Storage racks for steel plates and profiles

Herochu Storage Racks for Steel Plates & Profiles: Your Workshop’s Productivity Powerhouse

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Sheet Storage

Every time a worker “digs” through stacks or “flips” sheets to find the right one, your workshop loses money. This inefficiency isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s a productivity-killing bottleneck that drains your profitability. Here’s how:

• Massive Equipment Downtime: Your laser cutters, press brakes, and other profit-generating machines sit idle while workers search for materials. Every minute of downtime slashes your OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and eats into revenue.
• Material Damage: Scratches, dents, and bends accumulate with every move. For high-value materials like stainless steel or aluminum, this damage translates into lost profit and unnecessary scrap.
• Safety Risks: Maneuvering heavy, awkward sheets with cranes or forklifts in a cluttered space is a recipe for accidents. Worker injuries, property damage, and compliance fines are the hidden costs of a “cheap” storage system.
• Wasted Floor Space: Horizontal stacking consumes valuable real estate. That space could be used for new production lines, assembly areas, or streamlined workflow.

More Than a Shelf: A Productivity System

Herochu’s steel plate storage racks aren’t just shelves—they’re an investment in a new workflow. By replacing passive stacking with active management, these racks eliminate bottlenecks and unlock efficiency. Here’s how:

1. Space Management: Reclaim Up to 80% of Your Floor Space

• Store sheets vertically in a dense, compact footprint.
• Free up space for expansion, workflow optimization, or new equipment.
• No more “stacking chaos”—every sheet has a dedicated home.

2. Process Optimization: Retrieve Any Sheet in Minutes, Not Hours

• 100% selectivity: Every sheet on every level is instantly accessible.
• Just-in-time material feeding: Keep your machines running without delays.
• Single operator efficiency: No more team effort to find the right sheet.

3. Inventory Control: Never Lose Track Again

• Dedicated “homes” for every sheet eliminate lost or misplaced materials.
• Reduce reorders and shortages: Know exactly what you have at all times.
• Streamlined workflows: Improve order fulfillment and reduce waste.

4. Safety First: Transform High-Risk Tasks into Standard Procedures

• Standardized, one-person operation: No more dangerous crane or forklift maneuvers.
• Reduce injury risks: Designed for safe, predictable material handling.
• Compliance-ready: Meet safety standards without extra effort.

Building a “Sturdy Home”: Features That Protect Your Investment

Your sheet metal deserves a secure, durable storage solution. Herochu’s racks are built to last, with features that ensure longevity, safety, and adaptability.

Heavy-Duty Design: Built for Industrial Strength

• High-strength Q235 structural steel: Precision-welded for maximum durability.
• Robust engineering: Engineered to handle high-density loads, with drawers supporting up to 6 tons (HC-B6020-66 model).
• Stable and secure: No wobbling or shifting—even under full load.

Flexible Storage Solutions for Every Need

• Hand-Pull Drawers: Ideal for lighter-gauge sheets (up to 1.5 tons), prioritizing speed and simplicity.
• Hand-Crank Drawers: Perfect for heavy loads (e.g., 5,000 lbs). A mechanical gear system lets a single employee safely extend a fully loaded drawer with minimal effort.
• Forklift-Style Trays: For the heaviest applications, the “drawer” is a heavy-duty, transportable pallet. A forklift can remove the entire tray, transport it to a work cell, and return it—maximizing material handling efficiency.

Customizable Sizes & Configurations

Herochu’s racks are designed to fit your workshop, not the other way around. Choose from standard models or customize to your exact needs:

Model	Load (Single Layer)	Plate Size (mm)	Number of Layers	External Dimensions (L x H x W, mm)
HC-B3015-63	3t	3000×1500	5+1	3505x2280x2000
HC-B4015-63	3t	4000×1500	5+1	4505x2280x2000
HC-B4020-65	5t	4000×2000	5+1	4505x2280x2500
