For operations that depend on efficient storage of steel pipes, aluminum profiles, and solid bars, the racking system is the backbone of workflow. Yet for decades, warehouses have been forced into an uncomfortable compromise: sacrifice floor space for accessibility, or pack materials in and lose efficiency. Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Racks resolve this dilemma through an elegant engineering concept—sharing the rail.

The Shared-Rail Innovation

The fundamental innovation of Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Racks lies in what happens beneath the floor. A precision-ground steel track system runs the length of the storage area, and multiple cantilever rack units are mounted on mobile carriages that travel along this track. Only one aisle is needed—racks move manually or automatically to open access exactly where needed.

This shared-rail approach eliminates the need for permanent aisles between every rack row. Instead of dedicating 40 to 50 percent of warehouse floor space to aisles, the Herochu Track-Mobile system compresses multiple rack rows into a single aisle footprint. When access to a specific rack is required, that unit moves along the track to the aisle position, allowing the overhead crane or forklift to retrieve material without obstruction.

Telescopic Cantilever Arms: Precision Support for Profiles and Bars

The Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack combines track mobility with telescopic cantilever arms that extend outward, carrying the load clear of the rack body. For profiles and bars—which often have delicate surfaces or precise dimensions—the arms provide rigid support without the crushing pressure of stacked materials. Round and rectangular tubes in 6-meter, 9-meter, and 12-meter lengths are fully accommodated, and the system handles everything from small-diameter pipes to heavy structural steel sections.

The telescopic function is mechanically assisted, with arms extending on chain drives, motorized controls, or linear guide rails. The operator then lifts the material with an overhead crane, hoist, or vacuum suction lifter without reaching into the rack. This makes top-down loading practical: long steel bars can be lowered straight into position from above, something static racking blocks.

Capacity and Configuration

Each level of the Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack is rated at 3,000 to 5,000 kg, and a single rack unit carries more than 10 tons of total material when fully loaded. The system is available in multiple configurations to accommodate different material lengths and weight requirements, with 5-layer modular configurations and 3- or 4-layer options.

The HC-G6053 series accommodates standard 6-meter steel bars with a 3-ton load capacity per level. The HC-G9065 and HC-G12065 series handle 9-meter and 12-meter materials at 5 tons per level. Overall dimensions for the 6-meter model are 6,435 × 3,340 × 1,750 mm, with bilateral assistance for easy access from both sides.

Operational and Financial Advantages

The Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack delivers substantial operational and financial benefits for facilities handling steel bars and profiles. Floor space optimization is dramatic—vertical multi-tier storage combined with mobile rack movement reduces required warehouse footprint by over 70 percent compared to traditional ground stacking. Material damage is reduced through elimination of dragging and surface friction during retrieval, preserving surface quality and minimizing scrap.

Workplace safety improves through controlled, floor-level operations that prevent falls, manual strain, and accidents associated with ground-stacked materials. Inventory turnover accelerates as search times drop to seconds per pick, and the system delivers full payback inside typical multi-year cost evaluation windows.

Certified under CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards, the Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack is a proven solution for steel service centers, metal fabricators, and industrial warehouses that demand efficiency, safety, and reliability in long material storage.

The handling of long materials—structural steel pipe bundles, aluminum extrusions, industrial shafts, and heavy profiles—requires storage solutions that go beyond the capabilities of standard pallet racking. Conventional racking systems simply cannot accommodate extended lengths, while basic floor storage creates safety hazards and disorganized workspaces. The Herochu Industrial Automatic Cantilever Racking System represents a significant advancement in material handling technology, combining smart automation with an efficient vertical layout to deliver a high-density, highly organized storage solution.

Automated Storage and Retrieval for Long Loads

The Herochu Industrial Automatic Cantilever Racking System functions as an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) specifically engineered for the unique demands of long-load handling. Unlike static cantilever racks that require operators to reach deep into storage bays—maneuvering forklifts through tight channels and navigating around obstructions—the Herochu system brings the material to the aisle instead of sending the operator into the rack.

The telescopic function is the differentiator. Cantilever arms extend on mechanically assisted chain drives, motorized controls, or linear guide rails, pushing the stored bundle out of the rack and into the working aisle. The operator then lifts the material with an overhead crane, hoist, or vacuum suction lifter without reaching into the rack. This makes top-down loading practical: long steel pipes can be lowered straight into position from above, something static racking blocks.

Dual-Sided Access and Vertical Density

The Herochu Industrial Automatic Cantilever Racking System features dual-side discharge mechanisms that enable load access from both sides of the rack, keeping long bundles moving square without skewing during retrieval. Independent compartments on both sides store whole bundles alongside loose cut-offs categorized by diameter, wall thickness, or alloy grade. A default 600 mm clear vertical space facilitates sling passage and line-of-sight visual inventory checks.

Vertical multi-tier storage reduces required warehouse footprint by over 70 percent compared to traditional ground stacking, while narrow aisle configurations shrink operating aisles by several meters. The system accepts material from 2 meters to 12 meters within a single unit, with cantilever length set between 400 mm and 1,500 mm to match specific stock lists.

Drive Configurations for Every Operational Need

The Herochu Industrial Automatic Cantilever Racking System is available in both manual and electric drive configurations. The manual hand crank features a floor-level mechanical transmission that maintains positive holding power without electrical supply—ideal for unpowered halls or outage resilience. The motor-driven electric series offers automated, single-button operation with dedicated motors per level, allowing independent extension of specific tiers.

Each level is rated at 3,000 to 5,000 kg, and a single rack unit carries more than 10 tons of total material when fully loaded. Profiles up to 12,000 mm in length are fully supported across the arm structure.

