Cantilever roll out racking

Herochu Cantilever Roll-Out Racking
Turn lengthy, awkward stock into fast-pick inventory—custom-built from $3,698, fully CE, EU and ISO 9001 certified.

Specification

Long loads never fit neatly into pallet bays. Steel bar, timber packs, plastic pipe, aluminium extrusions and composite mouldings fight back every time a fork truck tries to thread between uprights. Herochu’s telescopic cantilever roll-out racking removes the fight. Each arm extends like a drawer, bringing the material to the operator instead of forcing the operator to chase the material. No front column means no contortions, no dented edges, no scratched surfaces and no wasted aisle width. Whether you store 6 m hardwood planks outside under a canopy or 12 m stainless tubes beside a laser cutter, the system converts vertical air into dense, instantly accessible inventory.

Why cantilever roll-out?
Traditional static cantilever racks still demand a 4 m–5 m corridor so a fork truck can angle in, lift, reverse and clear. Herochu arms glide out 600 mm–1 000 mm on sealed bearings, letting an overhead crane, vacuum lifter or two shop-floor staff pick straight from the rack face. The corridor collapses to the depth of one extended arm—under 1.2 m—so you reclaim up to 60 % of floor area for value-adding machinery. Meanwhile each arm locks positively in or out, eliminating the side-sway that scuffs material and endangers staff.

Built for the real weight of timber, tube and bar
Each column is laser-cut from 6 mm hot-rolled structural steel, minimum yield 50 000 psi, and welded to a 10 mm base plate that spreads load across two anchor bolts rated 8.8 M20. Arms are fabricated from 5 mm wrap-around channel with a 200 mm connector plate gusset. The result: a single side can handle 2 000 kg per level and freestanding towers can climb to 9 m without rear bracing interfering with roof beams. Arms adjust vertically in 100 mm increments, so tomorrow’s 400 mm deep plywood pack can replace today’s 200 mm plastic conduit bundle in minutes, not hours.

Indoor or outdoor—same ten-year warranty
After shot-blasting to Sa 2.5, steel receives a two-coat marine epoxy primer followed by 80 µm polyester powder in your choice of RAL colour. The finish passes 1 000 h neutral-salt-spray, making it suitable for coastal humidity or the daily wash-down demanded by saw-mill operations. Optional hot-dip galvanising adds 70 µm zinc armour for outside storage yards where UV, rain and forklift tyres are part of the climate.

Extend, relocate, re-arm—no disposal cost
Start with a single-sided starter bay 3 m high × 1 m arm. Add double-sided add-on bays as turnover grows. Need longer arms? Swap 800 mm for 1 200 mm bolt-on sections while the rack remains loaded. Move premises? Unbolt columns from base plates, palletise and reinstall—zero welding, zero waste. The modular design follows you for decades, eliminating the scrap-and-replace cycle that erodes capital budgets.

Safety engineered, not retro-fitted
A tapered wedge pin locks each arm to the column; the pin cannot drift outward even under cyclic shock load. A 100 mm lip at the arm nose stops bar stock from rolling, while optional rubber face strips protect polished architectural aluminium. Columns are pre-drilled for mesh or timber decking, converting cantilever levels into solid shelves for boxed goods or outdoor pallets. Base plates include pre-marked anchor templates so installers hit exact centre-lines first time—no field measuring, no mis-aligned towers.

Density by numbers
Take a 12 m long pack of 150 × 150 × 8 mm steel angle—weight 2.1 t. Traditional block stacking needs 15 m² and allows only bottom-gets-first turnover. One double-sided Herochu bay 3 m high × 1 m arms on both sides stores nine packs in 4.5 m²—delivering 3.3× material density and 100 % selectivity. Multiply by your rent per square metre and the rack self-finances in months, not years.

Worked ROI—Danish steel service centre
Problem: 2 400 t of merchant bar in 6 m–12 m lengths, stored outside on timber dunnage. Handling damage 1.8 %, annual scrap cost €46 000.
Solution: 28 bays telescopic cantilever roll-out, 1 200 mm arms, galvanised finish.
Footprint: 210 m² versus former 520 m².
Damage: 0.2 % edge dent only.
Labour: Two forklift drivers redeployed to laser cutting cell.
Payback: 13 months including reduced rental, scrap and labour.

Plug-and-play with existing workflows
Saw lines: Position the rack so extended arms align with in-feed rollers; one crane movement transfers bar to saw bed.
Tube mills: Store mother coil on the top level, finished pipe on lower levels; arms roll out to match mill run-out table height.
Furniture factories: Keep 2.8 m MDF boards on decked arms beside CNC router; no clamp truck required.
Overnight security: Lock arms closed with a single padlock bar, eliminating loose stock temptation.

Certified, traceable, insured
We certify every weld to EN ISO 3834-2, dimensionally check towers to ±2 mm, and supply mill certificates for all raw steel. The finished structure is CE-marked under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and carries EU-type examination for 2 000 kg per arm. A $5 million global product liability policy underwritten by PICC guarantees structural integrity for ten years under normal workshop conditions.

Smart options that future-proof your investment

• Motorised arm: 0.55 kW linear actuator with pendant control reduces extension force to 5 kg—ideal for delicate composites.
• Load cell column: Each arm becomes a live scale; gross/net weights feed to your ERP via OPC-UA.
• LED traffic light: 24 V stack-light shows green when arm is locked out, red when unlocked—visual management for night shift.
• Rear cladding: 1.5 mm corrugated steel sheets bolt between columns, creating a weather-proof cage for outdoor yards.
• RFID magazine: Laser-etched polymer tags rivet to arm noses; scan with a tablet to update inventory in real time.
