Sheet Rack (5)

Types of Sheet Racks

1. Horizontal Sheet Racks

   • Store sheets in flat stacks.

   • Often have multiple levels or trays that can slide out for easy loading and unloading.

   • Good for storing large quantities of the same material.

2. Vertical Sheet Racks

   • Store sheets on edge, leaning against dividers.

   • Save floor space and make it easier to pull single sheets.

   • Useful for shops needing frequent access to different types of sheet materials.

3. Roll-Out Sheet Racks

   • Feature pull-out drawers or shelves for single sheets or small stacks.

   • Improve ergonomics and reduce risk of injury since workers don’t have to lift heavy sheets from the middle of a stack.

   • Common in metal fabrication and woodworking shops.

4. Mobile Sheet Racks

   • Equipped with casters for easy transport around a warehouse or shop floor.

   • Great for moving materials between storage and workstations.

Benefits of Using Sheet Racks

• Organization – Keeps large sheet goods sorted and easily identifiable.

• Space Efficiency – Maximizes use of floor space while keeping materials accessible.

• Safety – Reduces the chance of sheets tipping, falling, or being damaged.

• Productivity – Easier handling saves time during material retrieval.

• Protection – Prevents scratches, dents, and warping compared to stacking sheets on the floor.

Common Uses

• Woodworking & carpentry – For plywood, MDF, and hardwood panels.

• Glass shops – For sheet glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate.
