Herochu Pipe Storage Racks: Customizable, Safe Solutions for Industrial Needs (2025 Guide)
Walk into any petrochemical plant, power facility, or heavy manufacturing workshop, and you’ll quickly spot a common pain point: disorganized pipe storage. Pipes leaning against walls risk dents or corrosion; overstacked bundles threaten employee safety; and wasted floor space slows down maintenance. Herochu Pipe Storage Racks solve these issues with certified strength, flexible design, and a starting price of just $3,698. Whether you need a standard model for 8-ton loads or a fully customized rack for 50+ tons, Herochu delivers solutions that fit your workshop—not the other way around.
Why Herochu Stands Out in Industrial Storage
Herochu isn’t just a brand—it’s a division of Jinan Constant Storage Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a high-tech leader with end-to-end expertise in research, production, and service. Unlike generic racking companies that sell one-size-fits-all products, Jinan Constant’s engineers collaborate with you to understand your workflow: Are you storing 12-meter steel pipes for a power plant? Do you need to access inventory multiple times a day? Are tight aisles limiting your space? Every Herochu Pipe Storage Rack is built to answer these questions, combining advanced materials (think high-grade steel) with precision engineering to handle heavy loads without compromising safety.
Certified for Confidence: CE, UE, ISO 9001 Standards
When you’re storing pipes that weigh up to 42 tons per rack, “good enough” safety isn’t enough. Herochu Pipe Storage Racks carry CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications—a trio of global standards that guarantee structural integrity. These aren’t just stickers: every weld is tested for strength, every support beam is stress-checked, and every control system is calibrated to prevent malfunctions. For chemical plants handling corrosive materials or petrochemical facilities with flammable liquids, this certification means peace of mind. You won’t just meet industry regulations—you’ll exceed them.
Standard Models: Built for Every Industrial Need
Herochu’s four standard models are designed to cover common storage scenarios, so you don’t have to overpay for features you don’t need. Each model includes PLC frequency conversion control—a game-changer for efficiency that lets you adjust rack movement automatically, cutting down on manual labor and human error. Here’s how they stack up:
| Model | Storage Sheet Size | Per-Layer Load | Total Load | Layers | Arm Length | Layer Spacing |
| HC-G6053S | 6000mm | 2tons | 8tons | 3+1 | 550mm | 600mm |
| HC-G6053D | 6000mm | 3tons | 25tons | 4+1 | 600mm | 600mm |
| HC-G9055S | 9000mm | 5tons | 35tons | 3+1 | 800mm | 800mm |
| HC-G9055D | 12000mm | 6tons | 42tons | 3+1 | 800mm | 800mm |
- HC-G6053S (Single-Tier): Perfect for small workshops or light loads (e.g., 2-inch diameter pipes). Its compact 550mm arms save space, while 600mm layer spacing makes it easy to grab pipes without moving other inventory.
- HC-G6053D (Double-Tier): Step up to medium-volume storage with 4+1 layers and 25 tons of total capacity. Ideal for manufacturing facilities that need to store multiple pipe sizes without cluttering floors.
- HC-G9055S (Long-Pipe Focus): For 9-meter pipes (common in chemical plants), this double-tier model offers 5-ton per-layer strength and 800mm arms to prevent sagging.
- HC-G9055D (Heavy-Duty): The workhorse for power plants and large yards—12-meter sheet size, 6-ton per-layer load, and 42 tons total. Its 800mm layer spacing fits insulated pipes or cable trays.
All models come in orange or blue, but customization lets you match your workshop’s color scheme—small details that keep your facility organized and professional.
Customization: Your Rack, Your Rules
The biggest advantage of Herochu Pipe Storage Racks? They’re fully customizable to your workshop’s unique needs. Tired of cutting pipes to fit standard sheets? We’ll build a storage sheet of any length—7500mm, 15000mm, even 20000mm for specialized projects. Need to handle heavier loads than our standard models? Our engineers can design racks with per-layer capacities of 8+ tons and total loads of 50+ tons (e.g., for 10-inch diameter steel pipes).
