlocks to protect personnel and equipment during operation.

Customization: Your Workshop, Your Perfect Solution

Herochu understands that no two facilities are identical. Our Double Tower Storage System is designed with flexibility at its core:

• Tailored Dimensions: Available in standard specifications (3015, 4015, 4020, 6015, 6020mm) to fit common plate sizes, with further customization possible.

• Workshop-Specific Integration: We engineer the system to fit seamlessly into your existing workshop layout, workflow, and material handling equipment.

• Scalable Investment: Customized solutions start from $6,600, providing a scalable entry point to automated storage based on your capacity and feature requirements.
