Die storage racks are heavy-duty steel systems used to store injection, press, sheet-forming, casting and custom production dies safely, accessibly and systematically. They prevent uncontrolled floor storage, improve space utilization and help shorten die-change operations.
Each system is engineered specifically according to die dimensions, weights, center of gravity, lifting method, crane or forklift access, rack height, floor capacity and facility workflow.
A die storage rack is an industrial steel system used to store high-weight production dies safely on fixed rack bays, pull-out drawers or carrying platforms.
Depending on project requirements, the system may include:
Upright, beam and platform sections are sized according to actual die weight and load distribution.
Defined storage bays simplify inventory, maintenance and usage tracking.
Layouts designed for crane, forklift or transport-cart access speed up retrieval and placement.
Limit contact between dies, exposure to floor moisture and impact, and uncontrolled sliding.
Keep heavy dies in fixed, anchored systems equipped with suitable safety components.
Additional modules, platforms or storage bays can be added when new dies are introduced.
Durable systems where dies are placed directly using forklifts, cranes or transport carts.
Use outward-moving platforms to facilitate overhead crane access.
Use roller surfaces to move dies across the platform in a controlled manner.
Rack bays and fork clearances are arranged for safe forklift loading.
Provide open top access and suitable clearances for lifting lugs and safe load handling.
Developed for very heavy, oversized, asymmetrical or specially lifted dies.
Each project is evaluated individually according to die inventory, lifting method and site conditions.
Die dimensions, weights, quantities, frequency of use, lifting method, crane routes, forklift traffic and floor conditions are evaluated.
Rack rows, access directions, bay dimensions, upright and beam sections, platform structure, movement mechanisms, stops and anchoring details are determined.
Profiles, plates, platforms, rollers, slides and connection components are cut, drilled, formed and assembled according to project dimensions.
Electrostatic powder coating, wet paint, galvanizing or protective coating is applied. Dimensions, welds, platforms, locks and connections are inspected.
Movement, locking, stops, access clearances and loading scenarios are tested on pull-out and roller systems.
Rack components are delivered, installed, aligned and anchored; mechanism adjustments and final inspections are completed.
Existing die racks may develop forklift-impact damage, movement-mechanism wear, beam deformation, weld cracks, loose connections or anchoring problems. Heavier new dies or changes in use may also make the current system insufficient.
Following a technical inspection, the following works may be carried out:
Material and surface treatment are selected according to die weight, movement system and operating environment.
Provide high load capacity for uprights, beams and platform supports.
Can be produced as flat plate, bent plate, profile-supported or grating surfaces according to die base dimensions and point loads.
Provide controlled movement in pull-out and movable rack systems.
Can be considered for applications requiring hygiene, wash-down resistance or high corrosion protection.
Provide durable surfaces for indoor use and applications requiring specific chemical resistance.
Provides long-term protection in humid, semi-open or highly corrosive environments.
Projects are not limited to standard rack dimensions; they are prepared according to actual die weights, dimensions, lifting method, crane and forklift conditions, operator access and floor structure.
Site survey, technical design, steel fabrication, movement-mechanism production, surface treatment and professional installation are managed within a single process. Reinforcement, platform and drawer modification, module addition and capacity increase can also be carried out on existing racks.
Capacity is engineered according to die weight, rack span, platform structure, number of levels and floor conditions.
Yes. Bearing, slide or roller pull-out mechanisms can be designed according to die weight and crane access.
No. They are prepared specifically according to die dimensions, weights, lifting method and site layout.
Yes. Fork-entry clearances, top access, drawer movement and lifting-lug access can be designed together.
Yes. Uprights, beams, platforms, anchors and movement mechanisms can be renewed or reinforced following technical inspection.
Yes. Shipment, installation, alignment, anchoring, mechanism adjustment and final inspections can be included in the project scope.
Technical assessment and project engineering can be provided for a rack system suited to your die dimensions, weights, lifting method and facility layout.
