Herochu Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racks for Industrial Pipe Storage
Transform the way you handle long, bulky materials with a storage system engineered for workshops that refuse to compromise on speed, safety or square footage. The Herochu telescopic cantilever series turns congested aisles into orderly, high-density channels where every pipe, tube or bar is visible, reachable and ready for immediate dispatch. Prices start at USD 3,698 and every unit is shipped CE, EU and ISO 9001 compliant, so the certificate package travels with the rack—no hidden add-ons, no last-minute surprises.
Why random stacking costs more than you think
When pipes lie flat on the floor or are wedged between static frames, three invisible costs accrue: lost floor space, lost labour hours and lost material. Each search-and-retrieve cycle burns an average of twelve operator minutes; scratches, dents and end-thread damage add rework bills; and the unused vertical cube forces you to lease or build additional square metres. Herochu’s telescopic arms eliminate these drains by lifting the load clear of the floor and presenting it to an overhead crane or forklift without manual dragging.
Core models, ready to ship or ready to re-engineer
Four pre-configured frames cover the majority of industrial pipe diameters and warehouse heights. All dimensions are nominal; every measurement can be lengthened, shortened or strengthened on request.
HC-G6053D – 6 m arm, 3 t per level, four storage levels plus one bilateral assist deck, overall footprint 6 435 × 3 340 × 1 750 mm.
HC-G9055S – 9 m arm, 5 t per level, four levels plus one unilateral assist deck, 9 435 × 3 340 × 1 550 mm.
HC-G9055D – 9 m arm, 5 t per level, bilateral assist, 9 435 × 3 340 × 1 750 mm.
HC-G12055D – 12 m arm, 5 t per level, bilateral assist, 12 435 × 3 340 × 1 750 mm.
Need 15 m arms? 8 t capacity? A seventh storage tier? Specify it in the enquiry and the factory will return a certified drawing within 48 hours.
The telescopic advantage in one motion
A single operator rotates the low-inertia crank (manual) or presses the pendant button (electric). The cantilever arm glides out 500–1 000 mm, exposing the full cross-section of the bundle to the hook of an overhead crane. Loading or unloading takes less than sixty seconds; the arm retracts, the aisle clears, and the next pick list item is accessible immediately. No fork truck zig-zagging, no manual prying, no auxiliary personnel.
Built for the weight and the weather
Steel grade: Q355B structural carbon with 0.2 % Cu for atmospheric corrosion resistance.
Welding: single-pass penetration plus dual-pass fillet, inspected to EN ISO 3834-2.
Finish: nano-ceramic pre-treatment, 80 µm epoxy-polyester powder coat, colour RAL 5017 traffic blue standard, optional RAL 3000 red or RAL 7035 light grey.
Safety factor: 1.65 under rated load, verified by third-party FEA and physical 1.5 × overload test.
Bearings: sealed, grease-filled, maintenance interval 5 000 cycles or twelve months.
Composite upright design
Instead of a single solid post, Herochu uses a twin-box composite upright that delivers 34 % higher moment resistance at 18 % lower dead weight. The result is a taller, more stable rack that still arrives in knock-down form for containerised shipment and passes through a standard 2 200 mm personnel door before assembly.
Modular, not welded
Bolted arm-to-upright connections let you re-tier the bay in under thirty minutes. As your inventory mix evolves from 150 mm OD casing to 20 mm conduit, add arms, move arms or swap arms without hot work or certified welders. All hardware is grade 10.9 zinc-flake coated for 1 000 h salt-spray durability.
Accessories that turn a rack into a system
Bolt-on mesh decks to catch loose couplings.
Dividers every 300 mm to segregate mixed schedules.
Retractable nylon straps for seismic zones.
Rubber face caps to protect polished stainless tubing.
Laser-reflective proximity sensors that interlock with crane travel for automated warehouses.
Installation without production shutdown
The base plate design requires only M16 chemical anchors; no poured foundation pits or hold-down trenches. A two-bay, five-level system can be assembled and anchored by two technicians in four hours using nothing more than a torque wrench and a 3 m step ladder. If you lease the building, the anchors leave a 16 mm hole that is easily grouted when the rack is relocated.
Certifications delivered, not promised
Each shipment includes mill test reports for the steel, a signed welding map, a calibrated torque chart and the CE declaration of conformity. ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certificates are renewed annually and are publicly verifiable on the SGS database.
Real-world payback
A German mechanical contractor replaced block stacking with HC-G9055D racks in a 1 200 m² hall. Floor space released: 38 %. Retrieval time per pick: down from 11 min to 2 min. Annual labour saving: 2 100 man-hours. Damage-related scrap: reduced by 0.9 %. Full ROI achieved in 11 months.
Starting the conversation
Send a short message with the longest pipe length, the heaviest bundle weight and the clear ceiling height. Within one business day you will receive a dimensional sketch, a load table and a landed quotation that includes ocean freight, import duty and on-site assembly supervision. Herochu operates regional spare-part hubs in Houston, Duisburg and Dubai, so replacement arms or crank modules arrive within 72 hours, not six weeks.
Heavy-duty cantilever storage is no longer a catalogue gamble; it is a measurable, warrantied, code-compliant asset. Put Herochu between your pipes and your problems, and reclaim the square metres that belong to profit.
