Roll Out Drawer Storage Rack

Reclaim Your Workshop: The Herochu Roll Out Drawer Rack is Your Strategic Pivot from Chaos to Control

Imagine this: a 5,000-pound sheet of stainless steel needs to be moved from storage to the laser cutter. The process is a familiar symphony of chaos. The forklift is summoned, its high-pitched whine adding to the ambient noise. Aisles are cleared, colleagues scatter, and minutes tick by as the delicate dance of positioning and retrieval unfolds. This isn’t a moment of production; it’s a costly interruption. It consumes man-hours, devours valuable floor space, and introduces a palpable risk of injury and damage.

This scenario is the very problem the Herochu Roll Out Drawer Storage Rack was engineered to eradicate. This isn’t just another shelving unit; it’s a dynamic, high-density storage solution that redefines the relationship between your workforce, your materials, and your machinery. Starting at a strategic investment of $5,680, the Herochu system is a customizable backbone for your workshop, designed to pay for itself by transforming logistical bottlenecks into seamless, efficient workflows.

Beyond Shelving: The Engineering Philosophy of Total Access

Traditional pallet racks or static shelving have a fundamental flaw: they bury your inventory. To reach a sheet in the middle or at the bottom, you must move everything in front of it. The Herochu Roll Out Rack turns this outdated concept on its head with its revolutionary full 100% extension drawer system.

The Core Mechanism: Strength in Motion
At the heart of each unit are four high-capacity roller bearings that carry the entire load. Unlike flimsy drawer slides on office furniture, these are industrial-grade components built to support the advertised 5,500 lb. load capacity per shelf with effortless smoothness. This means every single sheet, every last piece of material, is presented to the operator fully and completely. No more straining, no more guessing, no more dangerous maneuvering. The entire drawer glides out on its solid steel frame, placing the material exactly where you need it—directly in the path of your overhead crane or forklift, eliminating the need for the driver to navigate into the rack structure itself.

All-Welded Construction: The Foundation of Durability
Compromise is not a word in our engineering vocabulary. The standard 84″ (7 ft.) tall framework and each individual shelf are of all-welded construction. This isn’t bolted-together hardware store kit; it’s a monolithic structure designed to resist the stresses and vibrations of a busy industrial environment. The integrity of each weld ensures that the massive loads you’re storing don’t cause rack sway or gradual deformation over time. This is permanent, unwavering stability.

The Tangible ROI: Translating Features into Bottom-Line Benefits

Let’s move beyond specifications and into the real-world impact the Herochu Roll Out Rack will have on your operation.

1. Drastically Reduce Machine Downtime
Time is the most valuable commodity in your shop. Place a Herochu Sheetmaster directly adjacent to your shear, laser, turret punch, or other fabrication machinery. The time between finishing one job and starting the next is slashed from minutes to seconds. The operator simply glides out the required material, the crane lifts it, and it’s fed directly into the machine. This continuous workflow means your high-value capital equipment spends more time producing revenue and less time waiting for materials.

2. Reallocate Precious Man-Hours
The elimination of the forklift driver for material changeover is a game-changing efficiency. A task that previously required a certified operator, a powered vehicle, and a cleared path now becomes a simple, one-person operation. This frees your skilled logistics personnel to focus on more complex tasks, effectively increasing your productive workforce without adding a single headcount. The labor savings alone can justify the investment.

3. Reclaim Your Aisle Way Footprint
Every square foot dedicated to an access aisle is a square foot not generating value. With traditional racks, you need wide aisles for forklifts to turn and maneuver. The Herochu system’s front-access design means you only need space for the operator, not a vehicle. This can reduce your aisle width by feet, not inches, allowing you to either pack more storage into the same footprint or open up the floor for other critical processes.

4. Optimize Manufacturing Floor Space with Vertical Density
Expanding your facility’s footprint is astronomically expensive. The smarter solution is to use the space you have more intelligently. By utilizing the full 84″ height and configuring units with 4 to 8 shelves, you are building a vertical warehouse. Clearances between shelves, ranging from a precise 5 7/8″ to over 15 9/32″, allow you to store a diverse mix of sheet materials, from thin gauge metals to thick plastic composites, all within the same ultra-efficient system.

5. Cultivate a Proactive Safety Culture
The most important benefit is the reduction of risk. Man-handling heavy sheet products is a primary cause of musculoskeletal injuries, crushed limbs, and material damage. By removing the human element from the lifting and retrieval equation, you create a inherently safer environment. The Herochu rack acts as a giant, organized tool, presenting material safely for mechanical lifting, protecting your most valuable asset: your team.

Navigating Your Customization Journey: A Guide to the Herochu Model Range

We understand that no two workshops are identical. That’s why the Herochu Roll Out Drawer Rack is built on a platform of intelligent customization, backed by CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications that guarantee consistent quality and international safety standards.

Our model numbering system is logical and descriptive. Take the HC-B3015-63 as an example:

• HC: Herochu Constant Storage

• B: Board Type

• 3015: Plate size of 3000mm x 1500mm (approximately 10′ x 5′)

• 6: Number of Layers

• 3: Load capacity of 3 Tons (per layer)

Standard Model Overview:

Your Customization Options:

• Steel Decking: Optional solid steel decking can be added to each shelf for storing smaller, loose items or components that wouldn’t be supported by the standard frame.

• Capacity & Size: Need a rack for an unusual plate size? We can engineer it. Require a load capacity beyond 6 tons per layer? Our design team can specify the necessary reinforcements.

• Color: While built for function, we offer customized powder-coated colors. This isn’t just for aesthetics; it allows for color-coding different material types (e.g., aluminum, stainless, tool steel) for instant visual management.

• Configuration: The number of layers, shelf clearances, and overall height can be tailored to your specific inventory profile and ceiling height.
