Mold Rack with Drawer 100% Expanding systems from Detay Endüstri are designed for maximum accessibility, safety and efficiency in heavy mold storage. Each unit works as a high-capacity mold rack with fully extendable drawers that slide out to 100% of their depth. This full-extension feature allows operators to bring the entire mold out of the rack, giving unobstructed access for cranes, hoists or pallet trucks while maintaining a controlled and secure movement. These racks are ideal for demanding mold shop environments where fast changeovers, safe handling and clear mold visibility are essential.
Every level functions as a robust drawer mold rack, engineered with high-strength rails and locking mechanisms to carry very heavy loads. The system can be configured as a multi-level drawer rack system, allowing companies to group molds by machine, product family or size. When used as an injection rack near injection molding or die-casting machines, these racks dramatically reduce mold search times, lower the risk of damage and support a clean, standardized workflow. Their modular design makes it easy to expand capacity as the tooling inventory grows.
To create complete preparation and maintenance stations, Mold Rack with Drawer 100% Expanding systems can be combined with a heavy-duty industrial table or ergonomic workbench. Operators can fully extend the drawer, lift the mold onto the work surface, perform cleaning, inspection or repair, and then return it to storage with minimal transport. This integration supports 5S, SMED and other lean manufacturing practices by reducing wasteful movements and ensuring every mold has a clearly defined, labeled location within the mold rack.
Detay Endüstri also applies the same logic of ordered, safe storage to mobile operations. Companies operating a roadside assistance vehicle can equip it with an in-vehicle equipment rack, modular in-vehicle cabinet system, purpose-built in-vehicle material cabinet and secure in-vehicle tool cabinet. Each in-vehicle cabinet, in-vehicle rack and complete in-vehicle rack system is part of Detay Endüstri’s broader rack systems and in-vehicle equipment portfolio, extending the same level of organization and control found around the mold storage area.
By selecting Mold Rack with Drawer 100% Expanding solutions, manufacturers protect valuable tooling, increase safety during handling and create a scalable, future-proof mold management concept.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mold Rack with Drawer 100% Expanding
1. What is a Mold Rack with Drawer 100% Expanding?
It is a heavy-duty shelving system with fully extendable drawers that slide out 100% of their depth, designed for safe storage and handling of molds, dies and other heavy tools.
2. What is the advantage of 100% extension?
Full extension gives complete access to the mold, making it easier to connect lifting equipment, inspect surfaces and perform maintenance without awkward, unsafe handling.
3. How does it differ from a standard mold rack?
A conventional mold rack often has fixed shelves. The 100% expanding version uses sliding drawers, reducing manual lifting and the need for forklifts deep inside the rack.
4. Can the system be configured as a multi-level drawer rack system?
Yes, it can be designed as a long, high-capacity drawer rack system with several levels, tailored to your mold dimensions and quantities.
5. Is it suitable as an injection rack next to molding machines?
Absolutely. Many facilities use it as an injection rack to keep molds close to machines and shorten changeover times.
6. What kind of load capacity does each drawer have?
Load capacity depends on the specific model, but drawers are engineered for heavy industrial molds and must only be loaded within the manufacturer’s stated limits.
7. Can these racks be integrated with workbenches for maintenance work?
Yes. Positioning a workbench or industrial table in front of the rack creates a complete station for cleaning, inspection and repair.
8. What safety features are included?
Typical features include robust rails, mechanical stops and optional locking to prevent accidental drawer movement during loading and unloading.
9. Is the system compatible with 5S and lean manufacturing practices?
Yes. Clear mold locations, labeling and reduced handling support 5S, SMED and other lean tools aimed at reducing waste and improving flow.
10. Can Detay Endüstri support layout and project planning?
Detay Endüstri can help determine the ideal number of levels, drawer sizes and placement within the mold shop, as well as integration with other storage and handling equipment.
