Herochu Manual Steel Plate Shelves – Sheet Metal Storage Racks That Solve Floor Space Problems
When every square meter of your workshop carries a direct cost, wasted aisle space is wasted profit. Herochu manual steel plate shelves turn vertical height into productive storage, condensing sheet metal, aluminum composite panels, plastic boards, and even tempered glass into a footprint smaller than a single pallet position. Starting at $3,660, each rack is engineered, welded, and powder-coated to order, ready to reclaim floor space on the day it arrives.
CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications are not marketing decals on our frames; they are the result of third-party audits that scrutinize steel grade, weld penetration, deflection tests, and corrosion resistance. The same documentation travels with every rack, simplifying inspections for insurers and safety officers alike.
Engineering that respects both tonnage and fingertips
Our HC-B series begins with 4 mm structural steel uprights and 3 mm roll-formed shelf beams. Five adjustable layers plus one fixed base shelf give you six discrete levels, while a smooth manual crank extends each shelf up to 85 % of its depth. At full extension the rack remains stable—lateral deflection is held below 2 mm under rated load. A concealed interlock prevents more than one shelf from moving at a time, eliminating the cascade effect that plagues lighter competitors.
Load capacity is published per layer, not per bay, because we know a single 5 t sheet can occupy an entire level. Choose 3 t or 5 t ratings in lengths from 2.5 m to 6 m, all without changing the external footprint. If your workflow demands more, electric drive modules bolt directly to the existing crank gearbox and are controlled by a low-voltage pendant. The upgrade path is modular, so capital outlay grows only when throughput does.
Surface and hardware built for the long shift
Every visible surface receives an electrostatic polyester powder coat, oven-cured at 200 °C for cross-link density that outlasts wet paint in weld-spark environments. Optional ESD-dissipative finish meets IEC 61340-5-1, protecting sensitive electronics or pre-coated sheets from static discharge. Zinc-flaked hardware resists thread galling, while sealed bearings in the roller system shrug off metal dust and grinding grit.
Tailored to the way you actually work
Tell us the maximum sheet size you receive, the heaviest gauge you stock, and the reach limits of your forklift or overhead crane. We return a CAD layout showing aisle widths, retrieval times, and estimated ROI based on floor space recovered. Colors, retaining lips, fork pockets, and even RFID pockets for automated inventory can be added during production, not retrofitted later. Every rack leaves our plant fully pre-assembled; your crew only anchors four base plates and begins loading.
Typical configurations that ship weekly
HC-B3015-63: 3,000 × 1,500 mm shelves, 3 t per layer, 2,000 mm overall height—ideal for service centers feeding CNC lasers.
HC-B4015-63: 4,000 × 1,500 mm shelves, 5 t per layer—perfect for stainless and mild steel stock in job shops.
HC-B4020-65: 4,000 × 2,000 mm shelves, 5 t per layer, 2,500 mm height—accepts full-size architectural panels without diagonal loading.
HC-B6020-66: 6,000 × 2,000 mm shelves, 5 t per layer—stores shipbuilding plate or large weldments under a 10 t bridge crane.
Installation and support without surprises
Detailed anchor templates, torque specifications, and resin anchor kits are included. A bilingual manual provides lift plans for overhead rigging, and our technical team remains one video call away during first use. Warranty coverage spans five years on structural components and two years on roller mechanisms, extendable to ten years with scheduled inspections.
Reclaim the floor, accelerate the workflow
Sheet metal storage is no longer a compromise between accessibility and density. Herochu manual steel plate shelves give you both, in a package engineered for decades of three-shift duty. Request a layout drawing today and see exactly how much floor space you can solve tomorrow.
