CFS Dual-Mode Sheet Metal Storage Rack: Industrial Case Study
2025-04-07 15:42
A Texas-based steel distributor required CFS sheet metal warehouse rack systems to manage mixed inventory (palletized/loose plates) with critical specifications:
●
Dual-Mode Design: Simultaneous support for 2500×1300mm pallets and 2440×1220mm loose plates4
●
Space Optimization: 2m vertical storage with 90-160mm layer spacing
●
Heavy-Duty Performance: 1,500kg/drawer capacity (1.5x safety factor)8
●
Ergonomic Handling: Vacuum lifter compatibility and crane integration
