In industries ranging from construction and manufacturing to oil and gas, proper pipe storage is crucial for maintaining productivity, safety, and organization. Pipes—whether steel, aluminum, PVC, or copper—are bulky, heavy, and come in varying lengths, making them challenging to store efficiently with traditional shelving. This is where Herochu’s Cantilever Pipe Racks shine. Designed specifically for long, cylindrical items, these robust storage systems transform cluttered warehouses into streamlined, high-performance spaces.
What Are Cantilever Pipe Racks?
Cantilever pipe racks are specialized storage solutions engineered to handle long, heavy pipes that traditional racking systems struggle to accommodate. Unlike standard shelving with vertical supports on both ends, cantilever racks feature horizontal arms extending from a single vertical column—creating unobstructed access to stored pipes. This design eliminates the need to maneuver around front supports, making loading, unloading, and retrieving pipes faster and easier.
Herochu’s cantilever pipe racks are built with industrial-grade materials, ensuring they can bear the weight of even the heaviest pipes. The arms are adjustable, allowing customization to fit pipes of different diameters (from small 2-inch tubes to large 24-inch cylinders) and lengths (up to 6000mm or more), making them a versatile choice for diverse storage needs.
Key Benefits of Herochu’s Cantilever Pipe Racks
1. Optimized Space Utilization
Warehouse space is a valuable resource, and Herochu’s cantilever racks maximize every square meter. Their vertical design leverages overhead space, while the adjustable arm spacing allows for tight, efficient packing of pipes. Whether you’re storing short 1-meter pipes or long 6-meter ones, the racks can be configured to minimize gaps, ensuring you store more pipes in a smaller footprint. This frees up floor space for other operations, such as assembly lines or inventory staging.
2. Streamlined Organization and Inventory Management
Searching for a specific pipe in a disorganized pile is time-consuming and frustrating. Herochu’s cantilever racks enable systematic organization—pipes can be sorted by material, size, project, or usage frequency. This makes inventory checks faster, reduces downtime when retrieving materials, and minimizes the risk of misplacing or losing pipes. With clear visibility of all stored items, workers can quickly locate the exact pipe needed, keeping projects on schedule.
3. Enhanced Safety for Workers and Materials
Heavy pipes stored haphazardly pose significant risks: they can roll, topple, or shift, causing injuries to workers or damage to the pipes themselves. Herochu’s cantilever racks eliminate these hazards. The sturdy vertical columns and reinforced arms keep pipes securely in place, even when fully loaded. Additionally, the open design reduces the need for workers to climb over or under pipes, lowering the risk of strains or accidents during handling.
4. Durability for Long-Term Cost Savings
Investing in a storage system that needs frequent replacement is costly. Herochu’s cantilever pipe racks are built to last, with high-quality steel construction, corrosion-resistant finishes, and reinforced welding. They withstand daily use, heavy loads, and harsh warehouse environments (including humidity, dust, and temperature fluctuations). This durability means lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan, delivering a strong return on investment over time.
5. Easy Access and Efficient Handling
The cantilever design’s standout feature is its unobstructed access. Forklifts, cranes, or manual lifting equipment can easily reach pipes from the front, side, or even above, eliminating the need to move other pipes to retrieve the one you need. This speeds up loading and unloading processes, reducing idle time and boosting overall productivity. For high-volume operations, this efficiency translates to significant time and labor savings.
How Herochu’s Cantilever Racks Compare to Other Pipe Storage Options
While there are other pipe storage solutions—such as horizontal racks and vertical racks—cantilever systems offer unique advantages, especially for long pipes:
- Horizontal racks: These work well for short pipes but require vertical supports on both ends, limiting access to longer items. Retrieving a single pipe often means moving others, causing delays.
- Vertical racks: Ideal for small-diameter, short pipes, but they can be unstable for long, heavy pipes and are harder to load with machinery.
Herochu’s cantilever racks, by contrast, excel with long pipes (6 meters or more) and heavy loads (up to 3T per arm in some models). Their adjustable arms and open design make them the most flexible option for warehouses handling diverse pipe sizes.
Customization: Tailored to Your Warehouse Needs
No two warehouses are the same, and Herochu understands that. Their cantilever pipe racks are fully customizable to fit your specific requirements:
- Adjustable arm length and spacing: Modify arm lengths to accommodate different pipe diameters, and adjust spacing between arms to fit varying lengths.
- Load capacity: Choose racks with arm capacities ranging from 500kg to 3T or more, depending on your pipe weight.
- Height and depth: Customize the height of vertical columns and the depth of arms to maximize your warehouse’s vertical space and floor layout.
- Finish options: Select powder-coated or galvanized finishes to resist corrosion, critical for outdoor storage or humid environments.
Whether you need a small rack for a workshop or a large-scale system for a distribution center, Herochu’s team works with you to design a solution that fits perfectly.

Choosing the Right Herochu Cantilever Rack: Key Considerations
To select the perfect cantilever pipe rack for your needs, keep these factors in mind:
- Pipe dimensions: Measure the length, diameter, and weight of your pipes. Herochu’s racks can handle everything from 2-inch PVC tubes to 24-inch steel pipes.
- Storage volume: Calculate how many pipes you need to store daily, weekly, and during peak periods to determine the number of arms and columns required.
- Warehouse space: Assess your available floor space and ceiling height. Herochu’s design team can help optimize layout to maximize capacity.
- Handling equipment: If using forklifts or cranes, ensure the rack spacing and height accommodate your machinery for safe, efficient loading.
Herochu’s experts can guide you through this process, ensuring your rack system integrates seamlessly with your workflow.
