The efficient storage of long, bulky, or irregular items such as pipes, bars, lumber, and sheet metal remains a significant challenge in modern industrial environments. Traditional shelving or pallet racking often fails to provide the necessary accessibility, density, or weight capacity required for these materials. Herochu’s Electric Telescopic Sheet Material Storage Rack represents a revolutionary approach—an adjustable heavy-duty storage system engineered to transform warehouse operations.

Telescopic Technology for Superior Access

The telescopic cantilever design is a game-changer for sheet material storage. Unlike static racks that force operators to reach, stretch, or maneuver around obstacles, this system utilizes an electric roll-out mechanism that extends the cantilever arm 100 percent out of the rack structure. This full extension provides instant, unobstructed access to every sheet without bending, reaching, or shifting adjacent materials.

By switching to a telescopic design, facilities unlock the power of overhead cranes. The crane can lower straps or a vacuum lifter directly onto the exposed material—a vertical lift path that dramatically simplifies handling and reduces the risk of damage. Each layer operates independently, allowing single-sheet retrievals without disturbing other materials.

Motorized Precision and Control

The standout feature of this system is its motorized operation. Unlike manual systems that require physical effort to crank arms in and out, Herochu’s electric telescopic rack utilizes an electric drive system with one-touch control for extension and retraction. This empowers a single operator to safely manage several tons of material with minimal physical effort.

The system employs stepper motor precision for smooth, controlled movement. Each layer extends via remote control or optional hand crank, accommodating plates from 50mm to 200mm in height—whether steel, aluminum, or stone. Dual operation modes provide flexibility: manual cranks for lighter loads up to 5 tons and 6 layers; electric motor for high-density storage with pulse-controlled displacement.

Versatility Across Industries

The telescopic cantilever system finds universal application across diverse industries. In the furniture industry, it stores timber and finished components without marring the finish. In the HVAC sector, it organizes ductwork and spiral pipes. In construction, it holds rebar and scaffolding. The system handles dense, heavy materials like sheet metal, steel plates, and heavy piping, offering a blend of automation and heavy-duty storage that redefines warehouse productivity.

The rack’s modular design supports reconfiguration as inventory needs change, making it a future-proof investment for growing businesses. Arms themselves can be customized to accommodate varying lengths and weights, ensuring optimal storage for every material type.

Structural Excellence and Durability

Zinc-coated steel frames resist corrosion, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. Multi-tier configurations optimize vertical space, with load capacities ranging from 1 to 10 tons per layer. CE, EU, and ISO 9001 certification guarantees adherence to strict safety and quality standards.

The system is specifically engineered for overhead crane operations in metallurgical and manufacturing environments. Perfect for tight spaces or near-processing zones, Herochu’s electric telescopic racks streamline storage for pipes, wires, and irregular loads, offering 100 percent material availability and effortless offcut management.
