Herochu Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage Systems: Precision Engineering for Industrial Efficiency
Redefining Warehouse Logistics with Vertical Storage Innovation
Herochu’s hydraulically operated vertical sheet metal storage systems represent the pinnacle of industrial storage solutions, designed to maximize floor space utilization by up to 80% while enhancing operational safety and productivity. Engineered for warehouses and production facilities handling large-format metal sheets, our modular racking systems combine European craftsmanship (CE, ISO 9001 certified) with adaptive design principles, starting at $3,660 for customized configurations.
Core Advantages of Herochu’s Storage Systems
1. Space Optimization & Vertical Efficiency
- 80% floor space reduction: Our patented vertical orientation stores sheets in compact, accessible tiers, eliminating the sprawl of traditional horizontal racks.
- 35-second retrieval: Hydraulic pivoting allows instant access to specific sheets via four-sided loading (front, sides, top), reducing idle time by 60%.
- Proximity to processing stations: Minimizes material transfer, preventing damage and downtime.
2. Safety & Ergonomics
- Horizontal-loading design: Eliminates manual lifting hazards by lowering sheets to ergonomic working height.
- Stainless-steel reinforced frames: Built to handle 10-ton loads with anti-tip mechanisms.
- Manual/automated operation: Wireless or wired controls integrate with warehouse management systems (WMS) for real-time inventory tracking.
3. Modular Scalability
- Tailored dimensions: Adjustable frames accommodate sheets from 1m² to 6m² (custom widths available).
- Expandable capacity: Add modules incrementally as inventory grows, avoiding upfront overinvestment.
- Specialized solutions: Custom inserts for coated, perforated, or fragile metals.
