Vertical Storage Racks for Sheet Metal: Optimizing Material Handling

Efficient Storage for Industrial Materials

Manufacturers handling plastic, aluminum, or light-gauge sheet metal require specialized storage solutions to preserve material integrity and streamline workflows. Our vertical storage racks for sheet metal are engineered for 2490×1270mm panels, delivering high-density storage with rapid accessibility—ideal for facilities prioritizing both space efficiency and material protection 

The Storage Challenge: Protection Meets Density

The system addresses critical industrial requirements:

• Safe storage for delicate plastic, aluminum, or thin-gauge sheet metal
• 25-sheet capacity per drawer (175kg max operational load)
• High-density 76mm spacing to prevent surface damage
• Compact 3048mm total system width
• Instant access for frequent material handling

Engineering Specifications

These vertical storage racks for sheet metal combine precision and durability:

• Panel capacity: 2490×1270mm (industry-standard sizing)
• Drawer capacity: 300kg (175kg operational load)
• Drawer count: 14 within 3048mm width
• System dimensions: 3048×1820×2915mm (vertical footprint)
