No more lack of space for storing metal sheets, profiles and pipes

However, a lot of metal companies do not have enough space to store these raw materials efficiently and safely. Others lose an overview of their stock, as a result of which valuable time is lost in the search for the right materials. Eurostorage from Nevele distributes storage systems that significantly improve the life of the metal worker.

Eurostorage offers a wide range of storage options for all types of plates, from small pieces of 1 to 2 m to heavy plates of 6 m, as well as for any type of tube or profile, from light tubular profiles to heavy, full shafts with lengths of 3, 4 and 6 to even 20 m. The range includes manual and automated solutions, including long-storage racks and shelving for profiles and tubes, fitted with roll-out drawers or pull-out cassettes, as well as horizontal and vertical plate racks and mobile drawer frames. Each system is completely custom produced and adapted to the material in question.

Storage systems for profiles and tubes

If you are looking for a compact storage system for your profiles and pipes, Eurostorage has the choice of storage racks with retractable cassettes, horizontal drawer racks, roll-out and rotary arm racks. "With our long goods roll-out shelving we offer our customers a compact and well-organized storage system for all long goods up to 20 m. Thanks to the 100% roll-out drawers, one always has full access to the materials, so everything can be stored and removed safely. Since the customer can choose the load capacity and the number of drawers, this is the solution of choice for the storage of your long goods," explains manager Geert Desmedt. "The swivel arm rack as the little sister of this roll-out rack is in turn suitable for efficient storage of all types of long goods up to 6 m."

Horizontal slab storage systems

In addition to these systems for profiles and pipes, Eurostorage also offers an appropriate customized solution for the safe and compact storage of metal sheets every time. The plate rack horizontally is equipped with drawers, which can 100% extend outside the rack, allowing easy removal of the plates by just one person using suction cups, a loading crane, a loading bridge or a slewing column. In production halls, where the plate rack cannot be placed close to the machine, it is better to opt for a plate rack forklift. These include cassettes with fork openings, which can be taken out of the rack with the forklift to be transported to other locations in production. The sleeve openings in the cassettes ensure that the plates can never be damaged. "Our plate warehouse combines a plate rack horizontally at the bottom with a plate rack forklift at the top, allowing us to create a tower with 25 storage spaces," adds the business manager. "This way, one gets an efficient storage system with very many drawers in a small area."

Vertical plate storage systems 

Those who prefer to opt for vertical storage of their plates will also find what they are looking for at Eurostorage. The plate rack vertical, available in a light and heavy model, is a compact solution for plate material and remnants. Here too, the drawers 100% are extendable, making the sheets immediately available and allowing one to work quickly and safely. "For storage areas with limited available depth, we propose mobile drawer frames. The sliding drawers ensure compact and orderly storage of metal sheets. Because these drawer frames, equipped with wheels, are mounted on two parallel rails, one can always shift them to the left or right, creating an aisle between two drawer frames," Desmedt concludes. "For heavy metal plates up to 20 tons, we offer our plate rack U-box. This automated plate rack with electrically sliding drawers allows the user to store all plate material in a limited space. Also with this solution, the different drawers are mounted on rails, allowing them to be easily moved and creating an aisle."
