CFS Dual-Size Sheet Metal Storage Rack System: Industrial Case Study
2025-04-07 15:31
Client Requirements & CFS Engineering Strategy
A U.S.-based aerospace manufacturer required a CFS sheet metal storage rack system to manage dual plate sizes (1220×2440mm and 1524×3048mm) with critical specifications
●
1:Dual-Configuration Design: Simultaneous storage for mixed plate dimensions
●
Forklift Integration: Full drawer access for standard 2.5-ton forklifts
●
High-Density Capacity: 20 drawers per 4m unit (4000kg total per rack)
●
Industrial Safety: 1.5x overload protection (1500kg tested per drawer)
CFS Sheet Metal Storage Rack Innovations
1. Dual-Size Optimization Technology

●
Space Efficiency: Stores 20 plate stacks vertically with 95mm layer spacing (35% denser than pallet racks)1
●
Modular Base Design: 230kg separable unit with quick-release mechanism for containerized shipping3
●
Structural Reinforcements:Over-engineered drawer frames with chamfered corners
○
Uniform high-grade steel construction across both systems
2. Forklift-Accessible Sheet Metal Storage System
