Electric Drawer Type Sheet Metal Storage Racks

Herochu Electric Drawer Racks: Reengineer Your Workshop Flow, Not Just Your Metal

Tired of the constant, time-consuming struggle with raw sheet metal? The cumbersome lifting, the precarious balancing, the wasted floor space, and the safety hazards that come with traditional storage? The bottleneck in your production line isn’t always the machine; often, it’s the critical seconds and minutes lost in material handling.

Herochu introduces a paradigm shift in industrial organization: the Electric Drawer Type Sheet Metal Storage Rack. This is more than a shelf; it’s an integrated working cell designed to seamlessly connect your storage with your fabrication process. Starting at an accessible $4,890, this customizable system is the key to unlocking unprecedented efficiency, safety, and space utilization in your workshop.

The Core Innovation: Full-Depth Access Without the Strain

Imagine needing a specific 3-ton sheet from the middle of a stack. With conventional racks, this is a major logistical operation. The Herochu Electric Drawer system transforms this challenge into a simple, one-person task.

Our patented drawer mechanism is the heart of this transformation. When you open the robust, front-facing doors, they do not simply swing aside—they become an integral part of the retrieval system. The door profiles and the main frame interlock, creating a rigid, extended track. At the push of a button, the electrically driven shelf, fully loaded, rolls smoothly and safely onto these tracks, extending to a full 100% of its depth. Every sheet, even the one at the very back, is now directly accessible at your fingertips.

This design is ideal for both manual retrieval and integration with manipulators. Whether your operator is pulling a sheet by hand or a vacuum gripper is being positioned, the process is fluid and intuitive.

Engineered for Performance, Built for Endurance

We believe that industrial equipment should be a bedrock of reliability, not a source of anxiety. That’s why the Herochu rack is engineered with a focus on three core principles:

• Uncompromising Ergonomics: The days of straining to access heavy materials are over. The system is designed to be pulled out with its full rated load of up to 3,000 kg effortlessly. Strategically placed, comfortable handles and intuitive locks are positioned “at hand,” minimizing operator movement and fatigue, and maximizing workflow continuity.

• Inherently Safe Operation: Safety is not an optional feature. Our system includes integrated locks that engage when the shelf is both retracted and extended. Crucially, when a shelf is rolled out, the doors are automatically locked in place, preventing accidental closure and creating a secure working zone. This proactive approach protects both your personnel and your valuable materials.

• Unshakeable Structural Integrity: In a market of lightweight alternatives, Herochu racks are built substantially heavier. We utilize a bolted assembly with a minimum fastener strength class of 8.8, ensuring a rigid, vibration-resistant structure that will stand the test of time and load cycles. This isn’t just storage; it’s a permanent, stable asset in your facility.

Tailored Configurations for Your Unique Workflow

We understand that no two workshops are identical. The Herochu system is designed as a platform, highly customizable to fit your specific operational needs.

• Create a Laser Cutting Cell: Install the rack directly adjacent to your laser cutter. An operator can retrieve a sheet using a vacuum manipulator—often assisted by a jib crane for optimal positioning—and place it directly onto the machine table in one fluid motion. This arrangement drastically reduces non-cutting time and operator travel.

• Optimize for High-Volume Loading: Choose our Flat Shelf configuration to slide an entire palletized sheet pack into the rack in seconds, eliminating the need for manual restacking. Alternatively, our Universal Shelf with Crossbars offers flexibility for forklift or crane loading, accommodating bare sheets, sheets with separators, or palletized units.

• Maximize Vertical Space: Our Deep Shelf for Crane Loading is a game-changer for space-constrained facilities. Sheets are loaded into the shelf from above, rather than on top of it, allowing you to utilize the full vertical height of your facility without wasting an inch of aisle space.

• Enhance Logistics with a Mezzanine: The robust roof of the rack can be fitted with a multi-purpose mezzanine, creating valuable overhead storage for tools, fixtures, or consumables, further optimizing your workshop’s footprint.

• Establish Separate Work Zones: For the ultimate in process segregation, you can add doors to the back of the rack. This allows for loading from one side and unloading to the machine on the other, creating a clean, linear, and highly efficient material flow.
