Reclaim up to 50 % of your floor space, cut retrieval time in half, and eliminate damage to expensive bar stock with Herochu’s fully customizable steel metal bar racks—available in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Starting at just US $2,999, every unit is CE-, UE- and ISO 9001-certified and engineered for the rigorous demands of metalworking, window fabrication, and construction supply houses.
Who needs these racks?
• Service centers storing 6–12 m stainless-steel rods, aluminum profiles, PVC conduit or roof gutters
• Machine shops that feed laser cutters, saws and robotic welding cells
• Warehouse operators challenged by narrow aisles, low ceilings or mixed long-goods SKU counts

Vertical vs. horizontal—choose the right geometry
- Vertical racks position bars tip-down, maximizing overhead height and keeping fork-truck aisles clear. Ideal for bundles of pipe or extrusions that must be accessed one at a time.
- Horizontal racks present bars at waist height, eliminating bending and allowing direct feeding onto bar feeders or saws. Optional roller beds and side-loading arms are available for both variants.
Automation ready, labor-smart
Each rack can be delivered with an integrated barcode or RFID carrier, enabling connection to your ERP or MES. Operators scan the job number; the correct bay glides forward automatically, positioning the material at the optimal ergonomic height—reducing search time by 75 % and back injuries by 60 % (customer-verified metrics, 2024).
Protect residual stock, cut waste
Left-over drops as short as 300 mm are segregated in color-coded sub-bays, preventing mix-ups and ensuring you use every last inch of high-value alloy. A built-in tilt sensor warns if bars are stacked beyond the rated height, eliminating costly deformation.
Built for harsh environments
• Frames: Q355B structural steel, shot-blast SA 2.5, epoxy-powder 80–120 µm
• Arms: 5 mm reinforced gussets, 150 mm spacing increments
• Finish: Standard RAL 5017 traffic blue, optional hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor yards
Certifications & global support
Herochu is audited under ISO 9001:2015 and complies with EN 13199 and FEM 10.2.02. Our multilingual service teams have commissioned racks in 38 countries, including same-day remote diagnostics via secure VPN.
Typical ROI timeline
A German steel distributor replaced floor-stacked bundles with 6 HC-G9055D units. The freed floor space now accommodates an additional laser cell, adding US $18 000 monthly revenue. Payback: 8.6 months.
