Custom-Built Mold-Storage Racks
PCS Company’s mold-storage racks have multiple standard features to support and protect molds, dies, components and auxiliary equipment.
PCS Company offers custom-built mold storage racks to provide practical storage, in addition to safe and easy access to molds and supplies for employees. PCS notes that storage space for molds, components and auxiliary equipment is often at a premium for plastics processing facilities. The shelves’ capacity, including the fixed top shelf, ranges up to 4000 lb. There are four shelves per rack with adjustable heights, and they are accessible by crane or hoist via the ability to fully extend the shelves. Eight powder-coated finishes are available, with grey as standard. PCS notes that add-on racks are available to grow storage capacity as needed.
Additional safety accessory options include auto-lock features to prevent more than one shelf from being extended at the same time; a lock-out feature to prevent a shelf from moving during access; enclosed racks on backs and sides for added security (doors may also be added to front); and shelf lips to prevent round or tubular stock from rolling off of a shelf.
PCS Mold Storage Racks are custom built depending on various options such as height, depth, capacity per shelf and color. The storage racks can also be ordered as rear-loadable and bi-directional.
