Sheet Metal & Steel Sheets
Keep Sheet Metal Flat and Accessible
Sheet metal needs flat, stable support to stay damage-free and easy to retrieve. Dexco designs structural steel storage systems built to hold sheet metal securely and support the way your team loads and picks it.
Keep Sheets Flat
Unsupported sheets bow, sag, and take a set that ruins the next part. Full-length arm support holds each bundle true so it stays flat and ready to run.
Speed Up Retrieval
Digging through floor stacks for one gauge stalls the whole line. Sorted, front-accessible storage lets operators pull the exact sheet in seconds.
Protect the Surface
Scratches, edge dings, and slid stacks scrap finished-grade sheet fast. Organized, separated storage keeps surface quality intact from delivery to press.
Load Bundles Safely
Wrestling heavy, awkward bundles by hand invites injury and damage. Open-arm access lets forklifts and cranes place and pull them cleanly.
Sheet Metal Storage Specifications
Material handling and access
The right layout depends on how your team moves sheets in and out. Dexco systems are engineered around your equipment and press-line workflow.
- Optimized sheet and bundle access during loading and unloading to speed up order picking
- Compatible with forklifts, cranes, hoists, and automated handling systems
- Open design enables forklift access and easy handling of varying sheet sizes
- Heavy bundles held securely and flat to reduce strain and accident risk
- Organize by gauge, size, or job so the right stock is always reachable
Structural specifications
Standard construction
- Structural I-beam framing engineered to AISC standards for lateral rigidity
- Engineered to support sheet bundle loads well beyond standard 20,000-lb arm ratings
- Higher load capacity than comparable roll-formed or tube-steel racks
- Bolted shelf beams adjust in 4-inch increments as tooling needs change
- Beams attach to columns with ASTM A325 structural bolts
- Predrilled baseplates allow a secure anchor-bolt connection to the floor
- Modular bays add easily; bundled columns and beams ship cost-effectively
- Factory-applied powder-coat finish for rust and wear protection
Available options
- Single or double-sided models to match aisle layout
- Flat decks, open beams, forklift entry bars, or removable panels
- Backstop beams to keep sheets from being pushed off the back
- Standard or shed configurations for indoor or outdoor storage
- Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion protection in harsh or outdoor settings
- Standard designs for shorter lead times, or custom engineering for unique needs
Storing heavy steel sheet bundles that turn over daily in a service center? That is exactly the kind of throughput our engineering team designs around. Share your specs, and we will scope it!
Proven Ways to Store Sheet Metal and Steel Sheets
Not sure which fits? Share your sheet sizes, bundle weights, and handling method, and we’ll design the right system for your operations.
Widespan Racking Systems
Wide, flat-decked shelves give continuous support that keeps sheets from sagging while holding the widest range of gauges and bundle sizes.
Floor Racking Systems
Floor-beam designs hold sheet bundles on beam-supported bays at ground level. Floor racks are rugged, simple to use, and fast to load.
Cantilever Racking Systems
A strong fit where clear arm access matters more than maximum stacked density, and available in standard or outdoor shed configurations.
