Suggestions Please for Storing Sheet Materials

<< < (5/6) > >>

I like that man with his mower gadget.  :thumbup:
Here's a couple of my pix. My large sheet materials are mostly of the wooden variety, so a little easier to handle.
1. Just different materials on pallets on the floor
2. Proper version of pic 1
3. Sheet storage of all types. Main uprights could hold the full sheets and offcuts go in the centres
4. ditto
May spark one of your cunning plans.  :D

Nice Pallet racking Pete  :thumbup:

Sadly no room in the welding shop for that or it would be ideal.

I use ( for wood sheets 18 and 20mm ply) slotted beams on the floor. Cut slots into them at intervals to stop base of sheet sliding about . Then stack on edge with one edge in a slot. If you did that and put a wire rope over top or chain to stop em coming over at you should one get "nudged" by something /someone should be safe. To extract a sheet use your sheet puller on the end to withdraw lengthwise from the stack, assuming you have end access?

I found the item I mentioned in my Buck & Hickman catalogue.  Here's the relevant entry:

(The prices are 1971/72!!)

I gave up in the end, and, fed up with a pile of 6 mm 2.5 x 1.25 Metre steel plates on the floor of the workshop I cut them all down into half sheets that will lay flat on a pallet.

My old Duplex 1/4" nibbler worked overtime cutting many feet of plate, but worked an absolute treat, producing a  very impressive pile of 6 mm cubic shrapnel  :bugeye:
