Mold Shelf with 65% Opening Drawer systems from Detay Endüstri provide safe, compact and highly efficient storage for heavy molds, dies and tooling. Unlike standard shelving, this semi-extension design allows the drawer to slide out to 65% of its depth, giving operators clear access to the mold while keeping the unit’s center of gravity stable and secure. As a result, this solution is ideal for facilities that need a versatile mold rack with high load capacity but limited aisle space.
Each 65% opening shelf functions as a robust drawer mold rack, engineered for smooth movement under load and long service life. The system can be configured as a modular drawer rack system with multiple levels, making it easy to organize molds by size, project or machine. When used as an injection rack near injection molding machines, it significantly reduces handling time and supports a clean, traceable workflow in the mold shop.
To create efficient preparation and maintenance zones, these racks can be combined with a heavy-duty industrial table or ergonomic workbench positioned directly in front of the shelves. Technicians can slide the drawer out by 65%, safely work on the mold at a comfortable height, and then return it to storage without unnecessary lifting or transport. This integrated approach improves occupational safety, reduces damage risk and supports 5S and lean manufacturing principles.
Detay Endüstri’s expertise in storage also extends to mobile and vehicle-based operations. For companies running field service or mobile maintenance, the same organizational logic applied in the mold area can be transferred into a roadside assistance vehicle. Solutions such as an in-vehicle equipment rack, modular in-vehicle cabinet system, dedicated in-vehicle material cabinet and secure in-vehicle tool cabinet ensure that every in-vehicle cabinet, in-vehicle rack and complete in-vehicle rack system works as part of coherent rack systems and professional in-vehicle equipment planning.
By choosing Mold Shelf with 65% Opening Drawer systems, manufacturers gain a compact, safe and scalable solution that protects valuable molds, speeds up changeovers and creates order in every corner of the production environment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mold Shelf with 65% Opening Drawer
1. What is a Mold Shelf with 65% Opening Drawer?
It is a heavy-duty shelving system with pull-out drawers that extend to 65% of their depth, specifically designed to store and handle molds, dies and similar heavy tools.
2. Why 65% opening instead of full extension?
A 65% opening provides sufficient access to the mold while keeping the center of gravity closer to the rack, improving stability in narrow aisles and reducing tipping risk.
3. How does this system differ from a standard mold rack?
Compared to a fixed mold rack, the 65% opening design allows molds to slide out safely, reducing the need for forklifts and manual lifting.
4. What kind of loads can each drawer carry?
Load capacity depends on the specific model, but the system is engineered for heavy industrial molds and must always be used within the manufacturer’s declared limits.
5. Can I build a multi-level drawer rack system?
Yes, multiple drawers can be combined vertically to create a customized drawer rack system tailored to your mold sizes and quantities.
6. Is it suitable as an injection rack near machines?
Definitely. Many plants use it as an injection rack to keep molds close to injection molding machines and speed up changeovers.
7. Can these shelves be integrated with workbenches?
Yes, placing a workbench or industrial table in front of the rack creates a complete preparation and maintenance station.
8. Are there safety features for operation?
Systems typically include stops, robust rails and optional locking to prevent accidental drawer movement during loading and unloading.
9. Is this solution suitable for 5S and lean projects?
Yes, the structured layout, labeling options and reduced handling support 5S, SMED and other lean manufacturing initiatives.
10. Can Detay Endüstri assist with layout design?
Detay Endüstri can help define the number of levels, drawer dimensions and positioning within the mold shop to optimize safety and workflow.
