Your shop floor is crowded with piles of forgings, WIP is a logistical nightmare, and product damage from clumsy handling is eating into your profits. Standard pallets collapse, and steel bins are just black holes for inventory. It's time to stop stacking problems and start stacking solutions.
Wooden pallets splinter and fail under the concentrated weight of steel forgings. Solid steel bins are heavy, hard to manage, and offer zero inventory visibility. You're left with a system that actively works against lean manufacturing principles, creating waste, risk, and inefficiency at every turn.
Engineered to handle extreme point loads, our industrial stacking racks provide the structural integrity that heavy forgings demand.
Imagine safely stacking your forgings four or five units high. The posts on each rack create a solid, interlocking frame, allowing you to convert your previously wasted overhead space into active, organized storage. This isn't just about tidiness; it's about consolidating your footprint and freeing up valuable floor space for new machinery or improved workflow.
The self-aligning "cup feet" design makes stacking fast, safe, and efficient, even in a busy production environment.
Each set of forgings is contained within its own protective steel cube. There's no part-on-part contact between layers, eliminating the risk of impact damage during storage and transit. For high-value, near-net-shape forgings, this means a dramatic reduction in scrap and rework, translating directly to your bottom line.
The entire unit, holding up to 4,000 lbs of forgings, is a single, mobile unit. A forklift operator can pick up an entire batch from the cooling area and move it directly to the next stage—be it shot blasting, machining, or shipping. This drastically reduces material handling time, eliminates manual labor, and streamlines your entire production sequence. These aren't static shelves; they are dynamic portable stack racks that move at the speed of your business.
A forging plant is no place for light-duty equipment. Our pallet stillages are constructed from high-grade Q235 structural steel and fully welded for maximum rigidity and impact resistance. They are built to withstand the daily abuse of forklift traffic, heavy loads, and the tough conditions of a metalworking facility.
The "skeleton" of a metal stack rack, showing the reinforced base and removable posts that form the core of its strength.
The posts are removable, which means when the racks are empty, the bases can be nested together, minimizing the space required for storage. This flexibility allows you to adapt your layout on the fly, responding to changing production demands without being locked into a fixed racking system.
Our standard heavy-duty models are typically rated for 2,000 to 4,000 lbs (approx. 900 to 1800 kg) per rack. However, we specialize in custom engineering and can design racks to handle much heavier capacities based on the specific weight and dimensions of your forgings.
Absolutely. The all-steel construction is non-combustible and can withstand the high temperatures common in a post-forging environment. Unlike wood or plastic pallets, there is no risk of melting or fire. For extreme heat applications, specific coatings can be discussed.
Our post pallets offer superior stacking stability compared to most bins. They provide better product protection than open wire baskets and offer far greater inventory visibility and accessibility than solid bins. Furthermore, the removable posts allow for efficient empty storage, a feature bins and baskets lack.
Yes. Customization is our strength. We design the base size (length and width) and post height to perfectly match your parts, ensuring a snug fit that prevents movement and maximizes storage density for your unique application.
By creating stable, engineered unit loads, it eliminates the primary cause of accidents associated with storing heavy parts: unstable piles. It also significantly reduces the need for manual handling of heavy individual forgings, minimizing the risk of back injuries and other strains.
