Herochu General Sheet Metal and Material Storage
From US $3,660 • CE • ISO 9001 • Fully Customizable for Every Workshop
In today’s high-mix, low-volume metal-fabrication environment, floor space is money and misplaced sheet stock is lost revenue. Herochu’s modular General Sheet Metal and Material Storage line—ranging from electric drawer racks to heavy-duty cantilever towers—turns chaotic piles into a clean, traceable, high-density warehouse in as little as one weekend. Whether you store 1 m x 1 m aluminum blanks or 6 m x 2 m hot-rolled plates, Herochu delivers a plug-and-expand solution engineered to your exact footprint, load and workflow.

- Tool-free assembly; expand vertically or horizontally without welding
- Prices start at US $3,660 for a 4-layer starter bay—custom colors and dimensions included
Product Portfolio
- Electric Drawer-Style Sheet Rack (Flagship)
Imagine a filing cabinet for sheet metal. Each electro-mechanical drawer glides out at the push of a button, presenting one plate at a time with zero forklift contact.
- Load per drawer: 3 t, 4 t or 5 t
- Drawer length: 2.5 m, 3 m, 4 m or 6 m
- Vertical pitch: 120 mm, 8–13 drawers per tower
- Safety: dual-sensor light curtains, emergency-stop rope, overload clutch
- ROI: saves 2–3 labor hours per day and eliminates 90 % of sheet scratches
- Heavy-Duty Cantilever Rack
Ideal for long plates, slit coils or bar stock. Arms telescope hydraulically to eliminate side-loader interference.
- Single- or double-sided towers up to 6 m high
- Arm lengths: 800 mm – 1,500 mm
- Capacity: 1 t – 5 t per arm, uniformly distributed
- Anti-collapse mesh and end-stops ensure OSHA compliance
- Drive-In Pallet Rack for Bulk Sheet Packs
Forklifts drive directly into the rack, stacking up to 10 pallets deep. Powder-coated rails and galvanized base plates resist chemical wash-downs.
- Clear entry height: 3 m, 4 m or 5 m
- Lane width adjustable on 100 mm pitch
- Optional mobile base carriages increase storage density by 80 %
- Mobile Shelving System
Where floor space is ultra-expensive, rails embedded in the concrete allow entire rack rows to slide sideways, creating a single moving aisle on demand.
- Manual crank or 0.75 kW servo drive
- Load per mobile bay: 8 t total (including stored material)
- Safety light strips and acoustic alarms protect personnel

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose between drawer racks and cantilever racks?
A: Drawer racks excel for high-value sheets that must remain scratch-free; cantilever racks are best for long, heavy plates or mixed profiles. We can hybridize both systems in a single bay.
Q: Can I start small and expand later?
A: Absolutely. All Herochu uprights accept additional beams, arms or drawers. A single tower can grow from 4 to 13 levels without welding or downtime.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Annual visual inspection of safety clips and chain tension (on electric drawers). Powder coat touch-up kit supplied free of charge for the first five years.
