1. Precision Metal Panel Storage Challenges
Precision metal panels—including architectural aluminum, polished stainless steel, copper, and specialized aerospace alloys—require careful handling during storage and transfer. Traditional static shelving or flat floor stacking often leads to surface scratches, corner bending, and surface oxidation caused by repeated sheet shifting. Furthermore, accessing a specific panel thickness hidden in a bottom stack requires time-consuming crane maneuvers.
The Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Sheet Metal Rack for Metal Panels provides a dedicated, high-density storage solution built to protect delicate metal surfaces while dramatically increasing storage capacity per square meter.
2. Q235B Dual-Beam Framework and Model Performance
At the core of the Herochu electric telescopic rack is a heavy-duty Q235B structural steel frame utilizing a dual-beam crossbar architecture. This dual-beam construction ensures high structural stiffness, preventing frame twist or drawer binding even when individual levels are loaded to maximum rated capacities.
Herochu Electric Telescopic Rack Range
| Model Reference | Panel Footprint (mm) | Drawer Tiers | Max Capacity / Tier | Extension Speed | Clear Space |
| HC-B3015E-63 | 3000 × 1500 | 6 (Customized) | 3,000 kg | 2.97 m/min | 120 mm |
| HC-B4015E-63 | 4000 × 1500 | 6 (Customized) | 3,000 kg | 2.28 m/min | 120 mm |
| HC-B4020E-63 | 4000 × 2000 | 6 (Customized) | 3,000 kg | 2.28 m/min | 120 mm |
| HC-B6015E-65 | 6000 × 1500 | 6 (Customized) | 5,000 kg | 5.27 m/min | 120 mm |
| HC-B12025E-520 | 12000 × 2500 | 5 (Customized) | 20,000 kg | 5.27 m/min | 120 mm |
Herochu standard configurations offer 5 to 6 storage tiers with 120 mm clear spacing between levels. Custom tier layouts and expanded vertical dimensions are readily engineered to suit specific warehouse heights and panel batch sizes.
3. 100% Full Extension Telescopic Drawers & Automated Control
The defining feature of Herochu telescopic racks is the 100% full-extension drawer mechanism. Powered by an integrated motor drive, selected drawers extend completely outside the rack structure. This exposes the entire surface of stored metal panels to overhead equipment.
Operators use ergonomic wireless remote controls to activate motorized drawer travel. Smooth travel speeds—ranging from 2.28 m/min on large-format models up to 5.27 m/min on heavy-duty series—ensure precise movement without sudden jerks that could cause panel shifting or surface rubbing.
4. Seamless Crane, Vacuum Lifter & Forklift Compatibility
Herochu electric telescopic racks are designed for immediate integration into modern material handling workflows:
- Vacuum Suction Lifters: Full top access allows multi-pad vacuum lifting frames to lower flat onto delicate aluminum or stainless panels, picking sheets without perimeter contact.
- Magnetic Bridge Cranes: Heavy carbon steel panels can be lifted straight up off the drawer bed, avoiding dragging friction.
- Forklift & Electric Hoist Operations: The 120 mm clear space and full-extension access permit safe fork entry or soft sling attachments when required.
5. Operational Advantages for Manufacturing Facilities
Installing Herochu electric telescopic sheet metal racks delivers measurable operational improvements:
- Up to 70% Space Reclamation: Concentrates horizontal plate stacks into high-density vertical towers.
- Zero Material Surface Damage: Eliminates drag scratches and edge impacts during plate extraction.
- Improved Operational Safety: Push-button motor drives eliminate manual drawer pulling and reduce operator exposure to moving crane loads.
- Streamlined Inventory Organization: Enables rapid material identification, lowering machine downtime and boosting overall factory throughput.
