Industry Solutions

In the heavy plate processing industry, ultra-long plates over three meters, four meters, or even six meters in length have always been a challenge for warehouse storage management. Standard shelves with limited dimensions cannot accommodate long plates, and stacking them on the ground occupies a large area of the workshop. The traditional storage model is no longer suitable for modern factories due to their production rhythms. The 1560 Hand Cranked Sheet Metal Storage is specifically designed to address the pain points of the ultra-long plate industry, providing a complete set of lightweight, low-cost, and high-efficiency storage solutions that are adaptable to various industrial conditions and can be implemented in practice.

Laser Cutting Industry Solution. In large laser cutting factories, there are common problems with long plate specifications, multiple thicknesses, and diverse materials. Stacking long plates on the ground not only occupies a large production area but also causes longer loading distances for equipment and chaotic transportation paths. When stacking multiple layers of long plates, the lower layer is prone to bending and deformation due to pressure, and high-value stainless steel plates and mirror panels are highly susceptible to scratches and losses. Using the 1560-style hand-cranked sheet metal storage can achieve independent storage of ultra-long plates in layers, with each specification and material of plates being classified separately. There is no need for stacking and squeezing, and the plate surface is more intact. The hand-cranked pull-out structure does not require forklift cooperation, and a single person in the workshop can complete the retrieval and placement of long plates, meeting the rapid loading requirements of laser equipment, significantly improving the cutting production efficiency, and making the material circulation in the workshop more orderly.

Stainless Steel Plate Trading Industry Solution. For plate trading enterprises, the inventory of plates is large, the length specifications are diverse, and the frequency of entry and exit is high. Stacking ultra-long plates chaotically can easily lead to inventory chaos, difficult inventory checks, and shipping errors. This plate storage specifically adapts to the storage of plates within six meters and can be used in multiple industries. The three-dimensional layered design greatly reduces the storage area, making the warehouse inventory clear at a glance, convenient for staff to conduct daily inventory, sorting, and shipping. The pure manual structure has no power consumption and can be placed at any position in the warehouse, adapting to the high-frequency turnover and multiple batch entries and exits of the trading warehouse operation mode, effectively improving the standardization level of storage.

Sheet Metal Processing and Machinery Industry Solution. In heavy industry enterprises, the lengths of commonly used elongated steel plates, wear-resistant plates, and mold plates are long and heavy, making manual handling difficult. Traditional storage relies on forklift hoisting, with a cumbersome operation process and potential safety hazards. This product adopts a heavy-duty reinforced structure to stably support ultra-long heavy plates. The drawer-pull-out design allows the plates to be horizontally removed without the need for high-altitude hoisting, avoiding the risks of high-altitude work. The overall structure of the equipment is stable and has strong impact resistance, adapting to the high-intensity and high-load working environment of heavy industry workshops, helping the workshop achieve safe and standardized storage management.

Decorative Plates and Aluminum Plate Processing Industry Solution. Decorative aluminum plates, color-coated plates, and curtain wall plates have extremely high requirements for plate surface appearance. Traditional stacking methods are prone to causing scratches, dents, and deformation, resulting in a high rate of product scrap. The 1560-style hand-cranked sheet metal storage's layered independent storage mode can fundamentally avoid plate friction and squeezing, effectively protecting the appearance quality of the plates. The equipment size is suitable for ultra-long decorative plates and can meet the needs of whole plate storage, without the need for cutting and segmenting, reducing material waste, and is suitable for high-end decorative plate processing enterprises.

Renovation of Old Factories Solution. Many traditional processing workshops have outdated circuit layouts, narrow spaces, and narrow passages, making it impossible to install large electric sheet metal storage and automated storage equipment, limiting the upgrade of storage. This sheet metal storage does not require electricity connection, complex installation, and has a small. It is suitable for the renovation of old workshops，does not require circuit modification or site rectification，and can be placed and assembled for immediate use，completing the upgrade of old warehouses at a low cost，adapting to various restricted workshop conditions.

Product Lifecycle and Maintenance Guide

1560 Hand Cranked Sheet Metal Storage is manufactured using thickened national standard steel and industrial-grade transmission components. The overall structure is sturdy and durable. Unlike ordinary lightweight sheet metal shelves, the complete product can last for fifteen to eighteen years. It is one of the categories with a longer lifecycle among industrial storage equipment. Based on the characteristics of the equipment, the product lifecycle can be divided into three stages: the break-in period, the stable operation period, and the aging maintenance period. Targeted maintenance in different stages can maximize the extension of the equipment's service life and ensure operational stability.

