Installation & Technical Specifications

Does the horizontal storage metal rack need to be placed against a wall?

No. The horizontal storage rack is designed to be sturdy enough to be freestanding. However, placing it against a wall can help you save valuable floor space depending on your layout.

How is the horizontal storage rack installed and how long does it take?

The racks are shipped as a series of flat panels (sidewalls and backwalls) that are erected and connected with the provided hardware. They can be assembled using an overhead crane or a forklift. Based on experience, the first unit typically requires 2-3 operators and takes 2-3 hours to assemble. Each additional unit takes about 1-2 hours.

What are the concrete requirements for the rack?

Your concrete floor must have a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI on a horizontal surface to support the system safely.

What is the footprint of the Sheet Metal Storage Rack?

Please contact us, and we will be happy to provide the footprint specifications for our sheet metal storage systems. We can send drawings of the racks, or you can send us a DXF file of your factory layout, and we can help determine the best placement.

Do the storage units slide out like drawers?

Yes, our большой стальной стеллаж storage units are designed to slide out like drawers. This feature provides easy access to sheet metal and minimizes interference with other storage units during operation.

How much clearance is there between the shelves?

We recommend a minimum of 1.5 inches of clearance between the top of your raw material and the bottom of the shelf support above it. For instance, in a 14-foot high rack with 22 shelves and a maximum material stack height of 2.5 inches, the clearance would be 1.75 inches.

What is the load capacity of each storage unit?

The load capacity depends on the specific design of the unit. Typically, each unit can hold several tons. We will recommend a specific load capacity based on your material type and storage needs.

Efficiency, Cost & ROI

How much do sheet metal storage systems cost?

The cost varies depending on the configuration. However, the investment is often significantly less than what you are currently spending on inefficient material handling. Once we know your specifications, we can provide you with the best possible price. Contact us for our ROI calculator to see how quickly the system pays for itself. Most clients find the ROI is much shorter than they initially expect and that the operational costs of their old methods were higher than the cost of our storage system.

Is my facility a good candidate for these racks?

Consider these questions:

  • Do you feel like your shop is tight on space?
  • Do your employees spend time searching for raw materials?
  • Once found, is more time spent digging the material out?
  • Are your machines idle while operators are looking for materials?
  • Has your material ever been damaged (scratched, bent, or twisted) during storage?
  • Have you experienced safety incidents related to handling raw materials?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, an efficient storage system could be highly beneficial.

How can I start storing sheet metal more efficiently?

Begin by taking measurements and conducting time studies. If your operators track the time spent locating, digging out, and handling material each day, you will quickly identify the areas that need prioritization and improvement.

Why do I need to store sheet metal efficiently?

To increase your capacity, boost production, and ultimately, grow your profits!
