Drawer-type storage system of sheet and plate material for laser cutter

Reclaim Your Floor Space and Revolutionize Material Handling: The Herochu Heavy-Duty Drawer Rack System

In the modern fabrication and manufacturing workshop, efficiency is not merely a goal—it is the fundamental principle upon which profitability and productivity are built. Central to this efficiency is the organization and accessibility of raw materials. Sheet and plate metal, often cumbersome, heavy, and difficult to manage, can quickly consume valuable floor space and create significant operational bottlenecks. Traditional shelving and racking solutions fall short, forcing technicians to navigate dangerous leaning stacks or manually wrestle with heavy sheets, wasting time and increasing the risk of costly damage to materials or, more importantly, personal injury.

Herochu introduces a definitive solution to this universal industrial challenge. Our engineered Drawer-Type Storage System for sheet and plate material represents a paradigm shift in workshop organization. This is not merely storage; it is an integrated material handling system designed to empower a single operator to manage vast inventories of metal, plastic, or other plate materials with unprecedented safety, speed, and precision. Custom-engineered to the specific dimensions and requirements of your facility, starting at $3,660, the Herochu system is a strategic investment in operational excellence.

Engineered for Uncompromising Performance and Safety

At the core of the Herochu drawer rack system is a commitment to robust, reliable construction. Each unit is fabricated from high-strength steel and features a stable, fully-welded primary frame. This foundational integrity ensures the system remains immovable and secure under immense loads, year after year. The defining feature—the heavy-duty drawers—are engineered for flawless operation. They glide on maintenance-free, double-sided ball-bearing roller mechanisms, allowing for the safe and trouble-free manual extraction of the entire drawer to its 100% capacity. This full-access design means even the largest sheets stored at the very rear of the drawer can be reached and retrieved without strain.

To mitigate any risk when a drawer is fully extended for loading or unloading, each unit is equipped with an automatic rod locking mechanism. This critical safety feature securely locks the drawer in place, preventing accidental retraction and ensuring a stable, safe working platform for your team.

Unmatched Customization for Your Unique Workflow

We understand that no two workshops are identical. A true premium solution must be adaptable. The Herochu Drawer-Type Storage System is fully customizable, produced to your exact wishes and specifications.

• Format Flexibility: We tailor the overall dimensions (Length, Width, Height) to perfectly fit your available warehouse space, maximizing your cubic storage volume.

• Configurable Capacity: Specify the number of shelves and bays you require. Each shelf can be engineered to support impressive loads, from 500 kg standard capacities all the way up to 5,000 kg for the most demanding industrial applications involving heavy tooling dies or thick plate steel.

• Adaptable Drawer Flooring: As standard, drawers feature an open-floor design for use with forks or hooks. However, they can be constructed with solid wooden planks or reinforced steel plates upon request to suit specific material types.

• Advanced Options: Enhance your system with a range of professional accessories, including sheet support arms, reinforced protective edges, protective grilles, and even an electric drive system for effortless operation under extreme loads. Furthermore, the system can be provided with valuable storage space on its roof structure, adding another layer of utility.

Tangible Advantages That Transform Your Operation

Investing in a Herochu system yields immediate and long-term returns across your operation:

• Maximized Space Utilization: Achieve a significantly higher storage density compared to static shelving. The space-saving folding projection of the drawers means aisles can be narrower, as you do not need clearance for forklift maneuvering to access every sheet.

• Single-Person Material Management: One operator can effortlessly access, retrieve, and store a vast amount of sheet metal. This drastically reduces labour requirements and eliminates the need for multiple personnel for a single task.

• Superior Material Protection: Handle even the most sensitive, pre-finished, or expensive sheets with confidence. The smooth glide of the drawers and optional protective features prevent scratching, denting, and edge damage that occurs with traditional sliding or lifting methods.

• Enhanced Operational Safety: Create a safer, more organized workshop environment. Eliminate the hazards of leaning stacks and precarious reaching. The integrated safety locks and robust construction meet the highest industry standards.

• Crane-Compatible Design: The system is designed to work in harmony with overhead crane devices. The easy slide mechanism allows an operator to position the exact material needed directly under the crane hook for seamless and safe transport.
