SPECIALTY STORAGE SYSTEMS

SPECIALTY MATERIAL STORAGE

Store sheet metal, long stock, reels and difficult materials around the way they are handled. Two3 helps match specialty racks to product dimensions, load weights, access needs and floor space.

START WITH THE MATERIAL

WHEN STANDARD PALLET RACK DOES NOT MATCH THE PRODUCT, START WITH ITS SHAPE AND HANDLING

Specialty material storage covers products that are long, flat, round, flexible or unusually heavy. Sheet-metal racks, honeycomb systems, reel racks, roll-out racks and cantilever configurations each solve different handling problems.

Storage options for difficult material profiles

  • Sheet and plate storage

    Organize flat stock by size, grade or job while supporting crane, forklift or manual access.

  • Reel and spool storage

    Support cable, wire, hose and other reeled material with controlled dispensing and clear identification.

  • Long-stock storage

    Use cantilever, honeycomb or compartment systems to separate bar, tube, extrusion, lumber and similar materials.

MATCH STORAGE TO HANDLING

The handling method should drive the storage configuration

A rack that saves floor space but conflicts with the crane, forklift or picking method can slow the operation. Two3 evaluates storage density together with load access, aisle clearance, product protection, ergonomics and future product mix.

  • Material length, width, diameter and bundle size
  • Individual and total storage loads
  • Manual, forklift, crane or powered retrieval
  • Identification and inventory separation
  • Growth and product-mix changes

Information needed to narrow the options

  • Material dimensions

    List minimum and maximum length, width, diameter, thickness and bundle size.

  • Weight and capacity

    Confirm individual item, compartment, arm, shelf and total-bay loads.

  • Retrieval method

    Document whether material is handled manually, by forklift, with a crane or through a powered roll-out system.

IMAGINE

Start with the operation and the constraint

We group materials by geometry, weight, access and movement before comparing storage types.

SPECIALTY STORAGE FAQ

Questions about specialty material storage

What is honeycomb storage used for?

Honeycomb or compartment storage separates long materials such as tubing, bar stock and extrusions into accessible openings.

When does a reel rack make sense?

Reel racks are useful when material must remain organized on spools and may need controlled dispensing at the rack.

Can different specialty systems be combined?

Yes. A facility may use cantilever, sheet racks, reel racks and drawer or roll-out systems for different material families.

Have material that does not fit standard rack?

Send the material profile and handling details. We will help compare practical storage options.
