Client Requirements & CFS Engineering Insights
A U.S.-based automotive parts manufacturer required a sheet metal stacking system to store 3,000×1,500mm steel plates with critical specifications:
● Precision Vertical Control: 90mm layer spacing for plate retrieval
● Manual Operation: 10-layer pull-out drawers (no power dependency)
● Heavy-Duty Capacity: 1,500–2,000kg per drawer (15–20 tons total)
● Industrial Durability: CFS-engineered electrostatic powder coating for 10+ years of corrosion resistance
CFS Sheet Metal Racks Storage Features
1. Space-Optimized Vertical Design

● Density Advantage: Stores 10 plate stacks in 2m height (40% denser than conventional stacking)
● Structural Integrity:Triangular stress joints at critical load points8
○ Dual-back lateral bracing system for seismic stability
● Facility Compatibility: Fits standard 20'/40' containers (1 unit/20'GP, 3 units/40'HQ)
2. Advanced Sheet Metal Stacking System
