Cantilever racking for pipe storage

Reclaim Your Space, Revolutionize Your Workflow: The Herochu Roll-Out Cantilever Racking System

For fabricators, construction suppliers, metalworks, and any enterprise dealing with long, heavy, and often cumbersome materials, storage is more than a logistical challenge—it’s a daily battle. Piles of steel pipes, aluminum profiles, and iron bars don’t just consume precious square footage; they create operational bottlenecks, pose significant safety risks, and silently bleed your business of efficiency and profit. The traditional solution—static cantilever racks or, worse, haphazard stacking on the floor—is a compromise that the modern workshop should no longer have to accept.

Herochu introduces a paradigm shift in industrial storage. Our Roll-Out Cantilever Racking System is not merely a shelf; it is a dynamic, high-density storage ecosystem engineered to transform your most challenging storage problems into a competitive advantage. We’ve moved beyond static arms to a fully integrated pull-out drawer system, designed specifically for the secure, accessible, and space-optimized storage of long, heavy materials.

The Inefficiency of Conventional Storage: A Costly Compromise

Before we delve into the solution, let’s acknowledge the problem. Standard storage methods for pipes and bars are fraught with inefficiency:

• The Floor Stack Hazard: Materials piled on the floor are vulnerable to damage, bending, and corrosion. They create a tripping and impalement hazard, forcing workers to navigate a dangerous obstacle course. Retrieving a specific item from the bottom of a pile is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and risky endeavor.

• The Static Rack Limitation: While an improvement over floor storage, traditional cantilever racks still require significant aisle space for forklifts to maneuver materials in and out. Workers often still need to “fish” for items, and the full depth of the rack is rarely utilized effectively, leading to wasted vertical and horizontal space.

The Herochu Roll-Out system is our direct answer to these decades-old challenges.

The Herochu Difference: A Deep Dive into Engineered Excellence

At its core, our system replaces static arms with heavy-duty, roll-out drawers. But the magic is in the meticulous engineering that makes this simple concept so powerfully effective.

1. The Roll-Out Drawer Mechanism: Unparalleled Access and Control
Imagine being able to access every single pipe or bar in your inventory without moving another. Our motorized or manual sliding drawer system brings the entire contents of the rack to you. With a smooth, full-extension glide, you can inspect, select, and retrieve any material with pinpoint accuracy. This eliminates the dangerous and frustrating “digging” process, turning a 10-minute search into a 10-second retrieval. The drawers are engineered with a robust locking mechanism, ensuring they remain securely in place, whether fully extended or closed, under immense loads.

2. Unmatched Customization, Starting at $5,199
Your storage needs are unique, and your solution should be too. The Herochu system is fundamentally modular. We begin with a conversation about your specific materials, workflow, and facility layout. Our standard models, like the HC-G6053S for 6-meter pipes or the high-capacity HC-G9055D for 9-meter loads, provide a robust starting point. However, our true expertise lies in customization.

• Dimensions: We can engineer systems to accommodate materials from 3 meters to over 12 meters in length.

• Load Capacity: Whether you’re storing lightweight aluminum profiles or dense steel bars, our racks are built to handle it. Load capacities range from 2 tons per layer to a staggering 6 tons, with total system loadings exceeding 40 tons.

• Configuration: Choose from single-sided (S) or space-saving double-sided (D) models, and customize the number of layers to perfectly utilize your vertical clearance.

Starting at $5,199, we build a system that fits your budget and your workshop, not the other way around.

3. A Fortress of Safety and Structural Integrity
When storing several tons of metal overhead, there is no room for error. Every Herochu Roll-Out Cantilever Rack is a testament to uncompromising safety.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: We use high-tensile steel and reinforced connecting shafts to create a structure that doesn’t just hold weight, but masters it.

• CE, UE, and ISO 9001 Certified: Our commitment to international quality and safety standards is certified. This isn’t just a stamp; it’s our promise of reliability and compliance.

• Integrated Pull-Out Design: Unlike add-on solutions, our roll-out mechanism is an integral part of the rack’s structure. This ensures stability and load distribution are maintained throughout the system’s operation.

• Adjustable Divider Pins and Support Trays: Maintain perfect organization within each drawer. Divider pins prevent materials from shifting and colliding during movement, while support trays can be added to create dedicated spaces for shorter off-cuts or tools, keeping everything secure and orderly.

Quantifiable Benefits: Transforming Your Bottom Line

Investing in a Herochu system is an investment in operational excellence. The returns are tangible and significant.

• Increase Utilizable Floor Space by Up to 50%: By eliminating the need for wide aisles for forklift access, our compact sliding design dramatically condenses your storage footprint. In land-scarce environments, this reclaimed space is directly converted into productive work area or allows for higher-density storage within the same footprint.

• Accelerate Loading/Unloading by 30%: The slide-out mechanism brings all stored items into the aisleway. Forklift operators can place and retrieve materials in a single, fluid motion, slashing handling time and reducing operator fatigue.

• Eliminate Worker Safety Hazards: The era of employees climbing over unstable piles is over. Our system creates a predictable, organized, and safe storage environment, drastically reducing the risk of workplace accidents, material-related injuries, and associated liabilities.

• Maximize Material Integrity and Inventory Control: With every item individually accessible and visibly accounted for, you prevent damage from scraping, bending, or improper handling. This organization also simplifies inventory counts, ensuring you always know what you have and where it is.

Beyond Pipes: Versatile Applications for Demanding Industries

While perfect for pipe storage, the Herochu system’s versatility extends to any long, bulky material:

• Construction: Rebar, structural steel, lumber, and trusses.

• Metal Fabrication: Solid bar stock, tubing, sheet metal, and extrusions.

• Plastics and Composites: PVC pipes, fiberglass rods, and plastic profiles.

• Specialized Manufacturing: Storing materials for furniture, automotive, and aerospace components.

Our solution for automatic storage of aluminum profiles up to 8-9 meters is a prime example of how we tailor our technology for specific, high-value applications, ensuring delicate materials are handled with the care they require.
