Technical solution for ETP Metals<\/p>\n

ETP Metals removed sheet congestion with an Aplarack vertical sheet rack<\/div>\n

ETP Metals needed a cleaner way to store long sheet stock, keep crane access open, and stop mixed piles from blocking the aisle. Aplarack solved it with roll-out drawers, an open top, and a heavy-duty wheeled base.<\/p>\n

What was wrong with the old setup<\/h2>\n

Sheets stacked on the floor made selection slow, exposed material edges to damage, and forced operators to work around blocked aisles. Retrieval depended on the right piece being near the front, so the team spent time moving material before they could actually load it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Why Aplarack fit the job<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Uitrolbare laden<\/h3>\n

Each sheet group moves independently, so operators reach one bay without disturbing the rest of the stock.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

Open-top access<\/h3>\n

The top stays open for overhead crane handling, which keeps long material transfer straightforward in a metal shop.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

Heavy-duty mobility<\/h3>\n

The casters and guided base let the rack move when the layout changes, while the locking hardware keeps the unit stable in use.<\/p>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Evidence from the build<\/h2>\n

The product images show the full-extension drawer layout, the Q235 steel frame, and the safety lock pins that stop accidental movement during retrieval. The floor-track handling photo also shows how the system keeps crane access clear while still organizing sheets by bay.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

What ETP Metals avoids now<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Less aisle blockage<\/h3>\n

The rack replaces loose floor piles that used to spread into traffic space.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

Lower handling risk<\/h3>\n

Independent bays reduce rehandling and cut down on edge damage during pick-up.<\/p>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
