A Heavy Duty Mould Rack is a specialized industrial storage system designed to store heavy injection moulds, dies, and other bulky tools in an organized, safe, and space-efficient manner. These racks are commonly used in manufacturing industries, especially in plastic injection molding, metal stamping, and die-casting sectors.

• Robust Construction: Made from strong materials like steel to support the weight of heavy moulds.
• Sliding or Pull-Out Shelves: Each shelf can be pulled out (manually or with rollers) to easily access the moulds without needing to lift them entirely.
• High Load Capacity: Each shelf can typically hold several hundred kilograms or even more, depending on the design.
• Safety Locks: Shelves usually have safety locks to prevent accidental movement during loading or unloading.
• Customizable: Available in various sizes and configurations to suit different mould sizes and weights.

Heavy Duty Mould Racks are primarily made from high-strength steel due to the need for durability and load-bearing capacity.

• Steel Plates: Shelves or drawers are made from thick steel plates (often 2mm to 6mm or more) depending on the load requirement. Some shelves may have reinforced ribs for extra strength.
• Ball Bearings or Rollers: For pull-out drawers, smooth sliding is enabled using heavy-duty bearings or rollers made from hardened steel or sometimes nylon for noise reduction.
• Fasteners and Locking Mechanisms: Made from high-tensile bolts and nuts, sometimes with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Safety locks and latches are made of steel or alloy to ensure secure locking.

The load capacity of each shelf on a Heavy Duty Mould Rack depends on several factors, including the material strength, design of the rack, and the type of moulds being stored.

• Light Duty Mould Racks: Up to 200–300 kg per shelf.
• Medium Duty Mould Racks: Around 500–700 kg per shelf.
• Heavy Duty Mould Racks: Can handle anywhere from 1,000 kg to 2,500 kg or more per shelf, depending on the design and construction material.

Heavy Duty Mould Racks can be either movable or fixed, depending on their design and intended use.

• Wheeled Bases: These racks are equipped with heavy-duty wheels or casters (sometimes with locking mechanisms) to make them easy to move around the workshop or warehouse.
• Types of Movement:
• Manual Movement: Racks can be pushed or pulled by hand, especially in smaller configurations.
• Motorized Movement: Larger systems might have motorized wheels for automated movement, particularly in large-scale operations.
