At Industrial Storage Solutions, we craft storage systems that empower manufacturers to maximize efficiency and organization. This case study highlights how we designed a custom solution for a client, delivering exceptional strength and tailored functionality with our heavy duty die rack shelving.

Project Overview

Our client, a leading automotive parts manufacturer in Ohio, required a robust storage solution to securely hold large, heavy molds while optimizing their facility’s layout. They provided detailed specifications, including precise drawer dimensions and load requirements. Our team collaborated closely to refine their design, ensuring a system that balanced capacity, accessibility, and space efficiency.

The Solution: Two-Layer, Heavy-Duty Mold Rack

We engineered a two-layer, four-grid mold rack system with fully extendable drawers to handle substantial loads. Key features include:

  • Drawer Size: 650mm x 1400mm
  • Load Capacity: 3000kg per layer
  • Total Height: 2.4m
  • Storage Positions: 8 drawers (4 grids, 2 layers)
  • Drawer Extension: 1600mm for full mold access
  • Construção: High-strength channel steel and reinforced textured steel panels
  • Additional Features: Custom mold stop pins for secure storage

The top layer was left free of storage per the client’s request, serving as a protective cover with a dust-shielding frame. The design prioritized accessibility, with drawers extending fully to allow operators to handle molds safely and efficiently.

Especificações técnicas

The mold rack was built with premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship to ensure durability under extreme loads. Key components include:

Each component was carefully selected to support the 3-ton load capacity per layer, with double-layer slide rails and high-quality bearings ensuring smooth and reliable drawer movement.

Why This Solution Worked

Our tailored approach delivered measurable benefits for the client. The result was a heavy duty die rack shelving system that streamlined operations, enhanced organization, and supported the client’s production goals.

  • High Load Capacity: The 3000kg per-layer design accommodated heavy molds with ease, ensuring safe and secure storage.
  • Custom Accessibility: Fully extendable drawers (1600mm) and custom stop pins simplified mold handling, reducing operator effort and downtime.
  • Space Efficiency: The compact 2.4m height and 8-position layout maximized storage within the client’s facility constraints.
  • Durabilidade: Robust channel steel, reinforced panels, and premium bearings guaranteed long-term performance under demanding conditions.
  • Segurança: Stable slide rails, secure bracing, and custom pins minimized risks during mold access.
