In the era of intelligent manufacturing, industrial warehouses are developing in the direction of automation, intelligence, and flexibility. For enterprises with large-scale storage needs, such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, heavy machinery, and large-scale logistics, the traditional manual or semi-automatic storage methods can no longer meet the requirements of high efficiency, high precision, and low error rate. They need a storage system that can realize automatic loading and unloading, heavy-duty storage, telescopic flexibility, and integration with the overall automated warehouse system (AS/RS). In response to this demand, our Automatic Loading Unloading Cantilever Rack | Heavy Duty Telescopic Flexible AS/RS for Industrial Warehouse Storage has been developed, which integrates automatic loading and unloading technology, heavy-duty telescopic technology, and AS/RS integration technology, creating a fully automated, flexible, and efficient storage solution for industrial warehouses.
Our Automatic Loading Unloading Cantilever Rack is a core component of the heavy-duty telescopic flexible AS/RS system, which is specially designed for storing large, heavy, and long-piece materials such as large-diameter pipes, thick steel bars, heavy aluminum profiles, mechanical shafts, and aerospace components. Unlike ordinary storage racks that require manual or semi-automatic loading and unloading, our product can realize fully automatic loading and unloading of materials through the matching automatic loading and unloading equipment, such as automatic cranes, robotic arms, and conveyor systems. The heavy-duty telescopic design allows the cantilever arms to be stretched and retracted automatically, which can adapt to different storage positions and material lengths, improving the flexibility of storage. The AS/RS integration capability enables the rack to be seamlessly connected with the warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse control system (WCS), and other automated equipment, realizing the full-process automation of storage, retrieval, transportation, and inventory management. This integrated design not only greatly improves the operation efficiency of the warehouse but also reduces the labor intensity of workers, reduces the error rate of operations, and ensures the safety and stability of storage.
Let’s first elaborate on the automatic loading and unloading function of our product, which is the key to realizing warehouse automation. Our Automatic Loading Unloading Cantilever Rack is equipped with a professional automatic loading and unloading system, which is composed of automatic cranes, robotic arms, position sensors, and control systems. The automatic cranes can move horizontally and vertically along the guide rails, and the robotic arms can accurately grasp, lift, and place materials. The position sensors can accurately detect the position of the materials and the cantilever arms, ensuring that the loading and unloading operations are carried out with high precision. The control system is connected with the WCS and WMS, which can receive the loading and unloading instructions from the upper system, and automatically complete the entire process of material loading and unloading without manual intervention. For example, when the warehouse needs to store a batch of large-diameter steel pipes, the WMS system sends a storage instruction to the WCS system, the WCS system controls the automatic crane and robotic arm to grasp the steel pipes from the conveyor line, then moves to the designated cantilever rack position, the cantilever arms of the rack stretch out automatically to the designated position, the robotic arm places the steel pipes stably on the cantilever arms, the cantilever arms retract automatically, and the system records the storage information in real time. The entire process is fully automatic, with high efficiency and high precision, and the error rate is close to zero. This automatic loading and unloading function can reduce the labor cost by 80% or more, and the loading and unloading efficiency can be increased by 3-5 times compared with manual operations, which is very suitable for large-scale, high-frequency storage operations.
The heavy-duty load-bearing capacity of our Automatic Loading Unloading Cantilever Rack is designed to meet the storage needs of large, heavy, and long-piece materials. We adopt the highest grade high-strength steel and advanced structural design to ensure that the rack can bear the weight of heavy materials stably. The columns are made of Q355B high-strength steel plates, which are processed by precision cutting, bending, and welding, and the section structure is optimized to improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity. The bases are designed with a large-area reinforced base plate and high-strength anchor bolts, which can firmly fix the rack on the ground, avoiding the rack from tilting, sinking, or shaking due to heavy load. The cantilever arms are made of thick-walled seamless alloy steel pipes, which have high strength, high rigidity, and good wear resistance. The connection between the cantilever arms and the columns adopts a combination of high-strength bolts and full welding, ensuring that the connection is firm and reliable, and can effectively transmit the load. The load-bearing capacity of each cantilever arm can reach 5-15 tons, and the total load-bearing capacity of each rack can be customized according to the needs of customers, up to 100 tons. This heavy-duty load-bearing capacity is sufficient for storing large, heavy long-piece materials such as large-diameter thick-walled pipes, heavy steel beams, and aerospace components. In addition, all products undergo strict finite element stress analysis using Simsolid, Ansys, and other professional software, and load-bearing tests and fatigue tests are carried out before leaving the factory to ensure that the rack can stably bear the designed load in long-term continuous operation, meeting the strict safety requirements of industrial warehouses.
The heavy-duty telescopic flexible design of our rack improves the adaptability and flexibility of storage. The cantilever arms of the rack can be stretched and retracted automatically through the electric telescopic mechanism, with a telescopic range of 0-1000mm, which can adapt to different material lengths and storage positions. When storing materials of different lengths, the cantilever arms can be stretched to the appropriate length to ensure that the materials are stably placed and avoid slipping. When retrieving materials from the inner layer or when the warehouse needs to adjust the storage layout, the cantilever arms can be retracted automatically, freeing up space for other operations. The telescopic mechanism is composed of high-precision sliding rails, high-strength gears, and servo motors. The servo motors have high precision and stable performance, which can realize the precise control of the telescopic position of the cantilever arms, with a position accuracy of ±1mm. The sliding rails are made of high-quality alloy steel, which is treated with precision grinding and surface hardening, ensuring good wear resistance and smoothness, and the telescopic movement is stable without jamming. In addition, the telescopic mechanism is equipped with a dust-proof, waterproof, and anti-collision device, which can effectively protect the internal components and extend the service life of the mechanism. This telescopic flexible design makes the rack suitable for storing materials of different specifications and lengths, improving the utilization rate of the rack and the flexibility of the warehouse.
The AS/RS integration capability of our product is another key advantage, which realizes the integration of the rack with the overall automated warehouse system. Our Automatic Loading Unloading Cantilever Rack can be seamlessly connected with the WMS, WCS, automatic cranes, conveyor systems, and other automated equipment, forming a complete heavy-duty telescopic flexible AS/RS system. The WMS system is responsible for inventory management, order processing, and task scheduling, which can realize real-time monitoring of the storage status of materials, automatic generation of storage and retrieval tasks, and statistical analysis of inventory data. The WCS system is responsible for the control and coordination of the automated equipment, which can receive the task instructions from the WMS system, and control the automatic loading and unloading equipment, telescopic rack, and conveyor system to complete the task in a coordinated manner. For example, when the enterprise needs to retrieve a certain batch of materials, the WMS system sends a retrieval instruction to the WCS system, the WCS system controls the cantilever rack to stretch the cantilever arms to the designated position, the automatic crane and robotic arm grasp the materials from the cantilever arms, transport them to the conveyor line, and the conveyor line transports the materials to the designated location. The entire process is fully automated, and the WMS system records the retrieval information in real time, ensuring the accuracy of inventory data. This AS/RS integration capability not only improves the operation efficiency of the warehouse but also realizes the intelligent management of the warehouse, which is conducive to enterprises to improve the level of production management and enhance market competitiveness.
