ETP Metals | Aplarack Vertical Sheet Rack Solution
ETP Metals needed faster sheet access, cleaner sorting, and less edge damage in daily handling. Aplarack solves that with roll-out drawers, open-top crane access, and a mobile Q235 steel frame built for mixed sheet storage.

Why the old sheet storage method was slowing ETP Metals down
Flat stacks and pallet-based storage make every retrieval touch too many bundles. Operators waste time rehandling sheets, edge surfaces get marked up, and the correct pack is harder to find when steel, galvanized sheet, and other flat materials are stored together. The result is slower picking, more congestion, and more risk every time a bundle moves.
Why Aplarack fits the workflow
Vertical separation instead of floor stacking
Each drawer bay keeps one sheet pack isolated, so teams stop digging through stacked material and reduce surface contact during daily handling.
Roll-out drawers for direct retrieval
Independent pull-out drawers bring the target bundle forward without disturbing neighboring packs, which shortens picking cycles and keeps the workflow clean.
Mobile frame with crane-friendly access
The welded Q235 steel frame, heavy-duty casters, and open top support both floor movement and overhead loading, which is useful when sheet sizes change from job to job.

What the reference build shows
The product images show the same core hardware that matters in production: a blue Q235 steel frame, pull-out drawer bays, heavy-duty casters, and open-top access for crane handling. The result is a sheet storage system that is easier to sort, easier to move, and easier to load without wasting floor space.
What stays risky in the old layout
More rehandling means more damage
When bundles are buried in a stack, operators have to move extra material just to reach one pack, which increases the chance of edge scratches and mix-ups.
No lock or guide structure means less control
Without guided movement and safety locking, a pulled-out storage bay is harder to manage and less stable during daily shop-floor use.
