Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking for Metal Tubes and Pipes

Reclaim Your Space: The Herochu Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking System for Unmatched Pipe & Tube Storage

Imagine your warehouse or workshop. Now, picture the long, awkward, and heavy items—the metal tubes, the structural pipes, the bar stock, the lumber. Are they leaning precariously against a wall, consuming a vast footprint on the floor in a tangled heap, or buried on deep shelving where retrieving a single piece is a 15-minute ordeal? This chaotic storage isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a constant drain on productivity, a safety hazard, and a silent thief of your most valuable asset: space.

The Herochu Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking System is engineered to end this compromise. This isn’t just another shelf or rack; it’s a fundamental rethinking of storage for long, bulky, and heavy materials. Starting at an accessible $3,500 and fully customizable to your exact operational needs, our CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certified system transforms cluttered storage areas into models of efficiency and safety.

The Cantilever Advantage: Why an “Open-Front” Design is a Game-Changer

Traditional pallet racking or shelving units are defined by their four-corner posts. While effective for boxed goods, these front columns become significant obstacles when dealing with lengths of 6, 9, or even 12 meters. The Herochu Cantilever system eliminates this problem at its root.

How It Works: Our racks feature robust vertical columns only at the rear of the system. From these columns, heavy-duty arms extend outward, creating unobstructed shelving supports. The result is a completely open front and sides.

Why This Matters for Your Business:

• Unobstructed Access & Faster Handling: Forklifts, cranes, and personnel have clear, direct access to every single item. No more awkward maneuvering to slide a 10-meter pipe out from between two front posts. This direct access dramatically reduces loading and unloading times, lowering your labor costs and accelerating order fulfillment.

• Unparalleled Flexibility: The needs of a metal fabricator today might be different from those next month. The arms on a Herochu cantilever rack are easily adjustable in height without the need for disassembly. This means you can instantly reconfigure your storage space to accommodate a new project, a different pipe diameter, or a mix of materials, all without investing in new infrastructure.

• Maximized Space Utilization: By storing items longitudinally and utilizing vertical space up to 5 meters, you reclaim the valuable floor space currently being wasted. This “footprint” can now be used for additional manufacturing, assembly, or other profitable activities.

Engineered for the Extreme: A Deep Dive into Herochu’s Heavy-Duty Construction

We don’t use the term “heavy-duty” lightly. Every component of a Herochu rack is designed, calculated, and fabricated to bear immense loads with unwavering stability.

The Backbone: Reinforced Vertical Columns
Our columns are constructed from high-tensile, cold-rolled steel, forming the immutable anchor of the entire system. They are engineered to handle not just the downward force of your inventory, but also the dynamic loads and potential seismic forces encountered in an industrial environment. The standard models, like the HC-G9055D, showcase a double-column design, effectively doubling the structural integrity for the most demanding applications with total load capacities exceeding 42 tons per rack.

The Workhorse: Adjustable & Robust Arms
The arms are the defining feature of the cantilever system, and ours are built to perform. With lengths customizable from 550mm to 800mm, they provide the perfect support base for your materials.

• Tapered Design: Many of our arm options are subtly tapered, providing a wider, more stable base at the column connection (where stress is highest) and a sleeker profile at the tip for easier loading.

• Secure Locking Mechanism: Arms slide into precisely machined slots on the column and are secured with industrial-grade locking pins or bolts, ensuring they cannot dislodge under load or vibration.

The Foundation: A Stable Base Design
Stability is paramount. The base of each vertical column is engineered with a wide footprint, often customizable, to prevent any risk of forward tipping. This design ensures that even when fully loaded to its maximum capacity, the rack remains steadfast and secure.

Beyond Standard: The Herochu Customization Promise

Your storage challenges are unique, and your solution should be too. While our standard models (like the HC-G6053S, HC-G9055D, etc.) offer excellent performance, our true strength lies in our ability to craft a system that fits your operation like a glove.

• Load Capacity: We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We work with you to determine the load per arm and per level, offering customization from 1 ton to a staggering 8 tons per single layer. This means you aren’t paying for over-engineering you don’t need, nor are you risking under-capacity.

• Dimensions & Scale: Whether you need to store 6-meter sheets or 12-meter structural beams, we can accommodate you. The rack height (up to 5m), the number of layers (6+1 standard, but customizable), and the arm length are all variables we adjust to your space and inventory.

• Integrated Pull-Out Systems & PLC Control: For the ultimate in efficiency and safety, we offer advanced options like integrated pull-out drawers and PLC frequency conversion control systems. This brings a semi-automated, “rack-and-pinion” style access to your most frequently used items, further reducing manual handling and retrieval time.

• Finish and Color: Even the aesthetic is in your hands. While we offer a standard, high-visibility Orange/Blue powder-coat finish for safety and durability, the color is fully customizable to match your facility’s branding or safety coding.

Transformative Applications Across Industries

The Herochu Cantilever Rack is more than a pipe rack; it’s a versatile storage platform for a multitude of long, bulky items.

• Metal Service Centers: Ideal for organizing and providing access to bar stock, tubing, pipe, angle iron, and channel.

• Construction & Lumber Yards: Perfect for storing dimensional lumber, rebar, PVC piping, and scaffolding components.

• Manufacturing & Fabrication: An essential tool for managing raw material inventory like rods, extrusions, and sheet metal, as well as work-in-progress like machined parts and mandrels.

• Aerospace & Automotive: Store composite materials, long aluminum sheets, and other specialized components in a clean, organized, and protected manner.

Your Investment in a Safer, More Profitable Operation

Choosing a Herochu system is an investment that pays daily dividends.

• Enhanced Safety: Eliminate the dangers of leaning stacks and cluttered floors. A properly loaded cantilever rack secures materials horizontally, drastically reducing the risk of workplace accidents and product damage.

• Dramatic Efficiency Gains: Reduce the time spent searching for and retrieving items by up to 70%. Your workers spend less time handling materials and more time on value-added tasks.

• Optimized Inventory Management: With a clear, organized system, inventory counts become quick and accurate. You gain immediate visual control over your stock levels, preventing both over-ordering and production-stopping shortages.

• Long-Term Durability: Built from premium steel and protected by a robust corrosion-resistant finish, a Herochu rack is not a short-term purchase. It is a permanent piece of your operational infrastructure, designed to deliver reliable performance for decades.
