Let’s be honest—your current sheet-metal “system” probably looks like a Jenga tower after three coffees. Sheets leaning, aisles blocked, and every time you need that one 2 mm stainless plate you swear it’s moved to Narnia. Herochu’s Automatic Metal Sheet Tower Rack is here to end that circus, and it does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
What Is This Magic Tower?
Imagine a vending machine, but for metal. A vertical skyscraper—up to 12 m (40 ft) tall—that parks every sheet, plate, or even plywood bundle in its own drawer, then zips the right one down to waist height in under 60 seconds. No forklift ballet, no shouting “where’s the 6 m aluminum?” across the shop. You tap the touchscreen, the elevator grabs the drawer, and boom—your material is ready at the load bay, locked, loaded, and scratch-free.
Built Like a Bank Vault
- 5 000 kg (11 000 lbs) per drawer—yeah, that’s almost the weight of an adult elephant.
- 16 mm thick tubular frame on the main body and 12 mm on the lifting arms—basically tank armor for your warehouse.
- Triple-chain lift system and Ø 200 mm wheels mean zero wobble, even when the drawer is fully loaded.
- Monoblock structure keeps everything rock-solid, even if you decide to go double-sided for max density.
Space-Saver Superpowers
Floor space is expensive. Air is free. The Herochu tower uses every inch of height instead of chewing up ground. Single-sided version hugs a wall; double-sided version acts like a storage island, doubling capacity without adding footprint. In many shops we’ve trimmed 60-70 % of floor use, freeing room for an extra laser or press brake (hello, ROI).
Plug-and-Play Automation
Forget extra cranes or strapping a GoPro to a forklift. The built-in shuttle and elevator combo handle everything. Load cells inside each drawer scream if you’re over the limit, photoelectric curtains keep fingers safe, and the software spits out real-time inventory so you always know “I’ve got 47 sheets left, 2 m x 3 m, 3 mm mild steel.” Try getting that from a sticky note on a pallet.
Custom? Yup—Starting at $2 999
Need the drawer openings at 1 200 mm because your operator is 6’5″? Want fire-engine-red powder coat to match your brand colors? Or maybe you store both 3 m and 6 m plates in alternating drawers—no problem. Every tower is cut, welded, and programmed in our 16 000 m² factory in Jinan. Prices kick off at $2 999 for a single-sided unit tailored to your shop, and all machines rock CE, UE, and ISO 9001 badges to keep auditors smiling.
