Sheet Metal Storage Rack Review - Does it work and Should you buy one?

[@phillhuddleston9445]

You still have to move it off the shipping pallets onto the rack instead of leaving it on the pallets and storing it that way, you are saving space but adding labor, this is still a positive overall if that space is worth the added labor cost but that added labor should have been mentioned, it is a trade off.

In traditional storage, a ton of labor/handling is wasted locating/unburing/unstacking material. We typically find that labor savings is one of the strongest ROI factors with our customers. We would be happy to discuss your specific setup in more detail to see if this type of racking makes sense for you or not. Contact us using this link: www.leanmanufacturingproducts.com/contact/

What if there's a rack that is half full of sheets, or even less than that, and then you get a new delivery of sheets and you'd like to put these sheets into this half-filled rack... how do you or would you go about it in such a way when using a forklift that you avoid damaging the sheets?

how do you get the metal off of the skid onto the rack?

What if you're doing 0.250 plate? How do you even get on and off the "cartage"?

[@leanmfgproducts4145]

We have a fixture called a Pin-Table that's used to transfer material from wooden pallets onto Lean Cartridges. Here's a link to our website for more information: www.leanmanufacturingproducts.com/pin-table/ you can also contact us directly and we can walk you through the process of using it.

What is the price range? 60"X120" Is this system any good for 6mm / 1/4" plates?

[@steved3581]

Yep! 5000lb capacity per shelf/cartridge. You could have ten 1/4" steel plates on a single shelf.

How do you handle your drop?

[@ExteriorProInc]

We turn drops into offset cleat and J channel if we need it. Some times we can use drop for gravel stop or cleat on our metal coping jobs. Just depends on how big the drop is and color and what other things we have going but we try to have as little waste as possible
