Drop and Push

The unique Drop and Push patent for tower bearings

storemaster® has the patented Drop and Push system. With this storage system innovation, cassettes for sheet metal and other flat goods can be pushed into tower storage without interference. In this way, sensitive sheet metal can be stored and removed safely in high racks or tower stores.

High-bay warehouses save space because they make optimum use of the available storage area "at height". With our patented infeed and outfeed, they ensure greater efficiency and faster, more reliable and safer material flow.

What is behind our patent?

In a tower storage system with the patented Drop and Push system, packs of sheet metal or cassettes can be inserted into the rack much more easily, comfortably and safely using a forklift truck. This saves time when handling the stored goods. The flat goods warehouse works more efficiently. The system "assists" the forklift drivers and warehouse staff. An angle-on-angle guide helps to store the system cassettes comfortably.

Description:

  • Protruding rails allow the cassettes to be placed outside the shelf - this is what is meant by "drop".
  • Outside the shelf, the trays can be removed from the cassette as required.
  • By storing them in packs, the sheets are kept particularly protected.
  • "Push" stands for the subsequent safe insertion. The superFLAT classic, superFLAT plus, masterFLAT or autoFLAT cassettes are inserted between the support brackets, which are extended to the front, in a contact-free and spacious manner.

Where is the Drop and Push patent used?

Other products in which Patent Drop and Push is used are the TwenTower® and the ShuttleMaster®each in the overhead top with system cassettes as an extension. The TwenTower® is one of storemasters® "Classics": a heavy-duty drawer rack with pull-out runners that can be swivelled in. Ideal for wood-free sheet metal packages. The ShuttleMaster® is, in a sense, the "little brother" of the ShuttleTowers®: the compact rack for manual one-man storage and retrieval of sheet metal cassettes without cranes or forklifts.
