Herochu Crank-Out Cantilever Racking for Sale – Turn Long-Stock Chaos into One-Handed Control
From US $3,660 | CE-UE-ISO 9001 | 3–5 t per arm | 6–12 m spans | 100 % crank-out extension | Single or double-sided | Custom colours overnight
If your pipe, bar, tube or aluminium extrusions are still living on timber blocks, you already pay a hidden “floor tax” every day: lost aisle space, bruised shins, double handling and the endless scavenger hunt for the one length that disappeared under a 5-ton bundle. Herochu’s crank-out cantilever racking ends the game. One pull of the handle extends an entire shelf into the crane aisle—no fork truck, no gymnastics, no second operator. Slide the sling on, lift, crank back, done. Stock check becomes a five-minute coffee-break job instead of a Saturday overtime shift.
What “crank-out” actually means
Each arm is welded to a 30 mm induction-hardened pinion that rides on sealed bearings inside the upright. A 350 mm diameter hand-wheel (or 0.75 kW gear-motor) turns a captive chain; the arm rolls out 100 %, stops dead at full extension and locks automatically. Reverse the wheel and the arm retracts with the same two-finger effort—even when it carries 5 tonne of 12 m steel beam. Because the load moves horizontally first, the crane operator never has to “hunt” depth; the hook descends straight onto a defined target, cutting cycle time by 42 % in real Perth trials.

Need 7.5 m arms to match your plasma bed? Want eight levels because the roof is 8.5 m high? Send a WhatsApp sketch; we’ll recut the uprights, reset the chain pitch and still lock the price at today’s quote. Manual hand-wheel comes as standard; plug-and-play SEW motor kit bolts on later if you upgrade to night-shift automation.
Dividers that move when the job changes
- Pin-specific dividers: drop into laser-cut holes at 150 mm centres, no welding, no bolts. Tell us the SKU widths once; we pre-punch the pattern.
- Adjustable Unistrut dividers: slide anywhere along the arm, lock with two square nuts. Add or remove in seconds when the next PO calls for mixed lengths.
- Individual clamp-on dividers: grip the arm with two M12 zinc-flake bolts. Perfect for short remnants that refuse to stand upright.
All dividers are reversible so you can flip the high side for 300 mm busbar or lay it low for 50 mm flat bar—one rack, every product family.
UHMW-lined arms—kiss the scratches goodbye
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene caps snap onto the arm top. Hard enough to take the edge of a 10 mm plate, soft enough to keep polished architectural aluminium mirror-smooth. When the liners finally scar, pop them off and click new ones on—no tools, no paint touch-up, no customer complaint about scratched stock.
Intermediate support—roll it away when you don’t need it
The new drop-in saddle sits on a tapered spigot. Pull the spring pin, lift the saddle out, and the crane can lower a 20-foot bundle straight through to the ground for sawing. Replace the saddle and you’re back to divided storage. No threaded knobs, no lost hardware.
Safety extras that cost less than one lost-time injury
- Automatic brake: the hand-wheel locks the instant you let go; no creep, no runaway.
- Crank-force limiter: 25 Nm max— even the apprentice can’t over-extend and tip the rack.
- Aisle-side laser sensor (optional): if a person breaks the beam while an arm is extended, the motor freezes and the amber beacon screams.
- Load plaque: laser-etched stainless, lists SWL, arm spacing and maintenance QR code—inspect, scan, upload, done.
Real numbers from real yards
- Brisbane structural fabricator: replaced ground stacking with 5 × HC-G12055D, freed 1,850 m², rented it to a neighbour for AUD 185 k/year.
- Adelaide irrigation reseller: 9 m single-sided racks, 6 levels, 320 SKUs of poly pipe picked by crane, cut order prep time from 45 min to 8 min.
- Townsville mine workshop: cyclone-rated footplates passed Region C wind load, racks stood through Cat-4 cyclone with zero deflection.
Delivery & duty-smashed pricing
Racks leave our Qingdao plant every Friday, land in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Fremantle 18 days later. We pre-pay import duty and GST, so the price we quote is the price you pay—no surprise bills from customs. Flat-pack means 22 tonne fits in one 40 HC, cutting freight per kg by 38 %. Need it yesterday? Air-freight arms and uprights in 7 days; bolts and braces sea-freight later, you erect the spine immediately.
Warranty that outlasts your accountant’s depreciation schedule
10 years on structural welds, 5 years on bearings and electric drives. If an arm bends under rated load, we airmail a replacement and pay the fitter’s invoice. No “pro-rata”, no “fair wear and tear” weasel words—our lawyer is bored because no one ever calls.
Next step: send a sketch, get a 3-D fly-through
Email a phone photo of the current pile, tell us the heaviest bundle and crane hook height. Within 24 h we return a 3-D layout, retrieval-time simulation and a locked price in AUD including freight and duty. Accept it, pay 30 % deposit, and your crank-out cantilever racking leaves the factory the same week. Floor space is cheaper at $3,660 than at Sydney land prices—claim yours before the next rate rise.
