Herochu High-Capacity Sheet Metal Racks: Space-Saving & Efficient Storage Solutions
Introduction
In industrial warehouses and workshops, efficient storage of sheet metal and long steel materials is essential for maximizing space and maintaining workflow efficiency. The High-Capacity Sheet Metal Racks by Herochu address these challenges with their innovative design, offering dense storage, easy access, and enhanced safety. Customizable to your workshop’s specific needs and starting at $3,099, this system is backed by CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications, ensuring quality and reliability.
What Makes Herochu’s Sheet Metal Racks Unique?
Enhanced Design Features
Herochu’s Sheet Metal Racks are designed to handle long and heavy items like beams, pipes, and rods efficiently. The system’s robust construction and reinforced steel frames ensure that materials are stored safely and securely, even under heavy loads. Unlike traditional storage solutions, these racks are built to withstand the demands of industrial environments, making them ideal for warehouses and workshops that frequently handle large and bulky steel materials.
Dense Storage Capabilities
One of the standout advantages of Herochu’s Sheet Metal Racks is their ability to maximize storage density. For example, if each layer is 800 mm deep, the aisle can also be only 800 mm wide, allowing for more materials to be stored compared to standard cantilever racks. This feature is particularly beneficial for warehouses with limited space, enabling them to store more inventory without expanding their footprint.
Easy Access and Reduced Manual Handling
The integrated pull-out type drawer movement system allows items to slide out smoothly, enabling workers to reach materials without moving others. This design significantly reduces the time and effort required for manual handling, as single operators can pick materials quickly and efficiently. The PLC frequency conversion control ensures smooth and precise movement of materials, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Support for Long and Heavy Items
Herochu’s Sheet Metal Racks are specifically designed to handle long and heavy items like beams, pipes, and rods efficiently. The system’s robust construction and reinforced steel frames ensure that materials are stored safely and securely, even under heavy loads. This makes it an ideal solution for warehouses and workshops that frequently handle large and bulky steel materials.
Flexible Layout and Customization Options
The sheet metal racks offer flexible layout options, with trays or arms that can be adjusted to accommodate different material sizes. Herochu provides a range of customizable configurations, including different storage sheet sizes, loading capacities per layer, and number of layers. For example, the HC-B3015-63 model offers a storage sheet size of 3000×1500 mm, loading capacity of 3 tons per layer, and 5+1 layers, while the HC-B6020-66 model provides a storage sheet size of 6000×2000 mm, loading capacity of 6 tons per layer, and 5+1 layers. Additionally, the system can be configured to include single or double-sided racks, depending on your workshop’s specific requirements.
Safety Features for All Material Types
Safety is a top priority in any industrial setting, and Herochu’s Sheet Metal Racks are equipped with several features to ensure a secure working environment. Rails on trays or arms prevent materials from falling, even during full or partial retrievals. This makes the system safe for storing round bars, tubes, angles, and profiles, reducing the risk of workplace accidents and ensuring that materials remain organized and accessible.

Applications of Sheet Metal Racks
Steel Beams and Profiles
Ideal for warehouses needing dense storage of long beams, Herochu’s Sheet Metal Racks ensure that materials are stored safely and accessed with ease. The system’s robust construction and reinforced steel frames make it perfect for handling heavy and bulky steel beams.
Pipes and Tubes
Perfect for medium to large warehouses with frequent material access, the sheet metal racks allow for smooth and efficient retrieval of pipes and tubes. The integrated pull-out type drawer movement system enables workers to reach materials without moving others, reducing manual handling and improving workflow efficiency.
Sheet Metal and Bars
Works well when materials need partial retrieval without moving others, the sheet metal racks ensure that sheet metal and bars remain organized and accessible. The rails on trays or arms prevent materials from falling, even during partial retrievals, making it a safe and reliable storage solution.
Advantages Over Standard Cantilever Racks
Improved Storage Density
The Sheet Metal Racks offer significantly higher storage density compared to standard cantilever racks. By minimizing aisle width and utilizing integrated pull-out type drawer movement, the system allows for more materials to be stored in the same area, making it ideal for warehouses with limited space.
Enhanced Accessibility
The integrated pull-out type drawer movement system of the sheet metal racks enables easy access to materials, reducing the time and effort required for manual handling. Workers can reach materials without moving others, improving workflow efficiency and reducing labor costs.
Increased Safety Features
Rails on trays or arms prevent materials from falling, even during full or partial retrievals. This makes the system safe for storing round bars, tubes, angles, and profiles, reducing the risk of workplace accidents and ensuring that materials remain organized and accessible.
Flexible Layout Options
The sheet metal racks offer flexible layout options, with trays or arms that can be adjusted to accommodate different material sizes. Herochu provides a range of customizable configurations, including different storage sheet sizes, loading capacities per layer, and number of layers, ensuring that the system perfectly aligns with your workshop’s specific requirements.
Disadvantages to Consider
Higher Initial Cost
Sheet metal racks cost more than standard cantilever racks, making the initial investment higher. However, the long-term benefits, including improved storage density, enhanced accessibility, and increased safety features, often outweigh the initial costs.
Maintenance Requirements
Sliding trays need regular inspection to ensure smooth operation. While maintenance costs are low if the rack is manually operated, it is still an important consideration for potential buyers.
Not Ideal for Very Small Items
Short or small steel materials may need trays to store efficiently, which may not be as space-saving as the sheet metal racks. However, Herochu offers a range of customizable options to accommodate different material sizes, ensuring that the system can be tailored to your specific needs.
