Herochu Custom-Made Sheet Metal Racks for 4–6m Sheets: Safe, Space-Saving Industrial Storage
For factories, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities working with long, heavy sheet metal—whether steel, aluminum, or specialty alloys—finding reliable storage is more than a convenience; it’s a critical factor in safety, efficiency, and bottom-line performance. Standard storage racks, designed for sheets up to 4 meters, fall short when handling 4–6m materials: they lack structural support for extended lengths, risk bending or tipping, waste valuable floor space, and force teams into unsafe manual handling. Herochu’s Custom-Made Sheet Metal Racks for 4–6m Sheets eliminate these headaches, delivering tailored storage solutions engineered for the unique demands of long, heavy sheets. Backed by CE, EU, and ISO 9001 certifications, these racks combine durability, safety, and adaptability—starting at $3,660.
Why Standard Racks Fail Long Sheets (And How Herochu Fixes It)
The limitations of standard racks become unavoidable with 4–6m sheets. Most off-the-shelf systems are built for shorter lengths, so their frames and supports can’t distribute the weight of extended sheets evenly—leading to warping, sagging, or even catastrophic tipping. Manual retrieval of these long, heavy materials also exposes workers to strains, falls, and crush risks. Worse, standard racks force facilities to spread long sheets across wide, inefficient layouts, cutting storage density by 30% or more.
Herochu’s custom racks solve these issues at the design stage. Every system is engineered specifically for 4–6m sheets, with reinforced steel frames, load-distributing crossbeams, and length-matched supports that prevent bending or shifting. We prioritize both safety and space: our designs eliminate wasted gaps between sheets and optimize vertical storage, turning unused height into usable capacity. Whether your team uses motorized trays, forklifts, or vacuum lifters, the rack adapts to your workflow—no more compromising on safety or efficiency.
Tailored Design: Built for Your Sheets, Your Space, Your Team
Herochu doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all storage. Our Custom-Made Sheet Metal Racks for 4–6m Sheets are fully customizable, with every detail calibrated to your operation’s needs. Here’s how we tailor each system:
Material & Load Capacity: Strength Where It Matters
We start with high-grade structural steel, chosen for its ability to withstand the weight of heavy 4–6m sheets—from thick steel plates to dense aluminum stock. Each layer is engineered to match your specific load requirements: whether you’re storing 500kg aluminum sheets or 2-ton steel plates, the rack’s supports, beams, and tray bases are reinforced to distribute weight evenly. This targeted strength ensures long-term durability without unnecessary bulk, keeping the rack compact and cost-effective.
Tray Movement: Adapted to Your Handling Tools
Every workshop uses different tools to move long sheets—and our racks are built to work with yours:
- Motorized Trays: For teams prioritizing speed and minimal labor, electric drive systems roll trays out smoothly at the push of a button. No more manually tugging or lifting; the motorized mechanism handles even heavy 6m sheets with precision, reducing operator fatigue and injury risk.
- Forklift Accessible: If forklifts are your primary handling tool, we design racks with front or side-loading openings that align with your equipment’s reach. The tray edges are reinforced to withstand forklift contact, and the rack’s base is stabilized to prevent shifting during loading/unloading.
- Vacuum Lifter Compatibility: For extremely heavy or delicate 4–6m sheets (like polished aluminum or coated steel), our racks integrate seamlessly with vacuum lifters. We add clearance zones and stable lifting points to ensure safe, scratch-free retrieval—protecting your high-value materials.
Safety Features: Non-Negotiable Protection
Long, heavy sheets demand rigorous safety measures, and Herochu’s racks deliver:
- Anti-Slip Trays: Guide rails and textured roller surfaces keep sheets securely in place, even during tray extension or facility vibrations.
- Overload Sensors: Optional sensors alert operators if a layer exceeds its weight capacity, preventing structural stress.
- Emergency Stop: Motorized trays include built-in emergency stop buttons, giving teams instant control if issues arise.
- Ergonomic Access: Partial retrieval systems let operators extend only the section of the tray holding the needed sheet—no more reaching over or climbing near stacked materials.
Space Efficiency: Maximize Storage Without Sacrificing Access
Our custom designs turn cramped warehouses into organized, high-density storage zones. We use a modular multi-tier layout that leverages vertical space, with adjustable layer heights (from 300mm to 1.2m) to fit your sheet thicknesses. Aisles are kept narrow but accessible, ensuring forklifts or operators can move freely without wasting space. For facilities with irregular layouts, we design corner-friendly or wall-mounted configurations that fit into unused nooks—turning dead space into productive storage.
