Herochu Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage: Customizable Rack Systems for Industrial Workshops

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, logistics, and warehouse management, efficient storage of sheet metal isn’t just a convenience—it’s a critical factor in reducing downtime, minimizing material waste, and maximizing workspace utilization. Herochu, a leading Chinese manufacturer of industrial racking systems and warehouse equipment, has engineered a solution that addresses these challenges head-on: the Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage line. Designed for durability, flexibility, and ease of use, these sheet drawer racks cater to workshops of all sizes, from small-scale fabrication shops to large-scale distribution centers, with customization options that adapt to your unique space and load requirements. Starting at $5,199, this investment delivers long-term value by streamlining operations, enhancing safety, and ensuring your sheet metal inventory is organized and accessible.

Why Herochu Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage Stands Out

At the core of this product line is the Sheet Drawer Rack design, a game-changer for sheet metal management. Unlike traditional shelving that requires lifting or sliding heavy sheets (risking damage or injury), Herochu’s drawer-based system lets you pull out entire layers with minimal effort. Each drawer can be 100% extended, making stocktaking a breeze—no more reaching into dark corners or moving multiple sheets to access the one you need. The rocker-type pulling method adds to the convenience, saving time and labor that would otherwise be spent on manual handling.

Customization: Build a Storage System That Fits Your Workshop Perfectly

While Herochu’s standard models cover most common needs, every workshop is unique—and that’s where customization comes in. Herochu offers fully tailored Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage solutions, letting you adjust every component to match your space, load requirements, and workflow.

Key Customizable Features:

Plate Size: Beyond the standard 3000×1500 to 6000×2000 mm range, Herochu can design racks for non-standard sheet sizes, ensuring no space is wasted and sheets fit securely.

Load Capacity: Single-layer loads can be adjusted from 3 tons up to custom limits (contact Herochu for specific heavy-load requests), making the system suitable for ultra-heavy materials like armor plate or large aluminum sheets.

Number of Layers: Choose from 3 to 10 layers (or more, on request) to maximize vertical space. For example, a workshop with high ceilings can opt for 10 layers to store more sheets without expanding their footprint.

External Dimensions: Length, height, and width can be modified to fit tight corners, tall ceilings, or specific areas of your workshop. Herochu’s team works with you to measure your space and design a rack that fits like a glove.

Beams and Uprights: Both beams and uprights are customizable, allowing you to adjust spacing, strength, and design to support your specific load and sheet size. For example, wider beams can be added to hold extra-wide sheets, while reinforced uprights can support heavier layers.

Shelf Decking: Choose from flat, checkered, or perforated steel plate for the shelf decking. Checkered plate adds traction to prevent sheets from sliding, while perforated plate allows for ventilation (ideal for materials that need to stay dry).

Surface Finish: Opt for powder-coated or galvanized surface treatment. Powder coating is available in a range of colors to match your workshop aesthetic, while galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance—perfect for workshops in humid or outdoor environments.

Herochu also offers OEM & ODM services, meaning you can work directly with their engineering team to design a completely unique storage system. Whether you need a rack that integrates with existing warehouse equipment (like cranes or forklifts) or a system with specialized features (like locking drawers for high-value materials), Herochu can turn your vision into reality.

Technical Excellence: Built for Durability and Performance

Herochu’s Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage isn’t just customizable—it’s built to last. Every component is made from high-quality steel, ensuring the rack can withstand the rigors of industrial use. Let’s dive into the technical details that make this system stand out:

Material and Structure

Main Frame: The main frame is constructed using high-grade steel, with a welding production process that ensures strong, seamless joints. This eliminates weak points and ensures the frame can support heavy loads without bending or warping.

External Frame Columns: For larger custom racks (like the multi-layer drawer rack example provided), external frame columns use 200*200 H steel—one of the strongest structural steels available. This provides the backbone of the rack, supporting layers of heavy sheets.

