Sheet Metal Forklift: Precision Engineering for the Final 3 Feet
CE/UE/ISO 9001 Certified | Custom-Built for Your Fabrication Ecosystem
The Unseen Productivity Drain in Modern Workshops
While 92% of fabricators invest in automated storage systems (FMA 2025 Report), 78% still rely on outdated methods for the critical final transport phase. This creates a domino effect:
- $42,000/yr lost per machine from loading delays
- 3.7x higher material scrap rate from improper handling
- 27% of OSHA citations related to last-meter operations

Herochu’s Solution: A Mobile Extension of Your Storage System
Our Sheet Metal Storage Forklifts aren’t carts – they’re intelligent material transfer nodes designed to:
1. Seamless System Integration
- Forklift-compatible drawer receivers (custom tolerances ±1.5mm)
- RFID-enabled load tracking with machine communication protocols
- Modular attachment system for press brake adapters, laser guides, etc.
2. Human-Centric Engineering
- Smart height adjustment with machine bed recognition sensors
- Anti-fatigue ergonomic handles with real-time load indicators
- Collision avoidance system using ultrasonic sensors
3. Data-Driven Efficiency
Metric | Industry Average | Herochu System |
