Herochu Heavy Duty Forklift Steel Plates Storage Rack: Built for Durability, Designed for Your Workshop

Why Herochu’s Forklift Steel Plate Rack Stands Out

When it comes to storing and transporting heavy plates—whether steel, aluminum, wood, or plastic—strength and reliability are non-negotiable. Herochu’s design team didn’t cut corners: every rack is engineered to handle the rigors of industrial use, from daily forklift handling to long-term outdoor or warehouse storage. Let’s break down what makes this product a must-have for businesses prioritizing efficiency and durability.

1. Structural Strength That Handles 1–5 Tons (No Compromises)

At the core of this rack is a high-strength Q235B hot-rolled steel frame—the same material trusted in construction and heavy machinery for its ability to withstand extreme loads without bending or warping. The main frame is welded with precision, using crossbeams and longitudinal beams arranged in a grid or diamond-shaped pattern to distribute weight evenly. This isn’t just about “supporting” plates—it’s about keeping them stable, even when stacked or moved across rough warehouse floors.

Every rack is rated to carry 1–5 tons, depending on your chosen specifications. Whether you’re storing thin aluminum sheets or thick steel plates, you won’t have to worry about sagging, cracking, or structural failure. And for seamless forklift integration, the bottom features front-and-rear 贯通 (full-through) fork holes—sized to fit standard forklift forks (100–150mm in height). This means your operators can pick up, move, and place the rack in seconds, no awkward maneuvering required.

2. Anti-Slip & Protective Design: Keep Plates (and Workers) Safe

Damaged plates mean lost money—and injured workers mean costly downtime. Herochu’s rack addresses both risks with thoughtful protective features:

Anti-slip surfaces: Choose from anti-slip rubber pads, strip-shaped protrusions, or welded guard strips on the crossbeams. These prevent plates from sliding or shifting during transport, even when the rack is tilted or moved quickly.

Rounded edges: Every sharp corner is smoothed down to eliminate the risk of scratches on plates (no more unsellable “blemished” inventory) or cuts to your team’s hands.

Optional foldable guardrails: For extra stability during long-distance moves or tall stacks, add foldable fences that lock into place. These keep plates from tipping over, even if the forklift hits a bump.

3. Fully Customizable: Fit Your Plates, Fit Your Space

No two workshops are the same—and neither are their storage needs. Herochu doesn’t force you to adapt to a “one-size-fits-all” rack. Instead, we build around your plates:

Standard sizes available: 2000mm×1500mm (perfect for large steel sheets) and 1200mm×1000mm (ideal for smaller aluminum or plastic plates) are ready to ship.

Non-standard customization: Need a longer rack for extra-wide plates? A narrower design to fit tight warehouse aisles? We’ll adjust the length and width to match your exact requirements. Just share your plate dimensions, and our team will create a blueprint tailored to you.

This flexibility means you won’t waste space on a rack that’s too big—or struggle to fit plates that are too large for a standard model. It’s storage that works with your workflow, not against it.

Core Benefits: More Than Just Storage—It’s a Logistics Upgrade

The Herochu Forklift Steel Plate Rack isn’t just about holding plates. It’s about transforming how you manage inventory, cut costs, and protect your assets. Here’s how it delivers real value:

Slash Labor Costs by 70% (Hello, Mechanized Handling)

Manual handling of heavy plates is slow, risky, and expensive. A single steel sheet can weigh hundreds of pounds—requiring 2–3 workers to move it safely. With Herochu’s rack, you eliminate that hassle: pair it with a standard forklift, and one operator can handle even the heaviest loads in minutes.

The result? A 70% reduction in labor costs for loading, unloading, and transporting plates. For a warehouse moving 50 plates a day, that’s hours of saved time—and thousands of dollars in labor expenses cut each month. It’s especially game-changing for long-distance moves (e.g., from a cutting machine to a processing line) where manual handling would cause delays.

Maximize Space (Vertical or Ground Storage—Your Choice)

Warehouse space is a premium. Herochu’s rack helps you use every inch:

Vertical storage: Pair it with pallet shelves to stack racks on top of each other (safely, thanks to the strong frame). This turns a single floor space into 2–3 levels of storage—ideal for warehouses short on square footage.

Ground storage: Use it as a temporary holding area for plates waiting to be processed. No more piling plates on the floor (where they collect dust, get wet, or bend).

Building materials yards: Let customers select plates on-site, then load them directly into the rack for quick transport to their trucks. It speeds up service and makes your yard look more organized—win-win.

Protect Your Plates (No More Scratches, Dents, or Moisture Damage)

Plates are only valuable if they’re in good condition. Herochu’s rack keeps your inventory safe in three key ways:

Flat, elevated surface: Plates never touch the ground, so they avoid moisture (which causes rust on steel), dirt, or uneven surfaces that bend thin sheets.

Partitioned storage: Optional dividers let you store multiple plate sizes (e.g., 4ft×8ft steel and 2ft×4ft aluminum) in one rack—no more mixing, collision, or scratches from plates rubbing together.

Durable finishes: Every rack is treated with powder coating, galvanizing, or electroplating (your choice) to resist corrosion. Whether you store it indoors or outdoors (e.g., in a building materials yard), it won’t rust or fade—keeping plates clean and protected.

Low Cost, Long Lifespan (5–10 Years of Reliability)

Custom industrial shelves can cost tens of thousands of dollars—out of reach for many small businesses. Herochu’s rack avoids that: its simple, sturdy design keeps manufacturing costs low, so you get a high-quality product starting at $5,499.

And it’s not a “cheap” product—it’s a cost-effective investment. The corrosion-resistant finishes and high-strength steel mean the rack will last 5–10 years with minimal maintenance. Compare that to flimsy racks that break after 1–2 years, and it’s clear: Herochu’s rack saves you money in the long run.

Who Should Buy This Rack?

If you work in any of these industries, the Herochu Forklift Steel Plate Rack is a must-have:

Manufacturing: Use it for temporary storage of plates between cutting and processing (e.g., moving steel sheets from a laser cutter to a bending machine). It keeps workflows smooth and reduces downtime.

Warehousing & Logistics: Maximize vertical space with shelves, or use it as a temporary holding area for incoming/outgoing plates. It’s faster than pallets and safer than stacking plates directly.

Building Materials: Let customers inspect plates, then load them into the rack for quick transport. It improves customer satisfaction and speeds up checkout.

Automotive/Aerospace: Store aluminum or steel plates used for parts manufacturing—protecting them from damage that would ruin precision cuts.
