Herochu Drawer Roll-out Sheet Racks: Solve Laser Processing Bottlenecks & Maximize Workshop Flow Starting at $5,199
Imagine this: Your Kentucky electrical enclosure plant just added a second CNC laser to meet growing demand—only to watch your automated storage tower grind to a halt, unable to keep up with material needs. Operators wait around for sheets, production slows, and that new laser? It’s sitting idle more than it’s cutting. This isn’t a hypothetical—it’s the exact problem one large enclosure manufacturer faced before installing Herochu’s Drawer Roll-out Sheet Racks. Today, their eight racks (forty-six drawers total) feed two lasers seamlessly, keeping material flow in lockstep with production.
If you’re in metal fabrication, electrical manufacturing, or any industry relying on laser processing, you know the cost of disconnected storage: wasted time, underused machinery, and frustrated teams. Herochu’s Drawer Roll-out Sheet Racks aren’t just storage—they’re a production partner, built to integrate with your lasers, adapt to your workshop, and stand up to the demands of heavy industrial use. Certified to CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards, they’re the reliable, customizable solution you need to turn storage chaos into operational efficiency.
The Problem Herochu Solves: When Storage Can’t Keep Up With Lasers
That Kentucky enclosure plant’s story is relatable. They invested in a fancy automated tower, but it couldn’t handle the volume of a second laser. Their work-in-process (WIP) sheet metal—up to 5′ x 10′ for enclosures—was stuck in limbo, and operators wasted hours waiting for materials. Then they switched to Herochu’s roll-out racks, arranged in a single battery with drawers facing the lasers. Overnight, access became instant: operators grab sheets with an overhead crane and vacuum lift, place them directly on the laser table, and keep production moving. No more bottlenecks, no more idle lasers.
This is the power of Herochu’s design: it’s not just about storing sheets—it’s about making sure those sheets get to your lasers fast. Whether you’re running one laser or five, our racks eliminate the “middleman” of slow storage, turning your most expensive machinery into its most productive self.
Standard Models: Built for Laser Processing, Designed for Convenience
Herochu offers four standard Drawer Roll-out Sheet Rack models, each engineered to handle specific plate sizes, load capacities, and workshop layouts. Every model features our signature Rear-Load Drawer design—a game-changer for efficiency. Forklifts load stock bundles from the back of the rack (keeping traffic out of the laser operator’s workspace), while drawers roll out to the front for easy access. No more maneuvering forklifts near delicate laser equipment, no more cross-traffic delays—just smooth, streamlined material handling.
Let’s break down each standard model to help you find the right fit:
1. HC-B3015-63: Compact Power for 3m x 1.5m Sheets
- Plate Size: 3000mm x 1500mm (ideal for smaller enclosures, brackets, or precision parts)
- Single-Layer Load: 3t (tough enough for thick steel, gentle enough for aluminum)
- Number of Layers: 5+1 (six total layers—maximize vertical space without sacrificing access)
- Partition Layer Height: ≤220mm (adjustable to fit different sheet thicknesses)
- External Dimensions: 3505mm (L) x 2280mm (H) x 2000mm (W) (compact enough for tight workshops)
- Door-Open Width: 3515mm (plenty of room for crane access)
2. HC-B4015-63: Step Up to 4m x 1.5m Sheets
- Plate Size: 4000mm x 1500mm (great for longer parts or higher-volume runs)
- Single-Layer Load: 3t (consistent strength for heavy materials)
- Number of Layers: 5+1 (same versatile layer count as the HC-B3015-63)
- External Dimensions: 4505mm (L) x 2280mm (H) x 2000mm (W) (longer length, same footprint width)
- Top Floor Height: 2195mm (optimized for operator access from the floor—no ladders needed)
3. HC-B4020-65: Wider Sheets, Higher Capacity
- Plate Size: 4000mm x 2000mm (perfect for large enclosures, panels, or wide-format laser cuts)
- Single-Layer Load: 5t (heavier capacity for thicker, denser materials)
- Number of Layers: 5+1 (still six layers, but built to handle more weight per drawer)
- External Dimensions: 4505mm (L) x 2280mm (H) x 2500mm (W) (wider to accommodate 2000mm sheets)
- Depth Pad Height: 60mm (adds stability for larger, bulkier bundles)
4. HC-B6020-66: Industrial-Grade for 6m x 2000mm Sheets
- Plate Size: 6000mm x 2000mm (the largest standard model—ideal for heavy-duty fabrication, large machinery parts, or high-volume production)
- Single-Layer Load: 6t (our strongest standard load capacity, built for the heaviest steel plates)
- Number of Layers: 5+1 (six layers of industrial-strength storage)
- External Dimensions: 6505mm (L) x 2280mm (H) x 2500mm (W) (designed for large workshops or dedicated laser cells)
- Top Floor Height: 2250mm (slightly taller to maintain easy access for longer sheets)
Every standard model shares core features that make Herochu racks laser-friendly:
- Integrated Pull-Out Drawers: Glide open smoothly with minimal force—operators don’t waste energy wrestling with stuck drawers.
