In industrial settings, efficiently storing and managing long materials such as pipes, sheets, and metal bars is a critical challenge. Traditional storage methods often lead to wasted space, increased retrieval time, and potential material damage. The Heavy-Duty Storage Cantilever Rack (HC-G6053S/HC-G6053D) is designed to revolutionize material handling, offering a robust, space-saving, and highly accessible solution for warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Why Choose a Cantilever Rack for Long Materials?
1. Space Optimization
Traditional shelving systems require wide aisles for forklift access, leading to inefficient space utilization. The cantilever design eliminates this issue by allowing materials to be stored on extended arms without needing additional aisle space. This feature alone can increase warehouse capacity by up to 40%, making it ideal for facilities with limited space.
2. Enhanced Accessibility
Roll-out cantilever racks enable workers to access materials without moving entire sections. Each layer can be pulled out individually, reducing retrieval time by 70% compared to static shelving. This is particularly beneficial for busy production environments where quick material access is crucial.
3. Heavy-Duty Load Capacity
The HC-G6053S/HC-G6053D models are built with high-strength steel, ensuring durability under extreme loads. With a total loading capacity of 8 tons per rack, these units can handle large quantities of pipes, sheets, or metal bars without compromising structural integrity.
Key Features of the HC-G6053S/HC-G6053D Cantilever Racks
1. Crane-Based Material Handling
- Materials are lifted and placed using a crane, eliminating the need for forklifts or manual labor.
- Reduces workplace injuries and improves safety.
- Saves time by allowing direct transfer from rack to workstations.
2. Adjustable Arm Lengths
- Arms can be extended up to 550mm (HC-G6053S) or 600mm (HC-G6053D), accommodating various material lengths.
- Ideal for storing pipes, sheets, and long metal bars without requiring extra space.
3. PLC Frequency Conversion Control
- Electrically operated, ensuring smooth and precise movements.
- Reduces energy consumption compared to hydraulic systems.
- Low maintenance due to fewer moving parts.
4. Modular Design for Customization
- Number of layers: 3+1 (HC-G6053S) or 4+1 (HC-G6053D)
- Single or double unit configurations available.
- Customizable dimensions (3000x1500mm for HC-G6053S, 4000x1500mm for HC-G6053D).
5. Safety Features
- Reinforced steel construction prevents buckling under heavy loads.
- Non-slip plastic supports on trays minimize material shifting.
- Orange/Blue color options for high visibility in industrial environments.
Applications Across Industries
