Industrial Vertical Storage Racking Systems

Herochu Industrial Vertical Storage Racking Systems: Custom Warehouse Racking for Every Space, Certified CE/UE/ISO 9001

When long bar stock, angle iron, tubing, rollers or mandrels are left on the floor, valuable square metres disappear and picking times explode. Herochu’s Industrial Vertical Storage Racking Systems solve both problems with a heavy-duty, roll-out drawer design that lifts every metre of material into the air and presents it at crane height in seconds. Fully customizable to any workshop layout and certified CE, UE and ISO 9001, these warehouse racking units turn chaotic stock yards into precision logistics centres.

1. Why Roll-Out Drawer Cantilever Racking?
   Traditional cantilever racks require wide forklift aisles and partial unloading to reach inner bars. Herochu’s roll-out drawers pull out like vertical drawers, allowing overhead cranes to lift the exact piece without aisle intrusion. The result is up to 60 % more storage density and 70 % faster retrieval compared with floor stacking or static cantilever designs.
2. Space-Saving Engineering
   Each drawer rides on sealed bearings rated for 5 000 kg dynamic load and extends fully so that even a 12 m tube can be picked from the middle of a rack row. The closed back frame eliminates side sway, enabling bay spacing as tight as 1 000 mm. For ceiling heights under 5 m, drawers can be stacked six working levels plus a top static shelf, giving 42 t of capacity in a 3 m × 12 m footprint.
3. Workflow Integration

• Crane-friendly: fork pockets and lifting lugs are built into every frame for single-point rigging.
• Category storage: colour-coded end-stops and magnetic label strips let operators segregate by alloy, OD or job number.
• Left-over trays: integrated drip pans catch off-cuts and keep the floor free of metal chips.

A North-American structural-steel fabricator replaced 1 800 m² of floor storage with eight double-sided Herochu towers and freed 1 200 m² for additional welding bays—space that now generates US $1.2 M of annual revenue.

5. Customization Workflow
   Herochu treats every warehouse racking project as a custom build:

Step 1 – Site survey: Our engineers use LiDAR scanning to capture exact column grids, crane hook paths and slab load ratings.
Step 2 – 3-D modelling: Within 48 hours a Revit model shows aisle widths, seismic anchors and sprinkler clearances.
Step 3 – Quote: A fixed-price quotation lists steel grade, surface finish, motor option and freight to your nearest port.
Step 4 – FAT & logistics: Every rack is pre-assembled and load-tested in our Chinese factory, then flat-packed into a 40 ft container for damage-free transport.
Step 5 – Supervised install: Two Herochu technicians fly in to supervise local riggers; full commissioning is usually completed in two shifts.

6. Compliance & Durability
   Steel components use Q345B structural grade, shot-blasted SA 2.5 and polyester powder coat ≥ 80 µm for C4 corrosion class. Design follows FEM 10.2.08, ANSI/MH16.1 and AS 4084, ensuring the system meets or exceeds seismic and wind codes in North America, Europe and Australia. All welds are ultrasonic-tested; each rack ships with mill certificates and a CE Declaration of Conformity.
7. Electrically Driven Option
   For high-throughput environments, Herochu offers a 24 V motorized roll-out drawer driven by a maintenance-free planetary gearbox and encoder feedback. The operator simply presses “extend” on a pendant or scans a barcode; the drawer glides out at 0.2 m/s, stops automatically at full extension and reverses under light curtain protection. Power consumption is < 0.3 kWh per 100 cycles—less than an LED bay light.
8. ROI at a Glance

• Labour: eliminate manual sorting and forklift shuttling—saving 1.5 FTE per shift.
• Space: reclaim up to 60 % floor area for value-adding processes.
• Inventory: reduce stock-outs and double ordering with FIFO/ LIFO tracking via barcode labels.
  Typical payback: 14–22 months for facilities handling > 30 t of long goods per month.
