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. Retrieval times drop from minutes to seconds per pick, and material damage from dragging and surface friction is virtually eliminated.

The system accelerates inventory turnover, reduces labor costs associated with searching and handling, and minimizes scrap from damaged materials. Certified under CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards, the Herochu Heavy-Duty Electric Telescopic Cantilever Rack is a proven solution for steel service centers, pipe fabricators, and industrial warehouses that demand efficiency, safety, and reliability.
