Sheet Metal & Pipe Storage Racks Manufacturer

Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking – The Ultimate Industrial Solution for Long Material Storage

In modern industrial environments—be it steel fabrication plants, pipe distribution centers, or metal service warehouses—efficient storage of long, heavy materials like bars, tubes, and structural sections is not just a convenience; it’s a necessity. Traditional pallet racking systems often fall short when handling irregularly shaped or extra-long inventory. That’s where Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking emerges as the definitive answer.

Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking – The Ultimate Industrial Solution for Long Material Storage

In modern industrial environments—be it steel fabrication plants, pipe distribution centers, or metal service warehouses—efficient storage of long, heavy materials like bars, tubes, and structural sections is not just a convenience; it’s a necessity. Traditional pallet racking systems often fall short when handling irregularly shaped or extra-long inventory. That’s where Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking emerges as the definitive answer.
Designed specifically for high-capacity, space-efficient storage of linear stock, this advanced racking system combines mechanical simplicity with industrial-grade durability. Unlike standard shelving, which requires wide aisles for forklift access, the Crank-Out Cantilever Rack allows materials to be handled directly by overhead cranes. This eliminates the need for excessive floor clearance, significantly reducing warehouse footprint while maximizing vertical storage potential.

Structural Integrity Meets Operational Efficiency

Each layer of the Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking supports up to 5,000 kg (approximately 11,000 lbs), with total rack capacities reaching 27 tons in customized double-unit configurations. Constructed from high-strength carbon steel and featuring thickened columns and precision-welded joints, the system ensures long-term reliability even under continuous heavy use. The arms—available in lengths from 550mm to 800mm—are fully extendable, offering 100% access to stored materials without obstruction.
This full extension capability is critical for crane operators. Instead of maneuvering awkwardly around fixed shelves, they can lift pipes or bars directly from the extended arm, streamlining loading and unloading processes. Moreover, the inclusion of a manual lock mechanism prevents multiple levels from being extended simultaneously—a vital safety feature that minimizes workplace accidents.

Space Optimization Without Compromise

One of the standout advantages of this system is its space-saving design. Because materials are loaded and retrieved vertically via crane, aisle widths can be minimized. In facilities where every square foot counts, this translates into up to 40% more usable storage area compared to conventional racking. Additionally, the system supports up to 8 vertical levels, utilizing warehouse height efficiently—often up to 20 feet—without requiring complex automation.
Customization is another key strength. Whether you need a single-sided unit for wall-mounted installation or a double-sided configuration for central aisle placement, dimensions can be tailored to your exact requirements. Standard arm lengths, layer spacing (600mm or 800mm), and rack heights are all adjustable. Even color—typically offered in high-visibility orange or blue—can be specified to match facility safety standards.

Enhanced Safety and Organization

Poorly stored long materials pose significant risks: tripping hazards, falling loads, and manual handling injuries. The Crank-Out system mitigates these dangers by providing organized, categorized storage. Pipes of different diameters or lengths can be segregated by layer, and optional trays for offcuts or leftovers ensure nothing is lost or misplaced. This level of organization not only improves safety but also accelerates inventory audits and order fulfillment.
Furthermore, the sliding mechanism, guided by high-precision ball bearings, ensures smooth, low-effort operation. A single worker can extend or retract any level using a simple hand crank—no hydraulics, no electricity required (though electric drive options are available). This manual operability reduces dependency on powered equipment and lowers maintenance costs.

Ideal for Diverse Industries

From oil & gas pipe yards to construction rebar depots and aluminum extrusion warehouses, the Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking system proves versatile. It accommodates materials ranging from 6-meter to 12-meter lengths, with custom solutions extending beyond. Whether storing steel pipes, PVC conduits, timber beams, or metal bars, this racking system delivers consistent performance.
In conclusion, if your operation involves frequent handling of long, heavy stock, investing in a Heavy-Duty Crank-Out Cantilever Racking system isn’t just smart—it’s transformative. It boosts productivity, enhances safety, optimizes space, and scales with your business. For industries where time, space, and safety are non-negotiable, this is the gold standard in long-material storage.
