The IMS High-Density Metal Storage System with Forklift-Accessible Sheet Racking is engineered for workshops and warehouses that need to store large volumes of sheet metal safely, efficiently, and with minimal manual handling. This system transforms traditional floor-stacking into a structured, high-capacity vertical storage solution that significantly improves accessibility and operational flow.
Built with forklift access as a core feature, each pallet is fitted with precision-positioned sleepers, creating clear channels for forklift tines. Operators can load or unload sheets quickly and accurately without the risks associated with manual lifting or unbalanced sheet stacks. The result is safer handling, reduced labour effort, and dramatically improved material-flow efficiency.
Designed for modern metal-processing environments—including fabrication shops, manufacturers, distribution centres, and construction workshops—the IMS system increases storage density by utilising vertical space, enabling up to 12 layers of sheet storage in a compact footprint. Each layer is engineered to handle heavy plate materials and is supported by a durable, powder-coated steel frame built for harsh industrial conditions.
Whether storing 2000 × 1000 mm plates or larger 3000 × 1500 mm sheets, the system accommodates a wide range of sheet sizes and thicknesses. Its drawer-style structure, classified layout, and forklift-ready design enable fast retrieval and accurate inventory organisation—helping reduce downtime and prevent sheet damage during handling.
Fully customisable, the IMS High-Density Metal Storage System can be configured to your workshop’s unique requirements—layer count, spacing, load rating, and sheet dimensions. It is the ideal solution for businesses seeking to improve capacity, increase safety, and streamline their material-handling process.
