Engineered for industrial resilience and certified to CE, UKCA, & ISO 9001, this intelligent solution provides fully automated, high-density storage and retrieval for long materials. Starting from $42,000 (customized), Herochu transforms your warehouse into a streamlined, high-capacity hub, maximizing productivity and minimizing operational costs.
The Challenge: Managing Long, Bulky Materials Efficiently
Storing and retrieving profiles (I-beams, channels, angles), rods, pipes, tubes, and loaded pallets presents unique challenges:
- Space Inefficiency: Traditional racking consumes vast floor space horizontally.
- Labor Intensity: Manual handling is slow, physically demanding, and hazardous.
- Inventory Confusion: Locating specific items amidst stacks is time-consuming and error-prone.
- Damage Risk: Scratches, dents, and bending during manual movement compromise material integrity and value.
- Poor Utilization: Valuable vertical space often remains underused.
The Herochu Solution: Fully Automated, High-Density Storage
The Herochu Automatic Storage System eliminates these challenges through intelligent automation and robust engineering. This integrated system is designed for centralized, secure, and highly efficient management of diverse long materials, whether stored singly or in bundles.
Core System Components for Uninterrupted Workflow:
- Loading and Unloading Gantry System: The workhorse of automation. This robust overhead system travels precisely along guide rails, equipped with specialized grippers or forks. It performs all automatic storage (inlet) and automatic retrieval (outlet) operations with speed and precision.
- High-Capacity Profile Material Racks: The backbone of storage. Constructed for extreme high load-bearing capacity, these racks are sturdy and durable. Their design allows for the secure storage of single or bundled profiles of different types, sizes, and weights.
- Material Frames & Grids: Individual storage locations within the racks. The standard Size of each grid (600*500mm) provides versatile holding, adaptable for various material cross-sections or pallet bases. Grid configuration ensures organized separation and protection.
- Precision Guide Rails: Provide the defined pathway for the smooth and accurate movement of the gantry system across the entire storage length.
- Advanced Control System (PLC): The intelligent brain coordinating all movements. Operators manage the system via an intuitive interface (HMI), inputting retrieval requests or storage instructions. The system tracks inventory location, status, and movement in real-time.
Engineered for Performance, Reliability & Heavy Loads
Herochu systems are built to withstand demanding industrial environments:
- Exceptional Load Capacity: Handle substantial weights with a Load per layer of 3 Tons (6,000 lbs). The main structure is engineered for maximum sturdiness and durability.
- Robust Movement & Drive: Linear guide rail + chain mode of movement ensures smooth, stable, and precise positioning. Chain drive transmission mode delivers reliable power for consistent heavy-load operation.
- Optimized Speeds: Achieve rapid vertical access with a vertical lifting speed of 9m/min. Experience efficient material flow with an inlet and outlet speed of 12m/min.
- Long Material Handling: Designed for materials up to 6000mm in length as standard, accommodating common industrial stock lengths.
Complete Customization for Your Unique Operation
Herochu understands that every facility has distinct requirements. Our systems are inherently flexible:
- Scalable Storage Capacity: The Number of floors within the racking system and the total Number of storage units are fully Customizable. Scale the system to match your current inventory volume and future growth projections.
- Grid & Rack Adaptation: While standard grids are provided, configurations can be optimized for specific material types (e.g., pipe cradles, specialized pallet supports).
- Material Diversity: Efficiently store a mix of profiles (steel, aluminum), solid rods, pipes (round, square), tubes, and even palletized goods within the same automated system.
- Workshop Integration: Tailored to fit your existing workshop layout, ceiling height, and workflow patterns.
Certified Safety & Quality: Operate with Confidence
Invest in automation with peace of mind. Every Herochu Automatic Storage System for Profiles, Rods, Pipes & Pallets meets the highest international standards, carrying CE, UKCA, and ISO 9001 certification.
