Key engineering advantages
- High-density storage: Each drawer extends 100 %, eliminating the permanent aisles that waste 30–40 % of conventional floor space .
- Dual drive options:
• Manual crank with 1:60 planetary gearbox—effortless for loads ≤ 5 t and ≤ 6 layers.
• 1.5 kW stepper motor + Siemens V20 inverter—remote-control extension, speed 4–10 m/min, acceleration/deceleration ramps protect sheet edges. - Structural integrity: Q355B frame, 6 mm reinforced drawer base, shot-blast SA 2.5, 80–120 µm epoxy-powder coat or hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor yards.
- Safety first: Lock-in/lock-out drawer latches, photoelectric over-travel sensor, anti-tilt interlock when multiple drawers are open .
- Plug-and-play integration: Pre-drilled interface plates allow direct coupling to laser shuttle tables, sheet towers or robotic gantry loaders .
Typical ROI case
A Dutch HVAC fabricator replaced block stacking with six HC-F3015-122 motorized racks. Floor space dropped from 210 m² to 95 m², retrieval time fell from 18 min to 3 min per sheet, and forklift travel was reduced by 38 %. Payback was achieved in 7.5 months.