Operational Benefits Across Industries

The Herochu Industrial Automatic Cantilever Racking System delivers measurable benefits across steel manufacturing, construction, and distribution sectors. Material damage is significantly reduced—the system eliminates dragging and surface friction during retrieval, preserving coated, galvanized, or polished pipe surfaces to minimize scrap and rework.

Inventory turnover accelerates as search times are reduced to seconds per pick, and the system delivers full payback inside typical multi-year cost evaluation windows. Certified under CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards, the Herochu Industrial Automatic Cantilever Racking System is a strategic investment for any facility handling long, heavy materials.

Most fabricators and steel service centers carry two primary stock lengths: 6-meter pipes that feed the cutting line during daily operations, and 12-meter material that waits for long-run orders. Purlins, structural profiles, and specialized sections often sit somewhere between these two dimensions. Building separate racking systems for each length doubles the floor space requirement and splits inventory into two management systems. The Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Cantilever Rack solves this problem by storing 2- to 12-meter stock within a single rack unit, with every layer extending on its own motor.

Mixed-Length Configuration: One Rack, Multiple Stock Sizes

The Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Cantilever Rack accepts material from 2 meters to 12 meters, with cantilever length set between 400 mm and 1,500 mm to match the specific stock list. A 6-meter bay and a 12-meter bay can share one row: the deeper bay carries the long profiles, the shorter bay carries the daily 6-meter sizes, and both run under the same control system. Extension length is chosen per bay—long arms for 12-meter stock, shorter arms where aisle clearance matters. Because the rack is built to order, the bay structure is defined from the material list before fabrication begins, so there is no wasted arm length and no bay too short for the stock it holds.

Electric Drive System: Per-Layer Independent Operation

The electric drive configuration of the Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Cantilever Rack offers automated, single-button operation with dedicated motors per level, allowing independent extension of specific tiers. A 0.75 kW gear motor propels a fully loaded rack at 6 meters per minute, delivering smooth, controlled movement even under maximum load. Operators control the system through an intuitive interface that provides precise positioning and eliminates the guesswork associated with manual retrieval.

For facilities that require backup capability or operate in unpowered halls, a manual hand crank option is available. The floor-level mechanical transmission maintains positive holding power without electrical supply, ensuring operational continuity during power outages or in areas where electrical installation is impractical.

Structural Integrity for Heavy Loads

The Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Cantilever Rack is built from heavy-duty Q235B cold-rolled steel with a powder-coated finish that resists corrosion and wear in industrial environments. Each level is rated at 3,000 to 5,000 kg, and a single rack unit carries more than 10 tons of total material when fully loaded. The frame absorbs dynamic loading forces from overhead cranes or forklifts, and dual-beam crossbars extend contact surfaces across each level to prevent structural twisting under unevenly distributed heavy bundles.

The system is available in 5-layer modular configurations with 3- or 4-layer options, and adjustable lengths accommodate 6-meter, 9-meter, and 12-meter stock. Overall dimensions for the 6-meter model are 6,435 × 3,340 × 1,750 mm, with bilateral assistance for easy access from both sides.

Return on Investment for Mixed-Length Operations

The Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Cantilever Rack delivers a compelling return on investment for facilities handling multiple stock lengths. By consolidating 6-meter and 12-meter inventory into a single racking system, floor space requirements are reduced by over 70 percent compared to traditional ground stacking.

Each rack unit features independent compartments on both sides, allowing facilities to store whole bundles alongside loose cut-offs categorized by diameter, wall thickness, or alloy grade. A default 600 mm clear vertical space facilitates sling passage and line-of-sight visual inventory checks, reducing the time required for cycle counting and material verification.

Telescopic Extension Mechanism: Layer-by-Layer Access

The defining feature of the Herochu Automatic Telescopic Cantilever Rack is its per-level telescopic extension capability. Arm assemblies slide smoothly outward into the aisle for direct overhead crane or forklift access, then retract into the frame footprint. This operation is driven by a motorized mechanism—each layer extends on its own dedicated motor, allowing operators to access specific tiers without disturbing adjacent stock.

The dual-side discharge mechanism enables load access from both sides of the rack and keeps long bundles moving square without skewing during retrieval. When the arms deploy, the entire stock layer moves outward with them, presenting every piece on that level for direct pickup. After the required item is retrieved, the arms retract. No adjacent stock is disturbed, no pieces are temporarily staged on the floor, and the sequence of material on other layers remains unchanged.

Capacity and Configuration Options

The Herochu Automatic Telescopic Cantilever Rack is available in multiple series to accommodate different material lengths and weight requirements. The HC-G6053 and HC-G6053S models accommodate 6,000 mm (6-meter) stock with a load rating of 3,000 kg (3 tons) per level, configurable with five layers.

The Herochu Intelligent Automatic Pipe Storage System employs advanced management and control systems that enable the completion of entire loading and unloading operations through an operator console. This liberates manpower from repetitive material handling tasks, allowing personnel to focus on higher-value activities.

Items can be retrieved as needed and placed neatly, saving space while providing clearer visibility into inventory quantity and stock levels. The system supports real-time digital inventory management and seamlessly connects with factory ERP and MES platforms, enabling true smart factory integration.

Built for Reliability and Safety

Every Herochu Intelligent Automatic Pipe Storage System holds CE, EU, and ISO 9001 certifications, reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting strict international standards for safety, performance, and quality. This isn’t just a storage solution—it’s a long-term investment in reducing operational friction, minimizing material damage, and freeing teams to focus on high-priority tasks instead of manual handling.

The system features real-time load monitoring and laser obstruction sensors that automatically halt operation during misalignments or overloads, ensuring both equipment and personnel safety.