Even small adjustments make a big difference:
- Layers: Increase to 6+1 to fit high ceilings, or drop to 2+1 for low-clearance areas.
- Arms: Shorten to 400mm for narrow aisles, or lengthen to 1000mm for extra-long pipes.
- Materials: Add corrosion-resistant coating for coastal facilities or chemical plants (prevents rust from saltwater or harsh chemicals).
Every custom rack still meets CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards—so you never have to choose between fit and safety.
How to Choose the Right Herochu Pipe Storage Rack
Selecting the perfect rack isn’t about picking the biggest model—it’s about matching it to your needs. Follow these steps to avoid costly mistakes:
- Define Your Loads: First, calculate the weight and size of your pipes. A 3-inch steel pipe weighs ~10kg per meter—so 100 meters would be 1 ton. If you store 8 bundles of 100-meter pipes, you need at least 8 tons of total capacity (the HC-G6053S works here). For heavier pipes (e.g., 6-inch steel, ~28kg per meter), the HC-G9055D’s 42 tons makes sense.
- Consider Your Space: Measure your workshop’s floor space, ceiling height, and aisle width. Narrow aisles (<2 meters) call for single-tier models or short arms (550mm–600mm). High ceilings (>5 meters) let you add layers (4+1 or 5+1) to save floor space.
- Think About Access: How often do you need to retrieve pipes? If you access inventory daily, choose a model with PLC control (all Herochu racks have this) for quick, automated movement. If pipes are stored long-term, prioritize corrosion resistance or weatherproofing (for outdoor yards).
- Budget Wisely: Start with a standard model if it fits—they’re cost-effective at 3,698+.Customizationaddscost,butit’sworthitifitpreventspipedamage(e.g.,a5,000 custom rack saves you from replacing $10,000 worth of dented pipes).
Future Trends in Pipe Rack Design: What’s Next?
Herochu stays ahead of industry trends to keep your facility competitive. Here’s what’s shaping the future of pipe storage:
- Digital Integration: Soon, Herochu racks will include IoT sensors that track load weight, temperature, and corrosion—alerting you to issues before they cause downtime. For example, a sensor might detect a rack carrying 5 tons over its limit, triggering an alert to redistribute the load.
- Sustainability: We’re moving to recycled steel for rack frames (reducing carbon footprint by 30%) and energy-efficient PLC systems (cuts electricity use by 15%). For facilities aiming for LEED certification, these changes help meet green building standards.
- Automation: Next-gen models will integrate with warehouse management systems (WMS)—so when you need a 9-meter pipe, the WMS tells the rack to move it to the loading dock automatically. No more manual searching or forklift delays.
Safety First: Measures to Protect Your Team
Safety isn’t an add-on—it’s built into every Herochu Pipe Storage Rack. Here’s how we keep your team safe:
1. Compliance with Global Standards
All racks meet OSHA (U.S.), CE (EU), and ISO 9001 safety requirements. This includes:
- Load-bearing beams rated for 150% of their maximum capacity (e.g., a 2-ton layer can handle 3 tons in emergency situations).
- Anti-tip brackets that secure racks to walls or floors (prevents tipping if a forklift hits the frame).
2. Built-In Safety Features
- Guardrails: All double-tier models include 1.2-meter guardrails on upper layers to prevent falls.
- Safety Signage: Clear labels indicate maximum load, access points, and emergency stop buttons.
- Non-Slip Surfaces: Step plates on upper layers have a textured finish to prevent slips (critical for wet or oily workshops).
3. Training and Maintenance
Jinan Constant provides free training for your team: how to use PLC controls, how to inspect racks, and how to respond to emergencies. We also offer a maintenance schedule tailored to your usage (e.g., monthly checks for high-use racks, quarterly checks for long-term storage). Routine tasks include:
- Inspecting welds for cracks.
- Testing PLC controls to ensure smooth movement.
- Tightening fasteners that may loosen over time.
By following these steps, you reduce the risk of accidents and extend your rack’s lifespan (most Herochu racks last 15+ years with proper care).
