# Sheet Metal Storage Rack

Sheet Metal Storage Rack – Efficient Storage SolutionsAnyone who stores sheet metal lying on the floor or leaning against a wall risks damage to the material and workplace accidents. They need much more space and have to contend with clutter. When stored in a storemaster® sheet metal storage rack, you can sort your sheets by type, application and size, and always know exactly where the sheet you need is located. Easy access by hand, forklift or crane means they’re ready to be processed and sold straight away.

What are the advantages of sheet metal storage racking? Sheet metal can be made of steel or stainless steel, but also aluminium or other metals. Particularly delicate sheets can easily be damaged, scratched or bent if stored incorrectly. In a professional sheet metal storage system using system pallets or cassettes, this cannot happen: the forklift tines do not come into contact with the sheet metal, either during loading and unloading or during transport. It arrives in perfect condition at the production line, for further processing or to the customer.



Professional sheet metal storage not only enables space-saving storage; the storage system is also suitable for various sizes of stored goods. But best of all: sheet metal storage racks allow direct access to every single sheet. Direct access simplifies and speeds up workflows. In this way, the warehouse contributes to the company’s profitability. Sheet metal storage racks also score highly in terms of hazard prevention, as they minimise the risk of accidents, such as tripping.



What storage options do sheet metal storage racks offer? Sheet metal storage rack solutions from storemaster® can be tailored entirely to the specific requirements of your warehouse. The range includes sheet metal storage racks in small and large formats, as well as in special sizes and shapes. They are therefore suitable for businesses of all sizes and virtually every sector. You’ll find our systems in both the smallest and largest companies. In addition to small and medium-sized enterprises, our customers even include large corporations.



Sheet metal storage racks are typically found in industrial enterprises or the manufacturing sector. Here, sheet metal is stored as raw material for production or as semi-finished goods for further processing. Our systems are also used for storage in the retail sector and for the display of finished products. They are therefore used in DIY stores as well as, for example, in specialist plumbing shops.



Horizontal: On horizontal racks, the sheet metal is stored lying flat. This makes the stored goods accessible from one or both sides by hand, forklift or crane. This significantly speeds up and simplifies workflows. Horizontal racking can be built practically right up to the warehouse ceiling and „grow with the warehouse“.



Vertical: In vertical racking, the sheets or sheet metal offcuts are stored vertically. They are retrieved from the top or from the side, depending on the design. A well-organised workflow is guaranteed. Some systems allow for storage and retrieval via pull-out drawers.
