Warehouses and industrial facilities that handle heavy steel plates face unique storage challenges that generic storage racks simply cannot address. Steel plates are large, dense, and extremely heavy—often weighing thousands of pounds per sheet. Storing them safely and efficiently requires a solution that can handle their weight, provide easy access, and maximize the use of available warehouse space. Traditional storage methods, such as stacking steel plates on the floor or using static racks, are inefficient, unsafe, and can lead to costly damage, corrosion, and wasted time. Our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack is specifically engineered to tackle these challenges, providing a heavy-duty, roll-out storage solution that makes storing and retrieving heavy steel plates faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before.
The defining feature of our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack is its fully extendable roll-out drawers, which are designed to provide complete access to every steel plate stored in the system. Unlike static racks or floor stacking, where operators have to move multiple heavy plates to reach the one they need, our roll-out drawers extend fully from the rack—allowing operators to load and unload steel plates directly from the front. This eliminates the need for reaching, lifting, or rearranging heavy materials, which not only saves time but also reduces the risk of operator injury and material damage.
For warehouses that handle large volumes of steel plates, this feature is a game-changer. According to our customer feedback, the roll-out design saves up to 70% of retrieval time compared to traditional storage methods. This increased efficiency translates to higher productivity, fewer delays, and lower labor costs. For example, a steel warehouse that previously spent hours retrieving a single steel plate from a stacked pile can now retrieve the same plate in minutes, allowing operators to focus on more critical tasks like loading and unloading shipments.
Durability and load capacity are non-negotiable when it comes to storing heavy steel plates, and our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack delivers on both fronts. We use high-strength carbon steel for the entire rack construction, including the frame, drawers, and support rails. This material offers exceptional durability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring that the rack can handle even the heaviest steel plates. Each roll-out drawer can support between 1 ton and 20 tons of weight, with a maximum overall load capacity of up to 100,000kg. This makes our rack suitable for storing everything from thin steel plates to thick, oversized sheets used in construction, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
The frame of our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack is fully welded for structural integrity, eliminating weak points that are common with bolted connections. This ensures that the frame remains stable and rigid even when fully loaded with heavy steel plates, reducing the risk of bending, warping, or failure. The support rails and drawer bottoms are reinforced to prevent sagging over time, even with constant use. We also use heavy-duty feet to distribute the weight evenly across the floor, preventing sinking or tipping—even in warehouses with uneven flooring. This robust construction ensures that our rack will stand up to the rigors of daily industrial use, providing long-lasting performance and reliability.
The roll-out mechanism itself is engineered for smooth operation and long service life. We use high-precision ball bearing guide rails that are specifically designed to handle heavy loads. These guide rails are made from corrosion-resistant steel alloys and sealed to prevent dust, debris, and moisture from entering—reducing wear and tear and extending the life of the mechanism. Even when fully loaded with heavy steel plates, the drawers slide smoothly and easily, requiring minimal effort from operators. This not only reduces operator fatigue but also ensures that the rack can be used efficiently by operators of all skill levels.
We offer three different extension methods to suit your warehouse’s workflow and operator preferences: electric extension, manual pulling, and automatic extension. Electric extension is ideal for heavy loads or high-volume operations, allowing operators to extend the drawers with the push of a button. This is particularly useful for warehouses that handle extremely heavy steel plates, as it eliminates the need for manual lifting or pulling. Manual pulling is a cost-effective option for lighter loads or smaller warehouses, where operators can easily pull the drawers open by hand. Automatic extension is perfect for facilities with advanced workflow systems, using sensors or controls to extend the drawers automatically when needed—streamlining the material handling process even further.
Customization is a key feature of our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack, allowing us to tailor the system to your exact warehouse space, steel plate sizes, and workflow needs. We understand that no two warehouses are the same, and a one-size-fits-all storage solution rarely delivers the efficiency or functionality you need. That’s why we offer a full range of customization options, starting with the number of roll-out drawers (layers). Choose from standard configurations like 5+1, 6+1, 8+1, or 10+1 drawers, or work with our engineering team to design a system with more or fewer drawers to match your steel plate volume.
The single drawer height is adjustable between 220mm and 300mm, allowing you to accommodate steel plates of different thicknesses without wasting vertical space. This is particularly useful for warehouses that store a variety of steel plate thicknesses, as it ensures that every inch of vertical space is used efficiently. The plate size of the rack is also fully customizable, with standard options including 2000*1500mm, 3000*1500mm, 4000*1500mm, 6000*1500mm, and 6000*2000mm. If your steel plates are larger or smaller than these standard sizes—such as oversized plates used in shipbuilding or small precision plates used in manufacturing—our team can design and fabricate a custom plate size that fits perfectly.
We also offer customized load-bearing capacity to ensure that the rack meets your specific needs. Whether you need a single drawer to support 1 ton of lightweight steel plates or 20 tons of heavy, thick plates, our engineers will calculate the required load capacity and adjust the frame thickness, support rails, and fasteners accordingly. This ensures that the rack is both safe and efficient, as you won’t be paying for more load capacity than you need, nor will you be risking damage by using a rack that’s underrated for your materials.
Color customization is another option we offer, allowing you to choose a color that matches your warehouse’s aesthetic or safety requirements. Whether you prefer a standard industrial color like gray, blue, or red, or need a custom color to align with your brand or safety protocols, we can accommodate your request. The rack is finished with a high-quality powder coating that provides a durable, scratch-resistant surface and enhances corrosion resistance—protecting the rack from the harsh conditions often found in warehouses, such as moisture, dust, and chemical exposure.
Our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack is certified to meet international quality standards, including ISO9001 and CE. This means that every rack we produce adheres to strict quality control guidelines, ensuring that it is safe, reliable, and built to last. We have a dedicated quality inspection team that conducts item-by-item inspections of every component, from the frame and drawers to the guide rails and fasteners. Each screw, weld, and interface is checked and confirmed repeatedly, and we keep detailed testing records for each batch of products. This strict quality control process allows us to trace and address any quality issues quickly and effectively, giving you peace of mind that you’re investing in a high-quality product.
Before shipping, we conduct multiple packaging inspections to ensure that each rack is protected during transportation. We use heavy-duty packaging materials and secure the rack components to prevent damage from shifting or impact during transit. This ensures that your rack arrives at your warehouse in perfect condition, ready to be installed and put to use.
Safety is a top priority in any warehouse, and our Warehouse Roll Out Steel Plate Rack is designed with multiple safety features to protect your operators and steel plates. The sliding guide rails are equipped with foot roll protection devices that effectively prevent drawers from accidentally slipping or overturning, even when fully extended and loaded. We also offer optional safety locks for each drawer, allowing operators to secure the drawer in place during loading, unloading, or maintenance. Additionally, the rack includes clearly labeled safety markings, such as maximum load indicators and pinch-point warnings, to ensure that your team operates the equipment safely and in compliance with OSHA guidelines.
The inclined plastic supports in the drawers prevent steel plates from slipping, reducing the risk of damage and injury caused by falling materials. These supports also protect sensitive surfaces from scratches and dents, ensuring that your steel plates remain in pristine condition—even after repeated handling. For warehouses that store polished or coated steel plates, this protection is invaluable, as it reduces waste and replacement costs.
We also integrate humanized details into the design to enhance usability and operator comfort. The optional board auxiliary device makes storing and retrieving steel plates of different sizes softer and more precise, reducing the risk of damage and making the process easier for operators. The ergonomic handles (for manual extension) are designed to reduce fatigue, even when pulling heavy drawers. For electric and automatic extension models, the controls are intuitive and easy to use, ensuring that operators can quickly learn how to operate the rack efficiently.
