Why Herochu Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System Outperforms Traditional Storage
Traditional sheet metal storage—such as ground stacking or manual pallet racks—relies on labor-intensive processes: workers spend hours locating, moving, and loading sheets, while valuable vertical space goes unused. Herochu’s Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System eliminates these inefficiencies with its computer-controlled automation and space-optimized design. Unlike static storage, this system integrates seamlessly with your production line (e.g., laser cutters, robotic bending lines) to enable unmanned material flow—cutting handling time by up to 60% and reducing human error.
What makes this system indispensable for sheet metal operations is its dual focus on automation and versatility. It excels at:
- Storing raw metal sheets (carbon steel, iron, aluminum) of various sizes (2000×1000mm to 3000×1500mm)
- Feeding materials directly to laser cutting machines, flexible cutting lines, and automatic punch centers
- Organizing finished sheet metal components for quick order fulfillment
- Managing surplus or leftover materials with dedicated trays to minimize waste
For facilities aiming to build intelligent factories, this Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System is the backbone of seamless, 24/7 production—turning disorganized warehouses into streamlined hubs of efficiency.
Core Specifications: Built for Automatic, Heavy-Duty Performance
Herochu offers three standard Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System models, each engineered to handle specific sheet sizes, load capacities, and layer counts. Every system is constructed from high-grade materials (iron, metal, carbon steel) with a powder-coated surface treatment—ensuring resistance to corrosion, oil, and workshop wear.

Game-Changing Features: Automation & Versatility
Herochu’s Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System stands out for its smart design, which combines heavy-duty storage with cutting-edge automation. These features transform how you manage sheet metal:
1. Computer-Controlled Automated Retrieval
The system’s core advantage is its integration with computerized controls:
- Intelligent Layer Selection: Use a touchscreen interface or connect to your MES (Manufacturing Execution System) to select specific sheet layers—no manual searching required.
- Seamless Production Integration: Automatically feeds raw sheets from the rack to laser cutting machines, robotic bending lines, or punch centers—eliminating manual loading and reducing production downtime by 30%.
- Post-Cutting Automation: After laser cutting, the system handles automatic unloading, stacking, and re-storing of finished sheets or leftovers—enabling unmanned, lights-out production.
2. Space-Maximizing Vertical Design
Traditional storage wastes 40–50% of vertical warehouse space. This Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System leverages vertical height with:
- 100% Accessible Layers: Drawer-style design (movable via forklift or automated truss systems) lets you access any layer without moving adjacent sheets.
- High Storage Density: By utilizing vertical space, the system increases sheet storage capacity by 60% per unit area compared to ground stacking—delaying the need for costly warehouse expansions.
3. Heavy-Duty & Durable Construction
Built for industrial use, the system features:
- Solid Frame: Carbon steel structure with reinforced drawer slides, supporting up to 2 tons per layer (customizable to 5 tons for extra-heavy sheets).
- Damage Prevention: Sleepers on pallets guide forklifts to accurately place/remove sheets, minimizing scratches or dents on valuable metal plates.
- Versatile Configurations: Available as single or double units (custom dimensions) to fit narrow aisles or open warehouse spaces.
4. Electrically Driven Options
For high-volume facilities, opt for electrically driven roll-out racks:
- Motorized Drawers: Automatically extend/retract drawers via motor, reducing forklift operator effort and speeding up retrieval.
- Remote Control: Operate the system via smartphone or tablet for added convenience, ideal for large warehouses with multiple rack units.
Unmatched Advantages: Transforming Your Workshop
Investing in Herochu’s Automatic Sheet Metal Warehouse Racking System delivers measurable benefits that impact your bottom line:
1. Labor Cost Savings

How It Works: The Herochu Automatic Workflow
Herochu’s system is designed for seamless integration into your production cycle, from raw material intake to finished product storage:
- Raw Material Storage: Use a forklift or automated truss to load raw metal sheets into the rack’s drawers. The system logs each sheet’s size, material, and location in the MES.
- Production Feeding: When your laser cutter or punch center needs material, send a request via the MES. The system automatically selects the correct sheet layer and extends the drawer for loading.
- Post-Production Handling: After cutting, the system unloads finished components or leftovers, stacks them neatly, and re-stores them in designated layers—updating inventory records in real time.
- Order Fulfillment: When a customer order is received, use the MES to locate finished sheets, then retrieve them quickly via the automated system for shipping.
This workflow eliminates bottlenecks, reduces human error, and ensures 24/7 production readiness—critical for meeting tight deadlines in manufacturing.
