At CFS Technical Solutions, we engineer industrial storage systems that combine precision design with operational efficiency. Our vertical sheet metal rack solutions, deployed for a Midwest-based acrylic manufacturer (disclosed as Alpha Fabricators under NDA), demonstrate how intelligent engineering maximizes storage density while protecting sensitive materials like acrylic and metal sheets.
Challenge: Space Constraints & Fragility Risks
The client required a system to store:
● Mixed panel sizes : 26" x 53" (650 x 1350 mm) to 67" x 75" (1700 x 1900 mm)
● Variable thickness : 0.08"–1" (2–25 mm) acrylic sheets
within a 79' x 79' (24 x 24 m) warehouse footprint.Existing issues included:
⚠️ 35% wasted vertical space
⚠️ Frequent surface scratches during retrieval
⚠️ Inability to store 1,180+ thick panels (≥0.2"/5 mm)
CFS Vertical Sheet Metal Rack: Engineering Innovations
1. Modular Storage Architecture
We developed a 15-unit rack system with:
● Space Optimization : 118"W x 107"D x 83"H (3000 x 2720 x 2115 mm) per rack
● Draagvermogen : 1,323 lbs (600 kg) per drawer
● Full-Extension Access : 195" (4945 mm) drawer travel for crane-compatible loading
2. Dual-Material Compatibility
While designed for acrylic, the system’s reinforced cold-rolled steel framework supports:
✔️ Aluminum sheets
✔️ Stainless steel plates
✔️ Composite panels 3. Protective Design Features
● 3° angled drawers with anti-tip railings (ASTM D642 compliance)
● EPDM rubber edge guards reducing impact forces by 62%
● Electrostatic powder coating (RAL 9003 signal white) for scratch resistance
Operational Results: 18-Month Performance Data
| Metriek | Pre-CFS | Post-CFS | Improvement |
| Opslagdichtheid | 940 panels | 1,880 panels | +100% |
| Schadepercentage | 14% | 1.2% | -91% |
| Retrieval Time | 8 mins/panel | 2.5 mins/panel | -69% |
The client achieved $217,000 annual savings through reduced material waste and labor optimization.
