For facilities specializing in metal stock, construction materials, or manufacturing, storing bars, tubes, and structural sections safely and accessibly is a constant operational hurdle. Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Shelving for Bars & Tubes provides a revolutionary answer, merging immense strength with user-friendly mechanics to create the ultimate storage partner.

Addressing the Heavy-Duty Storage Problem
Traditional racking for long items often forces compromise: either sacrifice accessibility for density or sacrifice capacity for reach. Our Crank-Out Cantilever Racking system shatters this compromise. It is engineered for industrial use, fully welded to high standards, creating a sturdy shelving solution that feels permanent and reliable.

In-Depth Look at the Crank-Out Advantage
The “Crank-Out” mechanism is elegantly simple but profoundly effective. A hand crank smoothly extends the loaded arms into the aisle.

• Unrivaled Capacity and Access: The drawers (arms) can be pulled out to 75 percent of their depth (with 100% extension possible on specific models), and have an astounding capacity of 5,000 pounds (approx. 2270kg) per layer. This heavy loading capacity ensures you can store significant weight without sacrificing the easy access the crank provides.

• Safety as a Core Design Principle: The system provides an organized storage system that effectively eliminates the dangers of unsafe stacking. The manual lock is critical—it prevents adjacent levels from being opened simultaneously, maintaining the rack’s center of gravity and ensuring safe operations. This reduces injuries and potential product damage.

• Space Optimization and Versatility: The design increases storage capacity by using all height space, up to 20 feet. You can store any length of material, from short offcuts to full-length beams. The ability to add trays for leftovers further enhances organization for small pieces.

• Simplicity and Durability: The system is virtually maintenance-free. Its simple and robust design, built with high-strength carbon steel, guarantees a durable and reliable storage solution that withstands daily industrial use. A single person can operate it easily, reducing labor requirements.

Beyond Basic Storage: The Glide-Out Enhancement
For scenarios beyond standard crane access, the system’s versatility shines. You can add a Glide-Out system to help retrieve objects that can’t be maneuvered with a forklift. This is a very practical solution to fully optimize the space of your industrial shelves, allowing for manual retrieval of items from densely packed racks.

This Heavy Duty Pipe Storage Rack is more than shelving; it’s a commitment to a safer, more efficient, and immensely capable warehouse. It transforms chaotic piles of metal into an orderly, high-density inventory that is both protected and instantly accessible.
