Herochu Vertical Steel Plate Storage Rack
Space-Saving, Damage-Free Stacking for Industrial Sheet Metal – From US $2,280, CE/UE/ISO 9001 Certified
Cluttered aisles, scratched stainless, and precarious leaning stacks are more than housekeeping issues—they erode productivity and profitability. Herochu’s roll-out Vertical Steel Plate Storage Rack converts dead wall space into a high-density, crane-ready filing cabinet for copper, aluminium, stainless, alloy, or precious-metal sheets up to 4 m long. Starting at US $2,280 per custom bay, the CE-, UE- and ISO 9001-certified system delivers immediate ROI through faster retrieval, safer handling and 60 % floor-space savings.
Precision-engineered advantages
- 100 % full-extension drawers
Each drawer glides on sealed linear bearings, offering unobstructed crane or vacuum-lifter access without the need for forklift aisles. - 700 kg safe working load per drawer
Robust welded frame accommodates single plates or small stacks, eliminating over-loading and panel deflection. - 3-degree retention tilt
Sheets naturally rest against the rear stop, preventing accidental slip-out and protecting valuable surface finishes. - One-operator, one-hand operation
Ergonomic pull handles and low-friction slides allow a single worker to open, load, or unload in seconds—no second pair of hands required. - Modular “front-back” or “left-right” movement
Specify drawer travel direction to match existing crane paths, roller tables or laser-cell in-feed lines. - Scratch-free individual storage
Multi-layer drawer frames isolate each sheet, preventing edge burr damage and costly re-work. - Clean, organised workshop
Replace floor piles with a single vertical bank up to 4.5 m high, freeing space for additional machines or inspection tables.
