Herochu Cantilever Racking Solutions | Top Storage Rack Supplier
Price tag begins at USD 3 660, yet the true number that matters is the one on your lease agreement—because every cubic foot you fail to use still appears on the monthly invoice. Herochu cantilever racks convert the empty air above your pipes, profiles, boards and bars into orderly, revenue-producing storage. Each bay ships CE, EU and ISO 9001 certified, so compliance officers sign the folder before the forklift driver finishes his coffee.
Stop designing the warehouse around the pallet
Pallets were invented for boxes, not for six-metre copper tubing or 200 kg press-brake die sets. When long goods sit on modified pallet beams they overhang, block aisles and create side-loading stress that twists uprights. Herochu cantilever racks delete that compromise. Arms project clear of the column, giving full face access to the load. Forks, magnets, vacuum pads or slings approach from the front, deposit the bundle and withdraw—no turn, no twist, no second operator guiding the tail.
Built for the load, not for the brochure
All calculations are performed in accordance with EN 1993-1-1 and FEM 10.2.09. Column sections range from 180 × 90 mm for 500 kg arms to 420 × 210 mm for 8 t arms. Base plates are flame-cut from 20 mm plate, welded to the column with full-penetration joints, then planed flat to within 0.5 mm so the rack stands plumb on an unprepared concrete floor. Arm profiles are cold-formed from 6 mm to 12 mm depending on rated capacity; each arm is stitch-welded top and bottom with continuous fillet along the throat. Safety factor at ultimate limit state: 1.65. Deflection limit: L/450 under rated load. Translation: a 1 500 mm arm carrying 3 t will sag less than 3.3 mm—low enough to keep stacked sheets from jamming during withdrawal.
Single-sided, double-sided, or on rails
Single-sided units line perimeter walls and free up central floor area. Double-sided units create 100 % more storage length for only 18 % more steel, so the cost per stored metre drops sharply. Mobile bases mounted on recessed rails compact the entire block—open the aisle you need, close the rest. A 30 m run of double-sided mobile cantilever racks delivers 240 m of linear loading length in 105 m² of footprint, releasing the remaining 435 m² for value-adding processes.
Arms that adapt faster than your product mix
Arms adjust on 100 mm pitch. Need to store 75 × 75 mm angle today and 400 mm deep sheet packs tomorrow? Pull the hair-pin clip, slide the arm, re-insert the clip—thirty seconds, no tools. Optional arm end-stops flip down to retain tapered loads; pipe wedges bolt on to cradle circular bundles; timber decking clips transform the arm into a flat shelf for random off-cuts. When the next contract arrives, re-configure again instead of buying new racks.
Roof or no roof—your climate, your call
Outdoor storage yards suffer UV, rain and windborne grit. Herochu supplies hot-dip-galvanised finish (75 µm zinc) plus a choice of roof systems: single-skin corrugated sheeting, insulated sandwich panels, or tensile membrane. Gutter and down-pipe keep the aisle dry; optional side cladding creates a three-sided canopy that cuts solar gain by 35 %. Result: stored bundles stay clean, eliminating the wipe-down operation before machining.
From sketch to stamped drawing in 48 hours
Send a hand-drawn sketch, a photo of the current pile, or a full CAD file. Our engineers return a plan view, elevation, load table and anchor layout within two business days. Each drawing is signed off by a chartered structural engineer registered in the EU; the seal is accepted by building insurers and municipal permit offices across North America, the GCC and ASEAN regions.
Installation without production holidays
Frames arrive fully welded; arms and bracing are knocked-down in steel stillages. A two-bay, 6 m high, double-sided system can be erected and anchored by two technicians in six hours using only a 13 mm socket wrench and a 3 m step ladder. Load tests are performed with certified water bags; results are logged and handed to the safety manager before the crane is released for normal duty.
Accessories that turn a rack into a process tool
Bolt-on mesh decks catch loose cut-outs. Retractable nylon straps secure seismic zones. Magnetic labels accept dry-wipe marker for heat numbers. Laser pointers project a red line across the arm to confirm the correct slot—no more climbing to read handwritten tags. All accessories retrofit to existing Herochu arms without drilling or welding.
Spare parts for the life of the building
We keep replacement arms, columns, bracing and hardware in regional hubs at Houston, Duisburg and Dubai. Order before 14:00 local time and parts ship the same day. Every component built since 2005 still interchanges with today’s stock; we retire a part number only when the last installed rack reaches its 25-year design life.
Real numbers from a real yard
A Norwegian steel distributor replaced block stacking with 112 m of Herochu double-sided mobile cantilever racks. Floor space recovered: 1 100 m². Retrieval time per bundle: down from 18 min to 3 min. Annual labour saving: 2 800 man-hours. Damage-related claims: reduced by 1.1 %. Payback period: 11 months, verified by an independent Big-Four audit.
Start the conversation
Email the longest profile you store, the heaviest bundle weight and the clear ceiling height. You will receive a dimensional sketch, a load table, an anchor plan and a fixed price CIP your dock. Stop renting cubic metres of fresh air; install Herochu cantilever racking solutions and make your roof work for its living.