Support Arms: Support arms are made from 100*100 angle steel, which adds stability and distributes weight evenly across the frame. This prevents sagging and ensures each layer can hold its maximum load.

Top, Bottom, and Back Pulls: Top and bottom pulls use 150*75 H steel, while back pulls use 63 angle steel. These components reinforce the frame, preventing lateral movement and ensuring the rack stays square and stable.

Sheet Drawer Components: Sheet drawer columns are made from 10 angle steel, and drawer frames use 180*100 rectangular tube. This combination of strength and flexibility allows the drawers to slide smoothly while supporting heavy sheets.

Mobility and Accessibility

Adjustable Mobility: The rack’s height can be adjusted from 0 to 5 meters, letting you use vertical space efficiently. This is especially useful in workshops with high ceilings, where adding height can double or triple storage capacity.

Rail Bearing System: Each drawer is equipped with a rail bearing system featuring sealed rings. The sealed design prevents dust, dirt, and debris from entering the bearings, ensuring smooth operation for years. Even with heavy loads, the drawers can be pulled out easily—no more struggling with stuck or jammed shelves.

Crane and Forklift Compatibility: The rack is designed to work seamlessly with cranes and forklifts, making loading and unloading quick and safe. Crane suction cup access allows you to lift sheets directly from the drawers, while forklift compatibility means you can move the entire rack (if needed) to reconfigure your workshop layout.

360-Degree Operation: With crane access, you can operate the rack from any angle—360 degrees—eliminating the need to reposition the crane or the rack itself. This saves time and labor, as workers don’t have to move around the rack to access different layers.

Safety and Efficiency

Strong Bearing Capacity: Each layer is built to handle its rated load (3 tons to 6 tons for standard models, custom for tailored systems) without compromising safety. This reduces the risk of sheet damage or rack collapse, protecting your inventory and your team.

Good Stability: The wide base and reinforced frame ensure the rack stays stable, even when fully loaded. This is crucial in busy workshops, where accidental bumps from forklifts or other equipment won’t tip the rack.

Space Optimization: By using vertical space and a drawer-based design, the rack lets you store large quantities of sheets in small spaces. For example, a 6-layer rack can store 6 times more sheets than a single-layer shelf of the same footprint—maximizing your workshop’s storage capacity.

Clear Classification: Each drawer can be labeled with sheet specifications and models, making it easy to find the exact material you need. This reduces time spent searching for inventory and minimizes the risk of using the wrong sheet (which can lead to costly mistakes in production).

Practical Benefits: How Herochu’s Storage System Improves Your Workshop

Beyond the technical specs, Herochu’s Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Storage delivers real-world benefits that impact your bottom line:

1. Reduced Downtime

With easy access to sheets (thanks to 100% extendable drawers and clear labeling), workers spend less time searching for inventory and more time on productive tasks. This reduces downtime in production, helping you meet deadlines faster.

2. Minimized Material Waste

The rack’s stable design and smooth handling prevent sheets from being damaged during storage or retrieval. Crane suction cup access and forklift compatibility eliminate the need to drag or slide sheets, which can scratch, bend, or dent them. This reduces waste, saving you money on replacement materials.

3. Lower Labor Costs

The rocker-type pulling method and 360-degree crane operation make handling sheets faster and easier. Workers don’t have to lift heavy materials manually, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury. This lowers labor costs by increasing efficiency and reducing the need for extra staff.

4. Improved Safety

The rack’s sturdy construction and compliance with global safety standards (CE, UE, ISO 9001) reduce the risk of accidents in the workshop. Stable, secure storage prevents sheets from falling, and easy access eliminates the need for workers to climb or reach over dangerous areas.

5. Scalability

As your business grows, Herochu’s storage system can grow with you. Whether you need to add more layers, expand the rack’s size, or invest in additional units, the customizable design makes it easy to scale your storage capacity without replacing the entire system.
