New Design Heavy-Duty Telescopic Cantilever Rack – The Ultimate Solution for Steel Pipe Roll Storage

The storage of steel pipes—especially in rolled or bundled form—poses unique logistical hurdles. Pipes are heavy, cylindrical, and prone to rolling, making them difficult to stack securely. Ground storage leads to damage, rust, and inefficient space use. Enter the New Design Heavy-Duty Telescopic Cantilever Rack, a next-generation storage system engineered specifically for steel pipe roll storage in industrial settings.

Design Breakthrough: Telescopic Arms for Maximum Accessibility

Unlike fixed-arm cantilever racks, this new design features telescopic arms that extend horizontally up to several meters beyond the rack column. This allows operators to fully expose stored pipe rolls for inspection, labeling, or retrieval—without needing to unload adjacent items. The arms glide smoothly on high-precision ball bearing guide rails, ensuring effortless movement even under full load.

Each arm is equipped with foot rolling protection devices that prevent unintended retraction or tipping during handling. Optional sheet support cradles or V-shaped pipe saddles can be added to secure round or flat materials in place, minimizing surface damage and slippage.

Robust Construction for Industrial Demands

Built from thickened high-strength carbon steel, the rack’s columns and arms undergo rigorous welding using advanced techniques to ensure structural integrity under dynamic loads. A powder-coated surface treatment provides long-term resistance against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion—critical in outdoor yards or humid indoor environments.

Standard configurations support 5 tons per layer, with custom builds capable of handling up to 100,000 kg per shelf. Layer options include 3, 4, or 5 tiers, with arm lengths of 6m, 9m, or 12m to accommodate various pipe diameters and bundle sizes.

Operational Advantages

• Full Front Access: Telescopic arms bring stored pipes directly to the operator, eliminating blind spots.
• Faster Inventory Turnover: No need to rearrange adjacent loads during retrieval.
• Safer Handling: Reduced manual lifting and minimized risk of pipe roll collapse.
• Compatibility: Works seamlessly with overhead cranes, forklifts, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Ideal for Pipe Manufacturers and Distributors

This system is particularly valuable for companies dealing with:

• Seamless and welded steel pipes
• Oil & gas pipeline segments
• Structural hollow sections (SHS)
• Stainless steel tubing

By organizing inventory vertically and enabling rapid access, businesses can reduce handling time by up to 40% while improving FIFO (First-In, First-Out) compliance.
