Herochu Long Material Storage Cantilever Racks: Engineered Safety for Heavy-Duty Storage
The Hidden Dangers of Disorganized Long Material Storage
In industrial environments, long materials such as steel pipes, lumber, and aluminum extrusions present unique storage challenges. Traditional stacking methods—though common—introduce significant risks:
- Unstable Foundations: Irregular diameters and uneven stacking create cascading instability.
- Chain-Reaction Hazards: Removing one bundle can destabilize entire piles.
- Operational Inefficiency: Retrieving buried items forces unsafe lifting maneuvers.
These risks are not hypothetical. According to OSHA, improper material storage accounts for 12% of warehouse accidents annually, often involving severe injuries or fatalities.
Why Cantilever Racking is the Solution
Herochu’s CE, EU, and ISO 9001-certified cantilever racks are engineered to eliminate these risks through:
1. Structural Integrity
- Heavy-Gauge Steel Columns: Supports up to 5,000 lbs per arm (customizable).
- Anchored Base: Prevents tipping, even with dynamic loads.
- Adjustable Arms: Accommodate materials of varying lengths (6–24 ft).
2. Safety by Design
- Independent Storage Units: Prevents chain reactions during retrieval.
- Clear Load Paths: Eliminates guesswork for forklift operators.
- Anti-Roll Features: Optional chocks and barriers for cylindrical materials.
3. Operational Efficiency
- 100% Accessibility: No need to move adjacent items.
- Modular Expandability: Grow storage capacity without redesign.
- Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: Ideal for outdoor or humid environments.
Certifications That Matter
- CE Marking: Compliance with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
- ISO 9001: Rigorous quality control in manufacturing.
- Custom Load Testing: Each rack undergoes 150% stress testing.
Who Benefits from Herochu Cantilever Racks?
- Metal Fabricators: Secure steel pipe and beam storage.
- Lumber Yards: Prevent splintering and warping.
- Construction Suppliers: Streamline inventory management.
Invest in Safety, Not Just Storage
A single accident can cost $100,000+ in fines and downtime. Herochu’s cantilever racks don’t just store materials—they engineer safety into every load path.
