Heavy Duty steel tube racking systems

Reclaim Your Vertical Space: The Herochu Heavy-Duty Roll-Out Cantilever Racking System

In the world of industrial storage, long, cumbersome materials like steel tube, structural pipe, aluminum extrusions, and lumber have always presented a unique challenge. They defy the neat, grid-like organization of pallet racking. For decades, the solution has been the cantilever rack—a workhorse defined by its open arms and unobstructed access. But while traditional cantilevers solved the problem of storing long goods, they often failed to solve the problems of retrieving them. The familiar scene of employees “fishing” for a specific bar from the middle of a stack, wrestling with tangled material, or navigating a forklift through a narrow forest of uprights is not just inefficient; it’s a daily safety compromise.

The Herochu Heavy-Duty Roll-Out Cantilever Racking System is the evolution this industry has been waiting for. We haven’t just built a rack; we’ve re-engineered the very concept of long-material storage. By integrating a fully articulated, heavy-duty drawer system into the proven cantilever framework, we’ve created a solution that doesn’t just store your materials—it organizes, presents, and protects them. Starting at $4,500, this isn’t an expense; it’s a strategic investment in floor space, workforce safety, and operational velocity, all backed by the unwavering assurance of CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certification.

The High Cost of Chaos: Why Traditional Storage Falls Short

The limitations of conventional storage methods for long goods are not merely inconveniences; they are active drains on your profitability and safety protocols.

• The Danger of Digging: The most significant hazard in a traditional cantilever setup is the retrieval process. Employees must lean into the rack, manually lift and shift heavy, often greasy or sharp-edged materials to access the one they need. This leads to musculoskeletal strain, pinched fingers, and the ever-present risk of an entire stack becoming unstable.

• The 50% Space Penalty: To allow for forklift access and manual digging, aisles between traditional cantilever racks must be excessively wide. This conservative layout can consume up to half of your valuable workshop floor space, dedicating it not to production, but to circulation and error-avoidance.

• Material Damage and Inventory Anarchy: Dragging tubes or bars across each other causes scratches, dings, and cosmetic damage that can devalue finished products. Furthermore, without discrete, organized compartments, inventory control becomes a guessing game. What you own and where it’s located is often a mystery, leading to project delays, duplicate orders, and wasted capital tied up in unseen stock.

The Herochu Solution: A Drawer for Every Bar, A Place for Every Pipe

Imagine, instead, a storage system where every single length of material is individually craddled and instantly accessible. The Herochu Roll-Out Cantilever Rack makes this vision a reality through its groundbreaking drawer-based design.

The Roll-Out Drawer System: Total Access, Zero Compromise

The core of our system is the fully extending, heavy-gauge steel drawer. This is not a lightweight shelf on slides; it is an industrial-grade platform engineered for immense loads.

• Full Extension, Full Visibility: Each drawer opens completely, sliding smoothly on high-capacity roller bearings to present its entire contents. No more blind groping. Operators can see and select the exact tube, bar, or pipe they need in seconds, without touching any other material. This single feature alone can reduce retrieval times by over 70%.

• Hoist-Ready Design: The open access provided by the extended drawer creates a perfect, safe working zone for material handling equipment. An overhead hoist or crane can now position its hook or magnet directly over the center of the load, ensuring a balanced and secure lift. This transforms a two-person, high-risk maneuvering task into a simple, one-person precision operation.

• Unmatched Adjustability: Flexibility is paramount. The Herochu system’s drawer heights are adjustable at a granular 3-inch (approx. 75mm) increment along the robust upright columns. This allows you to create a perfectly customized storage matrix for your entire inventory, from slender brass rods to massive structural steel tubes. Whether you need to accommodate a new project’s materials or reorganize for efficiency, the system evolves with you, without requiring any specialized tools or technical expertise.

Uncompromised Strength Meets Certified Safety

While the drawer mechanism is the star, the underlying structure is the unsung hero. Constructed from high-tensile steel and featuring a double-sided cantilever design, the Herochu rack is built to withstand the most demanding industrial environments. The cantilever arms provide unobstructed lateral access, while the integrated drawer system adds a layer of organization and safety that traditional designs lack.

Our CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications are your guarantee of this quality. This triad represents more than compliance; it signifies a product born from a culture of excellence. The ISO 9001 certification ensures every weld, every component, and every finished rack meets a rigorously controlled standard of manufacturing. The CE and UE marks attest to its design integrity and safety for the European market, giving you confidence in its structural reliability under full load.

Configuring Your Custom Storage Solution

The Herochu system is offered in both standard and fully customized configurations to meet your precise needs. The standard models provide a powerful starting point for most applications:

• Model HC-G6053RE: Ideal for standard-length materials (6000mm), with a robust total loading capacity of 3 tons per drawer and 25 tons per rack, perfect for high-variety, lower-weight inventory.

• Model HC-G9055S: Designed for extra-long materials (9000mm), this model features a stronger 5-ton per layer capacity and a wider arm length (800mm) to securely handle large-diameter pipe and structural beams.

• Model HC-G6054D: Our high-capacity champion for 6000mm materials, capable of handling a staggering 6 tons per layer and a total system load of 48 tons, built for dense, heavy-walled tubing and solid bar stock.

Each standard model features a PLC with frequency conversion control for exceptionally smooth and controlled drawer operation, even under maximum load, preventing jarring starts and stops that could destabilize materials.

When Our Standard Models Aren’t Enough, We Build Your Vision

Perhaps your tube lengths are non-standard, your weight requirements are exceptional, or your floor plan is uniquely constrained. This is where Herochu’s customization expertise shines. We can engineer a system to your exact specifications, whether you need a single-sided configuration to fit against a wall, a unique color to match your facility’s branding, or a completely unique load capacity and dimension. Our customized solutions, like the HC-B4020-65, are proof that we see your unique challenge not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to deliver the perfect storage solution.

The Tangible Return on Investment: More Than Just a Rack

Integrating the Herochu Roll-Out Cantilever Rack into your workspace is a decision that pays for itself through multiple channels of return.

1. Liberate Up to 50% of Your Floor Space: By eliminating the need for wide “digging” aisles and consolidating chaotic piles into a vertical, dense storage footprint, you effectively double your usable production area. This reclaimed space can be used for additional machinery, assembly lines, or a safer, more organized workflow.

2. Dramatically Enhance Workplace Safety: The elimination of “digging through dangerous piles” is the single greatest safety improvement. By removing this high-risk activity, you significantly reduce the potential for crushing injuries, muscle strains, and dropped material incidents. A safer workshop also means lower insurance premiums and a more confident, productive workforce.

3. Achieve Unprecedented Inventory Control: With the use of optional drawer dividers, you can create dedicated slots for specific material types, sizes, or projects. This transforms your storage area from a chaotic junkyard into a library of materials. Inventory counts become fast and accurate, project sourcing is immediate, and material waste due to loss or misidentification is virtually eliminated.

4. Accelerate Workflow and Throughput: Time is the ultimate currency in manufacturing. When your employees can locate and retrieve any material in under a minute instead of ten, that compounded time savings translates into more jobs completed per day, faster turnaround times for clients, and a significant boost to your bottom-line profitability.
