Sheet Metal Storage Guide: Organizing 60×120 Steel Sheets

Sheet metal in the 60×120 inch (1525x3050mm) size is commonly used across industries like fabrication, HVAC, automotive, and construction. Its large format is ideal for cutting efficiency — but when it comes to storage, this size can be difficult to handle without the right system.

  • Protects Material – Prevents warping, scratches, and corrosion

  • Improves Space Use – Saves valuable floor space in your facility
