Space is expensive. Every square foot of your fabrication floor costs money in rent, utilities, and lost productivity if materials block work cells. The Herochu vertical sheet storage rack with roll-out shelves addresses the space problem directly by storing sheet goods vertically while maintaining full access to every piece. This is not a static rack where sheets lean against a backstop and require wrestling to extract. The roll-out mechanism brings the material to you, not the other way around.

The core concept is simple but transformative. Standard vertical racks store sheets on edge in fixed channels. To remove a sheet from the middle of the stack, you must slide past the outer sheets, risking damage and worker injury. Herochu’s roll-out vertical sheet rack assigns each sheet or small stack its own independently moving drawer. Pull the drawer, and the sheet sits completely outside the rack’s footprint, ready for lifting with a crane, hoist, or vacuum lifter. No tugging, no tilting, no partner required.

Herochu manufactures the vertical sheet storage rack with roll-out shelves in three standard plate size configurations. Model HC-V2010-15 accepts sheets up to 2000mm x 1000mm. Model HC-F2513-15 handles 2500mm x 1500mm. Model HC-F3015-122 takes 3000mm x 1500mm. The number 15 in most model numbers indicates 15 layers as standard, though custom units range from 6 drawers up to 25 layers. Each layer has an available partition height of 50mm in standard form, adjustable to your exact sheet thickness during ordering.

Load capacity per drawer reaches 2000 pounds with a 2-inch loading space, and the drawers extend 100% of their length. That means a 10-foot sheet sits fully accessible, with only a few inches of overhang beyond the drawer front. The drawer slides themselves come from a German manufacturer known for industrial conveyor systems – not cheap hardware store slides. Herochu tests every slide batch for straightness and smooth operation before assembly.

What can you store in a Herochu roll out vertical sheet rack? The list includes sheet metal (steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium), glass panels, marble and granite slabs, foam boards, wood panels, plastic sheets, composite materials, granite countertop remnants, windows, door panels, and even large leather hides (with wire grid drawer option). The versatility comes from the open drawer design and available accessories. Solid backing supports heavy stone. UHMW strips protect finished surfaces. Wire grid panels allow clips and hanging.

The Dutch family business heritage behind Herochu ensures meticulous attention to detail. The original Netherlands-based company prioritized quality and service above volume, testing every new product comprehensively at their factory before release. Herochu’s roll out vertical sheet rack program follows identical protocols. Welds get ultrasonic testing on critical frames. Drawer alignment gets laser-verified within 1mm over the full extension length. Each unit receives a final load test before disassembly for shipping.

For shops that use overhead cranes, the Herochu vertical sheet storage rack with roll-out shelves becomes a productivity multiplier. Without roll-out shelves, crane operators struggle to hook a sheet that’s leaned against a rack. The hook has to reach past the top edge at an angle, often requiring a second person to guide it. With Herochu’s system, the operator pulls the drawer, attaches the vacuum lifter or sling straight down onto the sheet’s center of gravity, and lifts vertically. The sheet rises cleanly without contacting the rack. This cut retrieval time by 60% in one Iowa fabrication shop.

Customization goes beyond simple size changes. Herochu engineers can design a roll out vertical sheet rack for any sheet dimension from 48” x 96” up to 80” x 160”. Drawer configurations include solid backing (for heavy or abrasive materials), wire grid panels (for hanging items or allowing dust to fall through), extra slats (for small parts and remnants), and UHMW strips (for fragile or finished surfaces). For stone and marble slabs, specify the heavy-duty reinforcement package that adds cross-bracing and thicker drawer floors to handle concentrated point loads.

The professional service team at Herochu provides lifetime support. If a drawer slide wears out after years of use, replacement slides ship within two business days. If your material inventory changes and you need different partition spacing, the team provides adjustment instructions or on-site reconfiguration. For new facilities, Herochu offers free layout consulting to optimize rack placement relative to saws, shears, and laser cutters.

Installation documentation includes step-by-step photos and torque specifications for every bolt. Most customers assemble a standard rack with two people in four hours. Floor anchors are recommended but not required for racks under 2000mm height unless seismic codes apply. For mobile applications, optional locking casters turn the rack into a movable workstation – roll it to the shear, pull sheets, roll it back.

To order a Herochu vertical sheet storage rack with roll-out shelves, provide your maximum sheet dimensions, typical weight per sheet, number of different sheet types (SKUs), and available ceiling height. The engineering team returns a proposal within three business days. Standard racks ship in 2 to 3 weeks; custom sizes and heavy-duty stone versions take 4 to 6 weeks.