The break-in period lasts from one to twelve months. After the installation of a new device, the transmission gears, chains, slide rails, and drawer structures are in the matching stage, and the mechanical components' bite degree gradually stabilizes. During this period, it is necessary to avoid sudden heavy loads, unilateral uneven loading, and violent shaking. It is recommended to store materials within 90% of the rated load to allow the equipment structure to naturally adapt. During the break-in period, a simple inspection should be conducted once a week to check if the hand-cranked transmission is smooth, if the bolts are tightened, and if the drawers are level. Minor issues should be adjusted promptly to avoid small problems accumulating into equipment failures, laying the foundation for long-term stable use.

The stable operation period lasts from one to twelve years. This is the core usage period of the 1560 hand-cranked sheet metal storage. The equipment structure, transmission system, and load-bearing performance are all at their best state, capable of meeting the factory's frequent and regular storage and retrieval operations. During this period, the equipment failure rate is extremely low, with almost no maintenance needs. Daily maintenance only requires basic upkeep, keeping the equipment surface clean and tidy, avoiding the long-term accumulation of heavy dust, oil, and corrosion on the coating and components. Monthly inspections should be conducted to check the tightness of the hand-cranked transmission, the smoothness of the slide rails, and the stability of the drawer positioning. The overall connecting bolts should be tightened once every quarter to ensure the equipment structure is firm and stable.

The aging maintenance period lasts for more than twelve years. After long-term heavy-load operation, the slide rails, gears, and rotating wheels of the moving parts will undergo normal minor wear, and the surface spray coating may show local aging and fading. During this period, there is no need to replace the entire equipment. Only targeted replacement of components and coating repair are required. Replace the worn-out transmission parts promptly, apply anti-corrosion coatings on rusted and peeling areas, and the equipment can continue to be used for several years, significantly reducing the equipment replacement cost. The general daily maintenance guide is simple and easy to operate, suitable for enterprises to maintain independently. Maintain the hand-cranked operation at a uniform and gentle speed, and prohibit rapid and violent shaking or pulling. Protect the transmission gear structure. Keep the warehouse ventilated and dry, avoid long-term water accumulation, high salt fog, and strong corrosive environments that erode the equipment. Do not stack long sheets with excessive load or uneven loading, ensuring uniform force on each layer of materials. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the gears, chains, and slide rails monthly to prevent dryness and jamming. Do not privately strike, pry, or cut the equipment structure. Contact the manufacturer for immediate repair in case of equipment failure to avoid working with faults. Under standardized maintenance, the 1560 hand-cranked sheet metal storage can maintain stable performance for a long time, significantly reducing the cost of equipment replacement.

Cost Saving Calculator

The core purpose of enterprises in purchasing and storing warehouse equipment is to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The 1560 manual-operated sheet storage unit can directly and intuitively reduce expenses for enterprises in five aspects: site rent, labor costs, material loss, equipment maintenance, and production capacity improvement. The following is a reference for the actual cost calculation in the factory, which is convenient for enterprises to clearly calculate the return on investment.

Site rent cost saving. When stacking long sheets on the ground, one hundred sheets require more than one hundred square meters of space. After using the 1560 manual-operated sheet storage unit, only fifteen to twenty square meters are needed for storage, and it can save more than eighty square meters of space each time. Based on the average rent of industrial buildings, it can save tens of thousands of yuan in rent each year. The larger the site and the greater the inventory, the higher the annual rent savings.

Manual handling cost saving. Traditional long sheet extraction requires two to three people to cooperate in stacking, lifting, and aligning. Each extraction takes several minutes, and the labor time is large. After using the 1560 manual-operated sheet storage unit, a single person can easily pull and extract the material by hand, and the single-extraction time is shortened by eighty percent. Each day, a large amount of labor time can be saved, and calculated on a monthly basis, a significant amount of labor expenses can be reduced, significantly lowering the labor cost in the workshop.

Material scrap cost saving. When stacking extremely long sheets, the lower layers of sheets are under long-term pressure and deformation, and the surface is scratched. The scrap rate of high-value sheets can reach five to ten percent. With the 1560 manual-operated sheet storage unit that stores sheets separately by layers, there is no compression or friction, and the scrap loss is almost zero. For enterprises that process high-end sheets for a long time, it can save a large amount of material loss costs each year.

Equipment maintenance cost saving. Electric long sheet storage units have high purchase prices, and the motors and electrical controls are prone to damage, with expensive maintenance costs. Regular maintenance and repair are required every year. The 1560 manual-operated sheet storage unit has a purely mechanical structure, without motors, circuits, or easily damaged electronic components, and has almost zero maintenance costs. It can save thousands to tens of thousands of yuan in equipment maintenance and repair expenses each year.

Hidden benefits of production capacity improvement. After the efficiency of sheet extraction is improved, the speed of material feeding in the workshop is faster, the standby time of equipment is shortened, and the production capacity of laser cutting and sheet metal processing steadily improves, the order delivery efficiency is higher, the enterprise's order acceptance ability is stronger, bringing hidden economic benefits, and the long-term use has a very considerable comprehensive return.
