“Look, if you’ve ever tripped over a 20-foot bundle of steel tube or played Jenga with warped plywood sheets, you already know why I swear by this thing.”
— Eddie, shop foreman, Kansas City

Custom-built for your space, starting at $6,200. CE, UE, ISO 9001 stamped and ready to rumble.

My First Date with the Beast
I rolled it into the shop at 7 a.m. on a Monday that smelled like burnt coffee and regret. By noon I’d parked an entire month’s worth of 12 m aluminum extrusions on one side, and the forklift still had room to spin donuts. The crank handle? Smooth as a buttered wrench—no hydraulics, no drama. Just click-click-click and the arm glides out like it owes you money.

What Makes It Different from the “Regular” Racks
Most cantilever setups stick you with fixed arms. You bang the forklift, cross your fingers, and hope the weld holds. Herochu’s crank-out arms actually move. Need to grab the middle pipe in a stack? Twist the handle, arm extends, driver drops the forks, done. No more yelling “Hold up, let me move the top layer first.”

Specs that matter:

• Heights up to 10.5 m—go ahead, kiss the ceiling.
• Single-arm load: 1,500 kg (that’s a whole bundle of schedule-80).
• Arm reach: 300 mm to 3 m, so your longest stock never hangs off the edge like a diving board.
• 3 tons per layer—pile it on.
• Custom colors, because safety orange is sexy.

Case Study #1 – The Pipe Palace
Customer: Southwest Irrigation, Tucson AZ
Problem: 1,200 irrigation pipes (6 m long) scattered across the yard, half buried in dust.
Solution: Six HC-G6053D bays, 9 m high, 2 m arms.
Results:

• 68 % less yard space used.
• Pick time per pipe dropped from 12 min to 3 min.
• First year savings on forklift fuel alone: $4,800.

Case Study #2 – The Beam Boneyard
Customer: Great Lakes Structural, Milwaukee WI
Problem: Bridge beams weighing 1.2 t each, stacked three high—OSHA nightmare.
Solution: Crank-out arms let them grab any beam without restacking.
Bonus: Inspector walked in, saw the lock-pins and powder-coat finish, and wrote “exceeds standard” in his notes. First time ever.

FAQ – The Stuff My Buddies Keep Asking

Q: Do I need a PhD to install this monster?
A: Nope. Bolt the base plates to the floor, drop the columns, pin the arms, crank twice. Two guys, four hours, one case of cold ones.

Q: Hand-crank? Seriously? My apprentice will break it.
A: The crank uses a 48-tooth pinion. Kid can bench-press TikTok, but he still can’t over-torque it—built-in clutch just clicks and slips.

Q: Salt air eats everything here on the coast.
A: Carbon-steel core, full phosphating bath, 80-micron powder coat. We left a test rack outside in Galveston fog for 18 months—zero rust creep.

Q: Can I add arms later when we start stocking 40-foot rods?
A: Columns come pre-punched every 150 mm. Slide in another arm, pop two pins, keep growing.

Q: Price locked?
A: Quote’s good for 30 days. After that, steel futures might bite us both.

Raw Materials, Welds, and other Boring-but-Critical Bits

• Steel sourced from the same mill that builds freight-car frames—overkill is underrated.
• Dioxygen shielded welds = no pinholes, no bird poop spatter.
• Shot-blast to Sa 2.5 before powder—paint sticks like gossip.

One Quick Confession
I originally bought a single bay to “test.” Three weeks later I’d cranked out every arm so often the paint started wearing where my hand sits. Ordered four more, painted them matte black, and the crew started calling the aisle “the Batcave.” Morale up 27 % (yes, we measured).
