Herochu Cantilever Racks & Shelves Roll-Out Sheet Metal Storage Systems
Turn crowded workshops into precision hubs without adding a single square metre of real estate. Starting at $3,660, each Herochu system is cut, welded, and powder-coated to the exact aisle width, ceiling height, and forklift envelope you specify. CE, UE, and ISO 9001 documentation is supplied with every shipment so the rack slides straight into an active production schedule on arrival.
Running out of floor space? Raw materials being damaged? Inventory hard to find when it’s needed?
These three problems share one root cause: static, stacked storage. Herochu replaces that 1950s habit with cantilever frames and roll-out drawers that reclaim up to 70 % of footprint while eliminating sheet-on-sheet abrasion. The result is a tidy, traceable warehouse where every plate, bar, or tube is reachable in under sixty seconds.
Metal Storage Systems – engineered for the metals that pay your invoices
Sheet Metal Storage Racks
Whether you stock 1 mm aluminium skins or 25 mm armour plate, the drawer aperture adjusts so the sheet edge sits flush or deliberately offset for easy gripping. Each drawer rides on sealed roller bearings rated for 20,000 full-extension cycles at 3 tonnes. A positive locking latch holds the drawer in the open position, freeing both hands for safe loading and unloading. The same bay stores stainless, brass, plastic, or hardwood without modification.
Roll-Out Sheet Metal Storage Racks
The roll-out principle scales from single-operator crank-assist to full forklift integration. Manual tiers handle up to 1.5 tonnes per drawer; powered tiers accept 4.5 tonnes when paired with 5-tonne lift trucks. The deck is rubber-capped to prevent edge marring on polished stock, and every corner is radiused to eliminate operator cuts. When the drawer closes, the front profile interlocks with the upright to create a flush aisle face—no protruding handles to snag passing forklifts.
Cantilever Racks and Pipe Racks
Long stock—angle, channel, tube, bar—destroys pallet racking not designed for point loads. Herochu cantilever arms are hot-rolled I-beams welded to a moment-resisting column that transfers weight directly into the floor. Arms adjust on 100 mm pitch, letting you mix 300 mm stub arms for flat bar with 1,200 mm arms for 12 m bundles. Optional deck plates convert the same frame into shelving for crates or tooling. Each upright ships with pre-drilled baseplates ready for M16 chemical anchors; seismic calculations to AS 4084 are available for high-risk zones.
Storage Rack Systems Benefits – measurable, not marketing hype
Storage Density: A 10 m run of cantilever replaces 30 m² of floor stacking.
Production Efficiency: Retrieval time per sheet drops from 18 minutes to 2 minutes—verified on a Düsseldorf shop floor.
Employee and Material Safety: Lock-out drawers and enclosed cantilever ends eliminate falling-stock hazards.
Inventory Management: Laser-etched rulers on drawer fronts and colour-coded arm labels turn visual cycle counts into a five-minute walk-through.
FIFO Management: Roll-out drawers and adjustable arms enforce first-in-first-out without extra training.
Reduced Materials Handling: One forklift motion replaces four handlings; labour hours fall by 35 %.
Professional Appearance: Powder-coated steel in your corporate colour signals order to auditors and customers alike.
Customisation without delay
Send a sketch—hand-drawn is fine—showing aisle width, maximum fork height, and longest material length. Herochu’s parametric library returns certified drawings within 48 hours. Need ESD grounding for electronics-grade stainless? Extra-soft deck liners for painted panels? LED strip lighting inside deep drawers? All are line items, not change orders.
Certifications you can audit
Every heat of steel is tracked from mill test report to finished weld. Powder coat adhesion exceeds 120 h cross-hatch per ASTM D3359. CE marking covers EN 15512:2020, and ISO 9001 documentation accompanies each serial number. Optional seismic brackets are pre-engineered for zones above 0.2 g.