- 355mm Bottom-Layer Ground Clearance: Keeps sheets off the floor (preventing damage, rust, or debris buildup) and makes forklift loading easier.
- Closed Design: Prevents sheets from shifting during storage or roll-out—critical for maintaining precision (no more bent or scratched material that ruins laser cuts).
Customization: Build a Rack That Fits Your Workshop
Not every workshop fits a standard model—and that’s why Herochu offers fully customizable Drawer Roll-out Sheet Racks. Whether you need a rack for non-standard plate sizes (bigger than 6m x 2000mm, smaller than 3m x 1.5m), higher load capacities (beyond 6t per layer), or unique dimensions to fit a tight laser cell, we’ll design a system that works for you.
Our customization process starts with understanding your workflow:
- Plate Size: Need to store 2500mm x 1800mm specialty sheets? We’ll adjust the rack’s length and width to match.
- Load Capacity: Handling ultra-thick steel plates that weigh 8t per layer? We’ll reinforce the drawer frames and rails for extra strength.
- Number of Layers: Want 8 layers instead of 6 to maximize vertical space? We’ll adjust the rack height (up to 5m total) while keeping every layer accessible.
- Color: Match your workshop’s safety coding (e.g., red for raw steel, blue for WIP) or brand colors—we’ll paint the rack to your specifications.
- Special Features: Need extra safety measures? We can add things like the Kentucky plant’s empty-drawer flashing lights—a simple but effective tool that signals forklift operators to replenish stock before operators run out. No more last-minute scrambles or production stops.
Customization doesn’t mean long lead times, either. We work with your timeline to deliver a rack that’s built to your specs and ready to integrate with your lasers fast.
Why Herochu Racks Are the Best Match for Laser Processing
Laser machines are precise, fast, and expensive—your storage should be too. Here’s how Herochu’s Drawer Roll-out Sheet Racks complement laser processing in ways generic storage can’t:
1. Uninterrupted Production
Laser operators don’t have to wait for forklifts to move stacks or hunt for the right sheet. With drawers facing the laser, they grab what they need in seconds using an overhead crane and vacuum lift—no interruptions, no downtime. The Kentucky plant saw this firsthand: their laser output jumped once material flow matched the machines’ speed.
2. Material Protection
Laser cuts require flat, undamaged sheets. Herochu’s closed drawers and stable design prevent sheets from bending, scratching, or collecting debris—so every sheet that hits your laser table is ready to cut. No more wasting material on flawed cuts, no more reworking parts.
3. Safety for Operators & Machinery
Our rear-load design keeps forklifts away from laser operators, reducing collision risks. The integrated pull-out drawers require minimal force to move, even when fully loaded, so operators don’t strain their backs. Plus, the ISO 9001, CE, and UE certifications mean every rack meets global safety standards—you’re not just buying storage, you’re buying peace of mind.
4. Space Optimization
Laser cells are often tight on space. Herochu’s vertical design lets you store more sheets in less square footage, freeing up room for additional machinery, workbenches, or workflow space. The Kentucky plant replaced a bulky automated tower with eight racks that took up less space but held more material—talk about efficiency.
