Heavy-duty mold storage poses major warehouse-management challenges in injection-molding, metal stamping, die-casting and other manufacturing workshops. Molds often weigh hundreds to over a thousand kilograms. Traditional floor stacking wastes floor space and makes mold searching difficult. Conventional hand-pull mold racks require multiple workers to push heavy drawers during mold change-overs, resulting in low productivity. They also carry safety risks such as unexpected drawer slippage and operator strain injuries.
Working Principle
Powered by compressed air, the pneumatic mold rack extends and retracts shelves via a pneumatic control system. Operators simply activate switches to access molds without manual pulling or pushing, significantly cutting physical workload for heavy-load handling.
Key Advantages
Pneumatic–powered, effortless operation
Driven by compressed air instead of manual pulling. One-touch switch control drastically reduces labor intensity for daily heavy-mold handling.
Smooth operation with comprehensive safety protection
Pneumatic buffer dampers deliver soft start-stop motion with no impact. Integrated mechanical locking and limit stops prevent accidental drawer slippage, safeguarding both molds and staff during frequent mold-change cycles.
Vertical high–density storage to save floor space
Multi-level vertical design maximizes overhead warehouse capacity. Molds are stored in designated positions to eliminate messy stacking. Workshop layout stays neat, and mold inventory & retrieval become straightforward.
Crane–lifting compatible & fully customizable
Full-extension drawers provide ample clearance for crane lifting to avoid mold collision. Customizable tiers and load-bearing capacities are available. Anti-corrosion powder-coated surfaces resist oil contamination, ideal for injection-molding and die-casting workshop environments.
