If your laser cutter, shear or press brake is only profitable when the right sheet is on the table in under two minutes, then the bottleneck is not the machine—it is the rack. Herochu’s new forklift-compatible sheet-metal pallet racking converts dead aisle space into dense, roll-out drawers that deliver 12 m steel, aluminum, galvanized or stainless-steel sheets to your forklift forks in one motion. CE / ISO 9001 certified, priced from US $3,099 per bay and fully customizable in height, width and load rating, this system lets one operator feed an entire factory without a second helper or overhead crane.

  1. 100 % Roll-Out Cassettes—No Crane Required
    Each bay houses five plus one independent cassettes (drawers) that extend 100 % on heavy-duty linear rails rated at 1–10 t per layer. A forklift slides its forks under the cassette’s fork pockets, lifts 20 mm and pulls the drawer forward. The sheet is now fully exposed for top loading or direct transfer to the cutting bed. No slings, no hooks, no waiting for crane availability.
  2. Damage-Free Transport & Storage
    Cassettes are laser-cut from 4 mm Q345 structural steel, then powder-coated 80 µm for lifetime corrosion resistance. A 3 mm EPDM rubber mat lines every cassette deck to prevent sheet scratching while closed. Side restraints keep sheets upright during forklift transport across the shop floor or to an adjacent building.
  3. Compact Footprint, Giant Capacity
    Standard bay height is 0–5 m, fully adjustable in 100 mm increments. One 5 m high × 1.2 m deep bay with five 10 t cassettes stores 50 t of sheet metal in 3.6 m²—an 80 % floor-space saving versus traditional A-frame racks. Add bays side-by-side to scale capacity linearly without widening aisles.
  4. Dual Loading Modes—Forklift or Jib Crane
    While the primary design is forklift-driven, each cassette also includes integrated lifting eyes. If overhead space allows, a jib crane can extract a cassette for direct placement on a flatbed truck or cutting table, giving you flexibility for off-site jobs or narrow aisle constraints.
  5. One-Person Operation, One-Minute Cycle
    Load sensing in the fork pockets confirms correct balance before the drawer unlocks. A spring-assist mechanism reduces pull force to <30 kg, allowing a single operator to cycle a 10 t drawer in under 60 seconds. The audible safety latch prevents accidental roll-back during transport.
  6. Modular, Bolt-Together Construction
    All components ship knock-down in a 20 ft container. Two technicians can assemble a 5-tier bay using only hand tools in three hours. Rails are pre-drilled for future cassette upgrades—add a sixth tier next year without welding or dismantling the rack.
  7. Customization Without Limits
  • Length of cassette arm: 550–800 mm to suit 2 m, 3 m or 4 m sheet widths
  • Load rating per layer: 1 t, 3 t, 5 t, 8 t, 10 t; mix ratings in the same bay
  • Drawer spacing: 150 mm increments for sheets 0.5 mm–25 mm thick
  • Bay finish: RAL 5010 blue, RAL 7035 grey, or customer brand color
  • Fork pocket height: adjustable for counterbalance or reach trucks

    Case Study: Midwest job shop replaced ten A-frames with three Herochu bays. Result:
  • Floor space saved: 210 m² converted to two additional laser cutters
  • Labor reduction: 1.5 operators reassigned, saving US $78 k/yr
  • Handling damage eliminated: scrap rate fell from 1.8 % to 0.2 % on aluminum
    Payback: 5.2 months.
