Not all warehouses are created equal. Some facilities are long, narrow corridors where maximizing linear wall space is the priority. Others are wide, open bays where central aisles can serve two racks simultaneously. Recognizing that layout dictates logistics, Constant Storage Machinery offers our Warehouse Telescopic Arm Rack in both Single and Double Side Configurations, providing tailored solutions for the chaotic world of long irregular material storage.

From twisted metal scrap to extruded aluminum profiles and structural steel angles, irregular materials defy the uniformity required by standard pallet racking. Our telescopic arm racks are designed to embrace this irregularity, and the choice between single and double sided setups allows you to customize the density of your storage.

Double Side Configuration: The Density Powerhouse

For facilities with ample floor space and a high volume of SKUs, the double sided configuration is the optimal choice. By placing two racks back-to-back, you effectively double your storage capacity within the same footprint. This configuration creates a centralized storage “aisle” where a single forklift can access materials from both sides.

Benefits of the Double Side Setup:

• High-Density Storage: Ideal for warehouses handling large quantities of long materials like standard pipe lengths and rebar.

• Optimized Floor Plans: It creates a natural flow, with receiving on one side and shipping on the other, or simply maximizes the output of a single access aisle.

• Structural Symmetry: The back-to-back design offers inherent stability, as the loads balance each other out, anchored to the floor through a common base.

Single Side Configuration: Maximizing Perimeter Space

Many warehouses, particularly those in urban settings or retrofitted factories, have limited width but extensive perimeter walls. In these cases, the single sided telescopic arm rack is indispensable. These units are designed to be placed against a wall, utilizing space that is otherwise unusable for floor stacking.

Why choose Single Sided?

• Utilizing Dead Space: It transforms blank walls into high-capacity storage zones.

• Easy Access: With only one side to manage, retrieval paths are simpler, reducing forklift travel time.

• Segregation: It allows for clear segregation of materials, perfect for staging “slow movers” or specialty alloys away from the main traffic flow.

Customizable Arm Quantity and Spacing

Regardless of the side configuration, the true power of this system lies in its customizability. Long irregular materials, such as tapered poles or bundles of mixed-length tubing, require specific support. We offer fully customizable arm quantity and spacing. You aren’t locked into a pre-set number of arms. Need more arms to support thin, flimsy materials? We can add them. Need fewer arms to accommodate massive, rigid I-beams? We can remove them.

This synergy between configuration (single or double) and customization (arm layout) ensures that your investment in a telescopic arm rack yields the highest possible return on storage density. Whether you are lining the walls of a small fabrication shop or filling the floor of a massive distribution center, our racks are engineered to fit your specific long and irregular material storage needs.
