Scrap sheets across the aisle, half-finished blanks under the bench, special alloys lost behind the forklift—sound familiar? The Herochu Vertical Storage Racking for Sheet Material puts every plate, off-cut, and semi-finished part into a single, pull-out tower that frees 60 % of floor space overnight. Standard models start at US$5,000, yet every rack is laser-cut and welded to your exact part size, load per layer, and ceiling height.

Why fabricators choose Herochu • Purpose-built for small, scattered or odd-shaped sheet metal up to 1 t per layer

Herochu Sheet Metal Vertical Storage is more than just a storage unit—it’s a fully automated system engineered for seamless material handling. At its core is an intelligent elevator mechanism that deposits and retrieves drawers, delivering them directly to the load/unload bay at a safe, ergonomic working height. This automation eliminates manual lifting and reduces the risk of workplace injuries, making material handling more efficient and secure.​

One of the key strengths of Herochu’s vertical storage systems is their impressive load capacity, with each drawer capable of supporting up to 5000 kg (11,000 lbs). This heavy – duty capability makes them suitable for storing even the thickest and heaviest sheet metal, ensuring versatility across various industrial applications. Whether you’re handling steel sheets, aluminum panels, or other heavy materials, these systems provide reliable storage you can trust.​

Space optimization is where Herochu Vertical Storage truly excels. By leveraging vertical space, these systems significantly reduce the storage footprint required, freeing up valuable floor space for other essential operations. This is especially beneficial for facilities with limited square footage, allowing companies to expand their storage capacity without needing to expand their physical premises. The vertical design turns unused overhead space into a high – density storage solution, maximizing every inch of your warehouse.​

Customization is another highlight of Herochu Vertical Sheet Metal Storage Systems. They can be tailored to accommodate a wide range of sheet sizes, from small components to large panels. Beyond sheet metal, these systems efficiently store other flat materials such as plywood, plastic sheets, moulds, boxes, and various components, making them a versatile choice for diverse industrial needs.​

The benefits of choosing Herochu Vertical Storage are numerous. Businesses can enjoy reduced material handling costs thanks to automated operations, while the compact design cuts down on storage footprint. The system ensures efficient material storage and flow, streamlining workflow from storage to production. Workplace safety is significantly enhanced with features that minimize manual labor and reduce accident risks. Real – time inventory tracking keeps you updated on stock status, preventing shortages and overstocking. With these advantages, companies often experience a fast return on investment (ROI), making the system a smart long – term investment. The heavy – duty design guarantees durability, while user – friendly touch screen controls simplify operation.​

Herochu’s vertical storage systems come packed with impressive features. The double tower system maximizes storage capacity while minimizing the volume occupied. A fixed ground support with pins simplifies loading and unloading operations, reducing handling time. An automated shuttle efficiently brings drawers to the elevator, ensuring smooth retrieval. The triple chain lifting mechanism ensures maximum stability and reliability during operation. Integrated load cells monitor drawer weights, preventing overloading and ensuring safety.​

Constructed with 16 mm (0.63 in) thick tubolars for main structures and 12 mm (0.47 in) thick tubolars for lifting arms, these systems offer exceptional rigidity. The Ø 200 mm (8 in) heavy – duty sliding wheels further enhance structural strength. Even for systems up to 12 mt (40 ft) tall, the monoblock tubolar structure ensures superior stability and construction quality. Safety is prioritized with perimetric protection fences and photoelectric safety light curtains around the elevator/shuttle area. Operation is made simple with a user – friendly touch screen control and integrated inventory management software, keeping track of your materials with ease.​

Key Features of Herochu Vertical Sheet Rack Systems

1. Space-Saving Roll-Out Design

Unlike traditional horizontal storage, our vertical sheet metal storage systems utilize a space-efficient roll-out drawer mechanism, allowing easy access without requiring excessive floor space. The drawers extend smoothly, exposing the entire face of the sheet for hassle-free loading and unloading.

2. Heavy-Duty Construction for Maximum Durability

• Powder-coated steel frame – Resists corrosion and wear in industrial environments.
• Reinforced guide tracks & heavy-duty casters – Ensure smooth drawer movement even under full load.
• Lateral support bars – Securely hold remnant pieces, preventing slippage.

3. High Weight Capacity & Secure Storage

Each drawer supports up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg), making it suitable for thick steel plates, aluminum sheets, and other heavy materials. The angled vertical design keeps sheets safely contained, reducing the risk of accidents.

4. Compatibility with Multiple Handling Systems

Herochu’s vertical racks are designed to work seamlessly with:

• Vacuum lifters
• Forklifts & hoists
