Walk into any fabrication workshop dealing with long metal profiles, and you’ll often see the same scene: aisles choked with bundles of steel tube, aluminum extrusions, and pipe. Operators spend valuable time—and take significant safety risks—maneuvering heavy, cumbersome materials with overhead cranes. This chaos isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a drain on productivity, safety, and your bottom line.

Herochu is changing the narrative. We’ve engineered a solution that replaces clutter with clarity and manual labor with automated precision. Introducing the Herochu Automated Pipes Metal Storage System—a turnkey automation unit designed to bring the future of organized, hands-off material storage to your workshop today.

What is the Herochu Automated Storage System?

This isn’t just another rack. It’s an integrated storage and retrieval ecosystem. The system is a robust combination of a loading/unloading gantry, high-capacity profile material racks, dedicated material frames, and precision guide rails. Think of it as a vertical, automated warehouse specifically for your long goods.

The core structure is built for the toughest environments, with a high load-bearing capacity that allows you to store single pieces or bundled profiles of different types and weights securely. Best of all, it’s fully customizable to your workshop. The number of rack layers and the overall quantity are tailored to your specific floor space and inventory needs, ensuring you only pay for what you require, starting at an accessible $19,999.

Three Tangible Benefits for Your Bottom Line

1. Dramatically Increase Storage Density
   By storing vertically with an automated retrieval system, you reclaim the wide aisles needed for crane operation. The system’s compact footprint allows you to store significantly more material in the same square footage—or free up valuable floor space for additional production machinery.

2. Slash Labor Time and Costs
   How many man-hours are spent searching for a specific profile? How much is spent manually hooking, lifting, and transporting materials? Our system eliminates this waste. With the push of a button, the gantry automatically retrieves the exact profile you need and delivers it to the pickup station. This allows your skilled workers to focus on value-added tasks like cutting, welding, and assembly, not searching and moving stock.

3. Enhance Safety and Protect Your Inventory
   Manual handling of long, heavy metals is a leading cause of workplace accidents. The Herochu Automated Pipes Metal Storage System removes the operator from the most dangerous part of the process. Furthermore, with organized storage and no manual dragging, you drastically reduce the risk of scratches, dents, and other damage to your valuable metal inventory.

Engineered for Reliable Performance

We don’t compromise on build quality. The main structure is constructed from robust Q235 steel, protected by a durable Powder Coated Finish to resist industrial wear and tear. The smooth and reliable Chain Drive Transmission on a Linear Guide Rail ensures stable movement, even under full load.

With key performance metrics like a Vertical Lifting Speed of 9m/min and an Inlet and Outlet Speed of 12m/min, the system provides fast, efficient throughput to keep your production lines fed without delay. With a Loading Capacity ranging from 1000kg to 10,000kg, there’s a configuration for virtually every need.

If you’re ready to transform your metal storage from a liability into a competitive advantage, the solution is here. The Herochu Automated Pipes Metal Storage System is more than equipment; it’s an investment in a smoother, safer, and more profitable operation.
