ETP Metals · Sheet storage case
ETP Metals needed a cleaner way to store mixed sheet stock without the drag of flat stacking, repeated re-sorting, and cramped floor access. Aplarack’s roll-out vertical drawers and open-top crane access turned that workflow into a faster, more controlled storage cycle.
The old storage method was slowing ETP Metals down
ETP Metals was dealing with mixed sheet types, slow retrieval, and the usual damage risk that comes with stacked panels: operators had to move the top material first, search for the right size, and keep enough aisle space open to work. That makes sense for temporary storage, but not for a daily production floor that needs quick access and cleaner control.
Why Aplarack fit the job
Roll-out vertical drawers
Each storage bay pulls out independently, so operators can reach one sheet group without disturbing the rest of the stock.
Open-top loading path
The open top keeps crane access clear, which is useful when the panels are heavy or when the handling method needs to stay off manual lifting.
Guided mobile base
The welded steel frame and heavy-duty casters let the rack move in the workshop while keeping the drawers aligned and stable during use.
The structure matches the workflow
The workshop photo shows the rack doing the real job on the floor, while the base detail confirms the welded frame, guide rollers, and load-bearing hardware that keep the drawers moving in a controlled way. That is the difference between a storage rack that only looks organized and a rack that keeps working under daily sheet turnover.
What the new setup removes
Mixed stock and search time
Separate drawers keep different sheet types organized, so operators spend less time sorting and more time loading the right material.
Handling damage and floor congestion
Roll-out access and mobile casters reduce dragging, double handling, and blocked aisles around the cutting area.
