Laser & Flame Cutting Shops
A production supervisor or operations director at a metal cutting shop, whether flame or laser, knows the standard habit with plates well: sheets placed on the floor, stacked in piles around the warehouse, then dragged and flipped by overhead crane or forklift whenever a size is needed. Stacking on the floor takes up space, buries the label, and scratches the face of the very plate you are about to cut. Terack telescopic cantilever racks place these plates vertically in drawer-like levels, lift them directly with the overhead crane, and allow one operator to remove a plate without scratches, without having to walk down the aisle.

Plates stacked on the floor are the most expensive floor space you own
For a production supervisor at a laser or flame cutting shop, the plate arrives on the trailer and is left where the truck stops. Sheets accumulate around the warehouse, the size and batch number disappear under the pile, and the cutting cell waits while someone looks for the right thickness. The shop does not lack square meters, but rather usable floor space, because every pile of plates on the floor is rent paid for space that cannot feed a machine. As order variety increases, piles multiply, and the bottleneck moves from the cutter to the material storage area.
Flipping plates on the floor is where damage and risks begin
The real cost of floor stacking appears during retrieval. A worker rigs the pile, the overhead crane lifts and swings over the aisle, and plates are dragged, flipped, and manually separated to find the one with the marked size. That is where the risk to the cutting face comes in, and where the overhead crane, forklift, and people converge in the same aisle at the same time. For an operations director evaluating supplier quotes, the hidden item in every cheap floor plan is rework due to handling damage and the insurance cost of cross traffic between crane and people that no plate rack has ever solved.
A drawer-type cantilever rack lifts the plate, not the people
Terack telescopic cantilever racks directly address the cutting shop's needs. Plates are stored vertically in drawer-like levels, each size on its own labeled level, so the overhead crane hooks the rack arm and lifts the plate directly, with no floor dragging, no flipping. One operator turns the crank, and the loaded arm extends 100% to a fixed crane lifting point, keeping the aisle clear and retrieval as a single controlled movement. For a supervisor comparing suppliers, this is the proof: a storage system designed so the crane and one person do the work that the old floor plan required three people and a swing.
Sized arms and padded contact protect the cutting face
Structurally, the uprights are Q235 carbon steel, and the arms are roller-guided and padded with EPDM on the contact edge, so the plate rests on a cushioned rail instead of being scraped against steel. Each arm is sized for 1500 kg dynamic and 4500 kg static load, and the span tonnage is calculated, not estimated, so a full drawer of plates extends to the crane without deflection. The result for the cutting shop is a material storage area that feeds the laser instead of blocking it: plates are visible by size, lifted without scratches, and the floor that piles occupied returns to the cutting cell and the forklift aisle.

- One operator removes a plate with a crank; no floor dragging, no scratches, no cross traffic in the aisle
