Herochu HC-B3015-63 Durable Standard Rack for Heavy-Duty Metal Storage – Engineered Precision for the Modern Workshop
Every square meter of floor space in your workshop has a measurable value; every minute spent searching for a buried plate subtracts from margin. The Herochu HC-B3015-63 is a purpose-built, heavy-duty steel rack that converts idle vertical height into instantly accessible, damage-free inventory without compromise. Starting at $3,660, the system is fully customizable to aisle widths, ceiling heights, forklift reach, and color coding already in use, and it ships CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certified for immediate integration into European, North-American, and Asian facilities alike.
Rigid Core, Modular Skin
Fabricated from low-carbon structural steel and finished with a thermoset powder coat rated for 1,000-hour salt-spray resistance, the rack delivers 3 tonnes of safe working load per layer across six independent drawer levels. Span lengths adjust between 6.5 m and 12.5 m without cutting or welding; upright frames remain unchanged. Corrosion protection, anti-rust inhibitors, and ESD-safe grounding points are standard, making the unit equally at home in coastal plants, high-humidity die shops, and electronics-grade clean rooms.
Drive-In, Drive-Through, or Automated Retrieval – One Frame Fits All
The same upright assembly accepts three handling philosophies. Drive-In modules let a single forklift lane service up to twelve pallet positions deep. Drive-Through frames create a continuous tunnel for first-in-first-out workflows. For lights-out operations, integrated rail sockets accept shuttle carriers or AGV forks without secondary brackets. When growth demands a full AS/RS conversion, the existing rack becomes the load-bearing skeleton, eliminating re-anchoring costs.
Drawer Architecture – The End of Bottom-Sheet Archaeology
Traditional stacking forces you to lift four tons of inventory just to reach one sheet. Herochu’s independent, full-extension drawers eliminate that ritual. Each drawer glides on sealed bearings rated for 20,000 cycles at full load, revealing 100 % of stored material in a single pull. A four-position mechanical stop prevents accidental roll-out, while a recessed toe guard shields operators from pinch points. The flat, level deck is rubber-capped to prevent edge marring on polished stainless, aluminum, or pre-coated stock.
Layer Capacity That Scales With Your Fleet
Standard configuration supports 3 T per drawer. Optional reinforcement kits raise capacity to 4.5 T when paired with ≥5 T forklifts. Manual crank-assist handles make 3 T drawers moveable by a single operator without powered equipment; geared reduction keeps pull force under 25 kg. Color-coded label strips and laser-engraved thickness scales on every drawer edge accelerate stock audits and prevent mix-ups across multi-shift operations.
Installation & Footprint Flexibility
The rack ships knock-down to minimize freight cost. Assembly requires only two technicians, a cordless impact driver, and the included torque-key set. Baseplates anchor to existing concrete with M16 chemical anchors; seismic brackets are available for regions above 0.2 g. Countertop mounting is supported for mezzanine applications, while optional casters convert any bay into a mobile staging station during changeovers.
Custom Sizing Without Custom Lead Times
Herochu maintains a parametric design library that outputs shop drawings within two business days. Whether your longest plate is 2,500 × 6,000 mm or your tallest lift truck peaks at 4.2 m, upright height, beam spacing, and deck length adapt without re-tooling. Custom colors are batch-matched from RAL or Pantone swatches and cured in-line, so a ten-bay order receives the same shade consistency as a single-bay sample.
Real-World ROI
A mid-size fabricator in Düsseldorf replaced floor stacking with twelve HC-B3015-63 bays. Floor space recovered: 42 %. Average retrieval time per sheet: reduced from 18 minutes to 2 minutes. Damage returns on 1.5 mm stainless dropped to zero within the first quarter. Payback period: 11 months based solely on labor savings and scrap reduction.
Compliance & Documentation
Every rack leaves the plant with mill certificates for steel chemistry, powder coat adhesion tests, and a serialized load table. The CE mark covers EN 15512:2020, while ISO 9001 documentation guarantees traceability from raw billet to final packaging. Optional seismic calculations to AS 4084 are available for Pacific Rim installations.
