Efficient and safe sheet metal storage is essential in today’s industrial environments. Whether you’re a metal fabricator, supplier, or manufacturer, managing sheet materials like steel, aluminium, or plastic can be a challenge without the right storage systems in place. Our horizontal sheet storage racks are designed to streamline your operations by keeping your materials organised, accessible, and protected — all while improving safety on the floor.
Why Effective Sheet Metal Storage Matters
Sheet materials are heavy, sharp, and often awkward to handle manually. When left unorganised, they can become a hazard — causing damage to products, posing safety risks to workers, and slowing down production. Investing in a dedicated sheet metal storage system helps eliminate these issues by creating a designated space for each type or size of sheet, reducing the risk of injury and keeping materials in better condition for use or delivery.
Proper storage not only protects your inventory but also increases your team’s efficiency. With clearly defined storage levels and forklift-friendly access, materials can be loaded and retrieved faster, allowing your staff to spend less time searching and more time working.
Available Standard Sizes
- 2400 mm x 1200 mm sheet capacity – Ideal for standard metal sheet dimensions
- 3600 mm x 1500 mm sheet capacity – Perfect for oversized sheet applications
Key Features of Our Horizontal Sheet Metal Storage Racks
Our horizontal racking systems are engineered to meet the practical demands of heavy-duty industrial use. These racks provide robust support for various sheet materials, keeping them flat, secure, and ready for access.
- Welded steel frame for heavy-duty, long-term industrial performance
- Multiple horizontal levels for storing sheets by type, grade, or thickness
- Open-front access points make loading and unloading safer and quicker
- Forklift-compatible base design for easy integration into your workflow
- Highly customisable structure – adapt the layout to suit your space and processes
- Compatible with a wide range of sheet materials including steel, aluminium, copper, MDF, and plastic
- Optional powder-coated finish for added resistance to wear and corrosion
- Works seamlessly with vacuum lifters for low-risk material handling
Benefits of Horizontal Sheet Metal Storage
Horizontal sheet metal storage is about more than just tidiness — it’s a core part of efficient operations. By implementing a system designed specifically for sheet material handling, you’ll immediately notice improvements in safety, space usage, and workflow speed.
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Organised Storage | Keep sheet stock separated, visible, and clearly accessible for your team |
| Improved Safety | Minimise the need for manual lifting and reduce the risk of sheet-related injuries |
| Faster Workflow | Load and retrieve materials efficiently using forklifts or vacuum lifters |
| Space Efficiency | Utilise your floor space effectively and reduce clutter in high-traffic areas |
| Industrial Strength | Withstand the weight and dimensions of large sheet metal with ease |
Vacuum Lifters for Safer Sheet Handling
When paired with vacuum lifters, your sheet metal storage system becomes a complete handling solution. Vacuum lifters enable operators to move large, flat sheets without risking injury or material damage. This not only saves time but also supports a safer, more ergonomic workplace.
- VICTORY ROVER – The 12V battery powered lifter that can be used on a crane or forklift without the need to disconnect power.
- VICTORY TITAN – For permanent mounting to a crane and powered by 3-phase.
These lifting tools integrate smoothly with our storage systems, allowing safe, efficient transfer of materials from racking to cutting tables, machinery, or transport pallets.
Trusted, Australian Owned and Operated
We are proud to be an Australian owned and operated company, supporting local industries with high-quality storage and handling systems. Our horizontal sheet racks have been trusted by professionals across metal fabrication, engineering, and sheet distribution sectors for their strength, practicality, and long-term reliability.
Explore Other Sheet Storage Options
If your facility needs more flexibility or space-saving alternatives, explore our Vertical Sheet Storage Racks. These systems are designed to store flat sheets upright — allowing easier access without the need to unstack horizontal piles. Vertical storage is especially useful in tight workshops or for operators looking to avoid lifting heavy sheets by hand.
Both vertical and horizontal options are engineered for the safe, efficient storage of sheet materials. Choose the system that best fits your floor space, handling equipment, and workflow requirements.
