Vertical Sheet Storage
Rack System Vertical for ETP Metals
ETP Metals can move sheet metal, metal plate, and flat stock out of floor-stacked piles and into a vertical sheet rack system with roll-out drawers. That means one bay, one thickness, one job, and no more re-stacking just to find the next plate.
- Uses vertical storage to recover floor space in the staging area and beside the laser line.
- Separates sheet metal in roll-out bays so operators can pick one sheet without disturbing the rest.
- Supports safer handling with an open top for crane access and a mobile base for shop movement.

Why ETP Metals Needed a Vertical Rack System
Space Recovered
Traditional flat stacking burns floor area fast. A vertical sheet storage rack shifts the load upright, so ETP Metals can keep sheet metal off the aisle and turn the same footprint into usable storage capacity.
Single-Sheet Access
Roll-out shelves let operators pull the needed sheet, plate, or offcut directly out of the bay. No more moving top layers, no more searching through a stacked pile, and no more wasted time at the laser-cutting prep area.
Surface Protection and Safety
Separated vertical bays help prevent scratching, edge contact, and tipping. The safety lock pins and top handles shown in the detail image support controlled handling, while the open top keeps crane access clear for heavy flat stock.
Build Evidence From the Workshop
The workshop photo shows the rack fully assembled with roll-out drawers and mobile casters, which matches the working layout ETP Metals needs in a live shop floor. The detail image shows the spring-loaded locking pins and U-shaped handles that keep the drawer action controlled, especially when handling heavy sheet metal, metal plate, and flat stock. Together, these images confirm the rack is built for safe access, cleaner storage discipline, and faster picking at the point of use.
Plan the Vertical Rack Around Your Plate Sizes
Send the largest sheet size, the mix of materials, and the daily pick frequency. We will match the vertical sheet rack system to your storage flow so ETP Metals can load faster, pick faster, and stop losing time to re-stacking.
