CFS Roll-Out Vertical Sheet Rack: Heavy-Duty Metal Plate Storage

At CFS Technical Solutions, we engineer industrial storage systems that combine precision and durability. Our roll-out vertical sheet rack solution, deployed for a leading North American metal fabricator, demonstrates how modular design maximizes space utilization while ensuring operator safety and crane accessibility.

Challenge: High-Capacity Storage with Crane Compatibility

A Texas-based manufacturer (disclosed as Alpha Metalworks under NDA) required a system to store:
● Oversized plates: Up to 129" x 72" (3290 x 1835 mm)
● Extreme weights: 1,900 lbs (862 kg) per drawer
within strict floor space limits.Their existing setup caused:
⚠️ 30% wasted vertical space
⚠️ 22% longer crane retrieval times
⚠️ Frequent workflow interruptions due to unsafe access

CFS Roll-Out Vertical Sheet Rack: Engineering Innovations

1. Space-Optimized Dual Configurations

We developed two modular rack systems:
●  Rack 1 : 20-drawer unit with 129"L x 110"W x 60"H (3290 x 2790 x 1535 mm) footprint
●  Rack 2 : 12-drawer unit at 120"L x 133"W x 72"H (3060 x 3390 x 1835 mm)

Both feature full-extension drawers with 50 mm (2") loading channels—exceeding industry standards for metal plate storage6. 2. Industrial-Grade Construction

●  Material Integrity : 50 x 50 x 2 mm steel tubing withstands 500 kg/polyurethane caster loads
●  Crane Compatibility : 55,000 lb crane hooks align with ASTM F1105-15 lifting standards
●  Forklift Ready : 8,000 lb capacity pockets meet ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 safety protocols

3. Safety-Enhanced Design

● High-visibility orange drawer fronts (Munsell 5YR 7/14) reduce collision risks
● Laser-etched certification plates with load limits and QR installation guides
● Pinch-point warnings compliant with OSHA 1910.176(b)
