For operations that depend on efficient storage of steel pipes, aluminum profiles, and solid bars, the racking system is the backbone of workflow. Yet for decades, warehouses have been forced into an uncomfortable compromise: sacrifice floor space for accessibility, or pack materials in and lose efficiency. Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Racks resolve this dilemma through an elegant engineering concept—sharing the rail.

The Shared-Rail Innovation

The fundamental innovation of Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Racks lies in what happens beneath the floor. A precision-ground steel track system runs the length of the storage area, and multiple cantilever rack units are mounted on mobile carriages that travel along this track. Only one aisle is needed—racks move manually or automatically to open access exactly where needed.

This shared-rail approach eliminates the need for permanent aisles between every rack row. Instead of dedicating 40 to 50 percent of warehouse floor space to aisles, the Herochu Track-Mobile system compresses multiple rack rows into a single aisle footprint. When access to a specific rack is required, that unit moves along the track to the aisle position, allowing the overhead crane or forklift to retrieve material without obstruction.

Telescopic Cantilever Arms: Precision Support for Profiles and Bars

The Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack combines track mobility with telescopic cantilever arms that extend outward, carrying the load clear of the rack body. For profiles and bars—which often have delicate surfaces or precise dimensions—the arms provide rigid support without the crushing pressure of stacked materials. Round and rectangular tubes in 6-meter, 9-meter, and 12-meter lengths are fully accommodated, and the system handles everything from small-diameter pipes to heavy structural steel sections.

The telescopic function is mechanically assisted, with arms extending on chain drives, motorized controls, or linear guide rails. The operator then lifts the material with an overhead crane, hoist, or vacuum suction lifter without reaching into the rack. This makes top-down loading practical: long steel bars can be lowered straight into position from above, something static racking blocks.

Capacity and Configuration

Each level of the Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack 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 system is available in multiple configurations to accommodate different material lengths and weight requirements, with 5-layer modular configurations and 3- or 4-layer options.

The HC-G6053 series accommodates standard 6-meter steel bars with a 3-ton load capacity per level. The HC-G9065 and HC-G12065 series handle 9-meter and 12-meter materials at 5 tons per level. Overall dimensions for the 6-meter model are 6,435 × 3,340 × 1,750 mm, with bilateral assistance for easy access from both sides.

Operational and Financial Advantages

The Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack delivers substantial operational and financial benefits for facilities handling steel bars and profiles. Floor space optimization is dramatic—vertical multi-tier storage combined with mobile rack movement reduces required warehouse footprint by over 70 percent compared to traditional ground stacking. Material damage is reduced through elimination of dragging and surface friction during retrieval, preserving surface quality and minimizing scrap.

Workplace safety improves through controlled, floor-level operations that prevent falls, manual strain, and accidents associated with ground-stacked materials. Inventory turnover accelerates as search times drop to seconds per pick, and the system delivers full payback inside typical multi-year cost evaluation windows.

Certified under CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards, the Herochu Track-Mobile Cantilever Storage Rack is a proven solution for steel service centers, metal fabricators, and industrial warehouses that demand efficiency, safety, and reliability in long material storage.
