At CFS Technical Solutions, we engineer industrial storage systems that solve unique operational challenges. This case study explores our custom sheet metal vertical storage rack, designed for a client requiring efficient storage for diverse acrylic panels. Discover how our solution optimized space, enhanced safety, and delivered surplus capacity.
The Challenge: Storing Diverse Panels Efficiently
A manufacturer needed a system to store acrylic panels ranging from 650x1350mm (min) to 1700x1900mm (max), with thicknesses spanning 2–25mm. Key requirements included:
- Vertical storage for ~1,880 panels (1,180+ thick panels ≥5mm)
- 125mm drawer loading width with 600kg capacity per drawer
- Space optimization within a 24x24m warehouse
- Damage prevention for delicate surfaces
The Solution: Precision-Engineered Sheet Metal Vertical Storage Rack
We delivered a custom sheet metal vertical storage rack with these innovations:
Optimized Rack Design
Each 3000x2720x2115mm rack featured 12 drawers with 125mm loading width. The full-extension design (4945mm pullout) enabled direct access to panels up to 1900x1700mm. A 15-unit layout provided 22,500mm total storage width—exceeding the 14,920mm requirement by 50%.
Robust & Safety-Focused Construction
The sheet metal vertical storage rack incorporated:
- 3° tilted drawers with anti-slip railings
- Protective rubber strips to prevent scratches
- Heavy-duty steel frame with electrostatic powder coating
- Smooth-gliding 4-inch casters for 600kg loads
Space-Saving Layout
The compact footprint (2880mm per rack when closed) maximized the warehouse’s 576m² area. Modular assembly reduced shipping volume to 8m³ per unit.
Results: Efficiency & Capacity Transformed
The sheet metal vertical storage rack system achieved:
- 50%+ surplus capacity for thick panels
- Zero material damage with protective features
- 20% faster loading/unloading via full-extension drawers
- Optimized floor space with minimal clearance requirements
