When your inventory includes steel profiles and tubes ranging from 6 to 7 meters in length, standard storage solutions often fall short. Fixed-arm cantilever racks force you to choose a single depth, which means either wasted space for shorter materials or inadequate support for longer ones. Herochu’s Telescopic Cantilever Rack for 6-7m Steel Profiles & Tubes solves this problem with an adjustable arm system that adapts to your material mix without compromising load capacity or structural integrity.

The Case for Telescopic Arms

In any steel storage operation, material lengths vary. A fabrication shop might receive 6-meter tubes on Monday and 7-meter profiles on Wednesday. Without adjustable arms, the rack must be sized for the longest material, leaving unused depth when shorter items are stored. Alternatively, the rack could be sized for the shorter material, creating dangerous overhang conditions when longer items are loaded.

Herochu’s telescopic arm design eliminates this compromise. Each arm extends from 400 mm to 800 mm in precise 100 mm increments. This range covers the typical depth requirements for 6-meter and 7-meter materials, and the incremental adjustment ensures that the arm can be set to the exact length needed. No arm replacement is required when material lengths change — a simple mechanical adjustment is all it takes.

Built for Heavy Loads and Long-Term Durability

The telescopic mechanism does not sacrifice load capacity. Each Herochu cantilever arm is rated for 5000 kg and has been tested to 1.5 times that load. The Q235B structural steel frame provides the strength needed for heavy steel pipe and profile bundles, while the electrostatic powder coating protects against corrosion in humid or chemically active environments.

Galvanized steel cantilever arms add an extra layer of rust and wear resistance. This is particularly important for telescopic arms, which have sliding surfaces that could be vulnerable to corrosion if not properly protected. The galvanized finish ensures smooth adjustment over the life of the rack.

Optimized for 6-7 Meter Materials

The Herochu telescopic cantilever rack is specifically engineered for the 6-7 meter material range. This makes it an ideal choice for metal fabrication factories that process standard commercial lengths of steel profiles and tubes. The rack can be configured with single-sided or double-sided access, depending on the layout of the facility and the available aisle space.

For operations that need to store both 6-meter and 7-meter materials simultaneously, the telescopic arms can be set at different extensions on different levels or different compartments. This allows one rack to serve multiple material categories without compromise.

Space-Saving Manual Crank Operation

Herochu’s telescopic cantilever rack features a manual crank mechanism for space-saving loading and unloading. The crank allows operators to adjust arm extension without climbing the rack or using special tools. This is particularly useful in facilities where overhead crane access is limited or where forklift operators need to make quick adjustments between loads.

The manual crank is designed for durability and ease of use. It requires minimal maintenance and does not depend on electrical power or hydraulic systems. In environments where reliability is paramount, this simple mechanical approach is a significant advantage.

Secure Storage Reduces Damage and Search Time

Loose or bundled materials can be stored securely on Herochu’s cantilever rack. The independent compartments on each tier keep different material types separated, reducing the risk of damage from shifting loads. For operations that handle both bundled and loose materials, the rack can be configured with appropriate arm spacing and compartment sizes.

Secure storage also reduces search time. When materials are organized by type, size, and length, workers can locate what they need quickly. This improves productivity and reduces the likelihood of order-picking errors.

Technical Highlights

The Herochu telescopic cantilever rack is available in models that accommodate 6000 mm and 9000 mm pipe lengths, with custom configurations available for 7000 mm materials. Maximum load per level ranges from 3000 kg to 5000 kg, depending on the model. The number of layers is customizable, with five or six layers as standard. Clear space between levels can be adjusted to suit material dimensions, with 600 mm as the default.

The dual-side mechanical assistance discharge method allows loading and unloading from both sides of the rack. This is particularly useful in high-throughput operations where forklifts need to access materials from multiple angles.

Installation and Reconfiguration

Like all Herochu cantilever racks, the telescopic model features a plug-in design that eliminates on-site welding. Bolt-together modular construction allows two workers to assemble a standard bay in about four hours. The rack can be relocated or reconfigured as inventory needs change, making it a flexible long-term investment.

Reinforced base plates with 20 mm anchor bolts ensure stability under full load. The floor-mounted design prevents tipping, even when telescopic arms are fully extended with heavy loads. Herochu provides a detailed assembly manual and foundation drawing with every order.

Quality Assurance

Herochu’s telescopic cantilever rack is CE certified and manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management systems. The three-year structural warranty covers all components, giving buyers confidence in the long-term performance of their investment.

For metal fabrication factories and steel service centers that handle 6-7 meter steel profiles and tubes, the Herochu Telescopic Cantilever Rack offers a combination of flexibility, capacity, and durability that is difficult to match. Its adjustable arms, robust construction, and space-saving design make it a practical solution for real-world steel storage challenges.
