Herochu Vertical Bar Racks Industrial Storage Systems
Stand it up, lock it down, reclaim the floor—starting at $3,099, CE/UE/ISO 9001 certified, and cut to the exact height your roof allows.
Horizontal bundles turn forklift aisles into slalom courses. One sharp brake and a ton of bar stock rolls, taking guard rails, sprinkler heads, and ankles with it. Herochu Vertical Bar Racks Industrial Storage Systems end the demolition derby by parking every round, square, or flat bar on its own rubber-cradled foot—upright, visible, and reachable in the time it takes to read this sentence.
Gravity Does the Work, You Take the Credit
Stand a 6 m stainless shaft on its end and only 100 mm of floor disappears. Lay the same shaft down and you lose 12 m² plus the access lane. Herochu towers exploit height that most warehouses already pay rent on but never use. A single 3 m wide bay stores 22 tons of bar, tube, or extrusion while the forklift drives past without slowing. One operator, one remote, zero spotters—productivity climbs, labor hours fall, and the safety officer finally posts a green metric on the board.
Modular Spine, Snap-In Cradles
Uprights start at 2 m and climb in 500 mm increments until they kiss the rafters at 12 m. Each spine is a 200×100 mm closed box, 6 mm wall, punched on 100 mm centres so cradles relocate without drilling. Slide in a cradle, drop the safety pin, and the arm is rated for 2 t in thirty seconds. Need to switch from 50 mm round bar to 300 mm wide flat? Swap the cradle, don’t buy a new rack. The steel you bolt together today accepts tomorrow’s product mix—no welder, no cutting disc, no capital request.
Rubber Meets Steel—Damage Dies Here
Cradles are laser-cut from 8 mm plate, folded to a 110° vee, then over-moulded with 5 mm oil-resistant nitrile rubber. Hard enough to support 42 CrMo drill rod, soft enough to keep polished 316 round bar mirror-bright. Divider fingers every 150 mm keep bars separate so carbon dust doesn’t migrate to stainless, and the vee angle self-centres stock within 2 mm—handy when the saw wants an exact feed line.
Base Plates That Grip Concrete, Not Dreams
A 3 t cradle 4 m in the air generates serious overturning moment. Herochu bases are 800 mm deep, 12 mm plate, gusseted both sides and pre-slotted for M20 chemical anchors. Installers torque anchors to 180 Nm, lock the nut, and the rack is certified for seismic Zone 4 without rear bracing—leaving the front open for forklift approach. Should you relocate, grind the anchors, patch the holes, and bolt the same rack down in the next bay. Reuse beats recycle every time.
Vertical Doesn’t Mean Wobbly
Every bay ships with bolt-on sway braces and a top tie-bar. Tighten four bolts and the structure becomes a torsion box; bump one cradle and nothing shimmies. A Pennsylvania tool-and-die shop hit a tower with an 8 t load at 5 km/h—cradle absorbed the impact, upright stayed plumb, bars never touched the floor. Insurance inspector wrote “best practice” in the report instead of the usual fine.
Weight Stack That Scales With Your Appetite
Start with three cradles and 6 t of capacity. Land a new contract for 2205 duplex bar? Add four more cradles at 2 t each and the same tower now holds 20 t—no additional footings, no extra concrete. Load labels are laser-etched into each arm, so even after ten years of repaint the rating remains legible. Forget the laminated tag that peels; Herochu speaks in steel.
Colour That Cuts Chaos
Orange cradles for carbon steel, blue for stainless, grey for aluminium—visual factory rules baked into the powder coat. End-stops accept barcode holders or RFID pucks, so the scanner knows cradle 3-B contains 316 L, 50 mm, 3 m lengths, 18 pieces left. One beep updates ERP, triggers reorder, and emails the purchaser before the bar hits the saw infeed.
Outdoor Brain, Indoor Brawn
UV-stable polyester survives Arizona summers; optional roof panel kit clips to the top beam and turns any tower into a mini canopy for less than the cost of a tarp that flaps. Ventilated cradles keep condensation from pooling, so 17-4 PH round bar doesn’t surprise you with surface rust Monday morning. Galvanised finish pushes corrosion resistance to 2,400 h salt-spray if you store near the ocean; we galvanise after fabrication so threads still fit and pins still slide.
Assembly Without the Three-Ring Circus
Uprights arrive pre-punched, cradles labelled left-to-right, and bolts bagged by step number. Two fitters, two 19 mm wrenches, and 60 minutes erect a 4 m double-sided bay—no boom lift, no certified welder, no hot-work permit. A QR code on the mast links to a 2-minute video shot in one take so second shift can add a level while first shift clocks out. Lost a pin? Standard M20 grade 8.8 hardware sits on every hardware-store shelf.
Lead Times Measured in Days, Not Quarters
Cradles are plasma-cut within 24 h of order; uprights are welded, shot-blasted, and powder-coated by day three. A six-bay row leaves the plant in 8 business days; custom height or hot-dip finish adds four. Miss the promised dock date and we credit the expedite fee—no asterisks, no haggling.
Sustainability Welded In, Not Bolted On
Steel averages 72 % recycled content, powder line runs on rooftop solar, and returnable steel frames replace timber crating. When product mix changes, unbolt and reuse 98 % of components; only the anchors stay in the concrete. Your ESG slide gets a bullet point, landfill gets nothing, and finance doesn’t have to depreciate scrap.
Talk to Someone Who Has Loaded Bar at 5 a.m. in January
Dial 1-800-HEROCHU and you reach a former yard foreman, not a script. Email a napkin sketch; we return a stamped drawing and anchor layout overnight. Need a load test? We’ll video 2.5× proof and send the MTRs with the invoice. Your inspector signs off before the truck backs in.
Ready to Give Every Bar a Seat Belt?
Measure the longest length, the heaviest bundle, and the roof you can’t hit. Punch those three numbers into the Build-My-Rack widget and watch a live quote populate—freight included, taxes optional, payback curve attached. Or call the number, ask for vertical, and speak to someone who knows why 316 round bar always rolls the wrong way.
