Vertical Sheet Racks
The rack for everything the big rack does not hold: remnants, drops, cut pieces and partial sheets. Fifteen vertical drawers in a footprint small enough to park beside the machine.
Every shop has the pile. Half sheets and drops leaned against a wall behind the shear, sorted by nothing, checked by nobody. It gets picked through until the good pieces are gone, and then it gets thrown in the dumpster and bought again.
A vertical sheet rack is the fix. Each piece stands on its own roll-out drawer, visible from the aisle, labeled if you want it labeled. Your operator finds the remnant in fifteen seconds instead of deciding it is easier to cut a new sheet.
Why vertical for remnants
Flat storage is right for full sheets, where the weight is the problem. Remnants have a different problem: there are a lot of them, they are all different, and nobody can see what is there. Standing them up solves visibility, and putting each one on its own drawer solves access.
- 1,500 lb per drawer, and each frame section takes up to 15 roll-out mounts.
- Eight bearings align every drawer, so a loaded drawer pulls straight and does not rack or bind.
- Full extension, non-skid drawer surface. The piece comes to you and stays put while you handle it.
- One-person operation. No second set of hands, no forklift, no waiting.
- Compact footprint that fits next to the machine, so the material lives where it gets used.
The case in one line: a remnant you cannot find is a remnant you paid for twice. Most shops can put a real number on this by looking at how much sheet stock they scrap in a year.

Specifications
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 1,500 lb per vertical drawer |
| Drawers per section | Up to 15 |
| Models | 8 standard sizes, 6 ft x 4 ft through 12 ft x 5 ft |
| Drawer guidance | 8 bearings per drawer, full extension |
| Drawer surface | Non-skid |
| Construction | Steel, industrial powder coat |
| Options | Wire mesh backing, removable holding arms, protective lining |
| Stores | Sheet metal, plate, plastic sheet, plywood and panel stock |
Protective lining is worth asking about if you run polished, coated or stainless stock. It is a small adder that prevents the scratch that turns a good remnant into scrap.
Where it goes in the shop
- Beside the laser or plasma table, so the operator can pull a remnant without walking to the rack aisle.
- At the shear or brake, catching drops as they are made instead of at the end of the shift.
- In a panel or sign shop, holding aluminum, ACM and acrylic sheet where warping and edge damage are the real cost.
- Next to a full-sheet rack, as the second half of the system. Full sheets flat, partials vertical.
Common questions
What is the difference between this and a regular sheet rack?
A standard sheet rack stores full sheets lying flat, up to 5,000 pounds a drawer. A vertical sheet rack stands pieces on edge at 1,500 pounds a drawer. Flat is for full sheets and weight; vertical is for many smaller pieces you need to see and reach quickly. Most shops that buy one eventually buy both.
Will it damage the edges of the material?
The drawers have non-skid surfaces and optional protective lining and holding arms. If you run material where surface finish matters, tell us when we spec it and we will include the lining.
How much floor space does it take?
Standard models start at a 6 ft x 4 ft footprint. It is designed to sit near the machine rather than in a rack aisle, which is a big part of why it works.
Can it store plywood or plastic sheet?
Yes. The same design handles plywood, ACM, acrylic and other panel stock. Weight per drawer is the limit, not the material.
Do the drawers lock?
The drawers are guided and stay in position when closed. If you need a positive lockout for a specific application, ask us and we will spec it.
