When your business depends on flawless sheet metal—from stainless steel coils to galvanized roofing panels—compromising on storage isn’t an option. Enter the Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage Racks: a robust, intelligently designed Roll Out Sheet Metal Storage Rack system that merges industrial might with operational finesse.
These racks are not generic shelves retrofitted for metal—they are purpose-engineered from the ground up. The HC-B series (including HC-B4015-65 at 5T and HC-B6020-610 at 10T) demonstrates this commitment. Each unit features a monolithic steel frame, bolted for serviceability and reinforced to handle dynamic loads far beyond typical warehouse requirements. The result? A structure so stable that it barely vibrates when a fully loaded drawer is rolled out—even at maximum extension.
The workflow advantages are immediate. Positioned beside a press brake or turret punch, the rack acts as a live feed station. An operator opens the door, pulls the drawer, and either grabs a sheet manually or signals a manipulator to lift it directly onto the machine bed. No more waiting for forklift availability. No more awkward tilting or sliding that mars surface finishes. Just clean, controlled access.
Full customization ensures perfect fit. Whether your sheets are 4×1.5m aluminum composites or 6x2m carbon steel plates, engineers will design drawer dimensions with +500mm tolerance in length and width to accommodate handling equipment and thermal expansion. Layer count adjusts based on average sheet thickness—six layers for thin gauge, three for ultra-thick plate—maximizing density without overload risk.
Safety permeates every detail. Drawers lock in both positions to prevent runaway slides. Doors interlock with drawer status to avoid collisions. And the entire system undergoes finite element analysis (FEA) during design to validate load paths under worst-case scenarios.
For facilities pushing spatial limits, the integrated mezzanine option unlocks a second functional level. Mounted directly on the rack’s roof beams, this platform handles palletized goods, spare tooling, or WIP inventory—all serviced by standard forklifts. It’s a brilliant way to exploit unused vertical airspace without erecting separate structures.
Maintenance is minimal. High-quality rollers require no lubrication for years, and all wear parts are modular for quick replacement. The powder-coated finish resists chipping, UV degradation, and mild chemical exposure—ideal for paint shops or coastal environments.
Across industries—from aerospace subcontractors to HVAC fabricators—this Drawer Type Sliding Sheet Rack has proven its worth. It reduces material damage, accelerates changeovers, and empowers lean workflows. In a world where precision and productivity define competitiveness, these Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage Racks aren’t just storage—they’re a strategic asset.
