CE / ISO 9001 Certified | Custom Workshop Solutions Starting at US$3,660
Stop stacking and start retrieving. The Herochu Horizontal Steel Metal Storage Rack gives fabricators, service centers and OEM plants a heavy-duty drawer-type system that turns dormant vertical air into profit-producing sheet storage. From 3 mm aluminum skins to 25 mm armor plate, every standard or electric drawer extracts smoothly, positions at ergonomic height, and safely delivers one sheet—or an entire nested kit—directly to your crane, forklift or laser shuttle table.
