Certified to CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards, this warehouse is fully customizable to fit your workshop’s layout, with prices starting at $57,200. Whether you’re storing thousands of sheet metal units or feeding materials to high-volume laser cutting lines, Herochu’s solution delivers unmatched storage density, safety, and long-term value.
Why Herochu’s Large Capacity Warehouse Outperforms Traditional Storage
Manufacturers relying on traditional sheet metal storage face persistent inefficiencies that hurt productivity and profitability. Let’s break down the limitations of conventional methods—and how Herochu’s Large Capacity Heavy duty sheet metal Warehouse addresses them:
- Ground Stacking: Wastes 30-40% of usable vertical space, leading to cluttered floors, difficult material retrieval, and a high risk of sheet damage (e.g., bending, scratching) from stacked weight.
- Vertical Shelving: Tops out at 50% space efficiency, as wide aisles are required for manual or forklift access—limiting how many sheets you can store per square meter.
- Cantilever Racks: Leaves valuable overhead clearance unused above stored materials, failing to maximize vertical capacity, and often struggles with ultra-heavy sheets (3T+ per layer).
Herochu’s Large Capacity Heavy duty sheet metal Warehouse eliminates these flaws with a design built for industrial scale. It leverages every inch of vertical space, cuts aisle width requirements via intelligent material handling, and supports up to 5T per layer—doubling or tripling your sheet storage capacity compared to traditional methods. What’s more, it integrates automation to reduce manual labor, minimize errors, and keep up with high-volume production schedules—making it the ideal choice for manufacturers scaling their operations.
Core Specifications: Built for Large Capacity & Heavy-Duty Performance
Herochu’s Large Capacity Heavy duty sheet metal Warehouse is engineered to handle the demands of industrial sheet metal storage, with specs that prioritize capacity, speed, and durability. Every component is crafted from high-grade steel (carbon steel, iron) with corrosion-resistant treatments, ensuring it withstands the rigors of workshop environments (humidity, oil, constant use) for 15+ years.
| Key Specification | Details |
| Sheet Size Compatibility | 3015mm, 4015mm, 4020mm, 6015mm, 6020mm, 6025mm (custom sizes available for oversized sheets) |
| Number of Floors | 8-13 floors (customizable to 15+ floors for extra-tall warehouses) |
| Load per Layer | 3T or 5T (upgradeable to 8T for ultra-heavy sheet metal) |
| Mode of Movement | Linear guide rail + chain system—ensures smooth, precise movement of sheet-carrying drawers or pallets, even with full heavy loads |
| Transmission Mode | Chain drive—delivers reliable power for consistent material movement, reducing downtime from mechanical failures |
| Vertical Lifting Speed | 9m/min—speeds up vertical retrieval of sheets from upper floors, cutting wait times for production lines |
| Inlet/Outlet Speed | 12m/min—fast loading/unloading to keep up with high-volume operations (e.g., feeding 100+ sheets per hour to laser cutters) |
| Plate Support | Optional custom supports (e.g., padded sleepers, anti-slip mats) to protect delicate or high-value sheet metal from damage |
| Certifications | CE, UE, ISO 9001—ensures compliance with global safety and quality standards, avoiding customs delays or operational risks |
These specs aren’t just numbers—they translate to real-world efficiency. For example, a 10-floor warehouse with 5T per layer can store up to 50T of sheet metal in the same floor space that traditional vertical shelving would use for 20T. The fast lifting and inlet/outlet speeds mean your production line never waits for materials, while the heavy-duty load capacity eliminates concerns about overloading or structural failure.
Game-Changing Features: Automation & Intelligent Integration
Herochu’s Large Capacity Heavy duty sheet metal Warehouse isn’t just a “storage box”—it’s a smart system that integrates with your production workflow to enable unmanned operations and real-time inventory management. These features set it apart from generic large-capacity storage:
1. Intelligent Material Warehouse System
Designed specifically for metal sheet storage, the system uses computer controls to:
- Auto-Classify Sheets: Sort sheets by size, material type (carbon steel, aluminum), or production stage (raw, in-progress, finished) for easy retrieval.
- MES Integration: Connect to your Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to track inventory in real time—no more manual counts. The system logs when sheets are added, used, or returned, giving you full visibility into stock levels and reducing the risk of stockouts or overordering.
- Unmanned Production Support: Link to laser cutting machines, robotic bending lines, and automatic punch centers. The warehouse automatically feeds raw sheets to these machines and retrieves finished components or leftovers—enabling 24/7 lights-out production.
2. Space-Maximizing Vertical Design
Every inch of vertical space is utilized to boost storage density:
- 100% Vertical Utilization: Unlike cantilever racks or vertical shelving, the warehouse uses all available overhead space (up to 13+ floors), increasing sheet storage capacity by 60-80% per unit area.
- Narrow Aisles: The linear guide rail + chain movement system reduces aisle width requirements by 30% compared to traditional forklift-accessed storage—freeing up floor space for more sheets or additional production equipment.
3. Heavy-Duty & Damage-Resistant Construction
Built to handle industrial abuse, the warehouse features:
- Reinforced Frames: Carbon steel frames with extra bracing to support 3T-5T per layer, even with constant loading/unloading.
- Precision Material Handling: Sleepers on pallets and smooth chain-driven movement ensure sheets are placed/removed without scratches, dents, or bending—preserving product quality and reducing waste.
- Corrosion Protection: Powder-coated or galvanized surface treatments resist rust and oil damage, making the warehouse suitable for humid or oil-rich workshop environments.
4. Seamless Production Line Integration
For manufacturers with high-volume operations, the warehouse acts as a “material hub” for the entire production cycle:
- Automatic Feeding: Pair the warehouse with a double-beam truss loading/unloading machine. The truss retrieves raw sheets from the warehouse and delivers them directly to laser cutting equipment—eliminating manual forklift trips.
- Post-Cutting Automation: After cutting, the truss unloads finished sheets or leftovers, stacks them neatly, and returns them to the warehouse’s designated floors—updating inventory records automatically.
- Quick Order Fulfillment: When a customer order is received, the MES locates the required finished sheets in the warehouse, and the system retrieves them in minutes for shipping—cutting order processing time by 40%.
Unmatched Advantages: Transforming Your Sheet Metal Operations
Investing in Herochu’s Large Capacity Heavy duty sheet metal Warehouse delivers tangible benefits that impact your bottom line—far beyond just “more storage space.” Here’s how it transforms your workshop:
1. Massive Storage Capacity, Minimal Footprint
By maximizing vertical space and reducing aisle width, the warehouse increases sheet storage capacity by 60-80% per square meter. For example, a 500㎡ warehouse can store up to 250T of sheet metal (5T per layer × 10 layers × 5 bays)—compared to just 100T with traditional vertical shelving. This delays the need for costly warehouse expansions, saving you tens of thousands of dollars in real estate or construction costs.
