Herochu Industrial Pipe Storage Racks – Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racks & Shelves
Customizable to your workshop, starting at $3,660
CE, UE, ISO 9001 certified
When floor space disappears beneath pallets of steel bar, metal tubing and PVC pipe, the only direction left is up. Herochu heavy-duty cantilever racks convert idle vertical height into organized, front-loading storage that keeps every length visible, reachable and safe. Designed for facilities that move tonnage instead of cartons, each rack begins with a hot-rolled I-beam spine, robotically welded and powder-coated to resist impact, moisture and weld spatter. Arms telescope outward like cantilevers on a bridge, creating unobstructed lanes for forklifts and overhead cranes while eliminating the diagonal bracing that slows retrieval in conventional shelving.
Single-sided units mount flush against a wall for narrow aisles; double-sided islands stand in the middle of the shop, doubling capacity without doubling footprint. Both configurations accept arms at 36, 48 or 60 inch centres, letting you match the brace panel spacing to the actual bundle lengths you stock. Arms are punched on three-inch increments, so tomorrow’s 20-foot drill pipe fits as cleanly as today’s 10-foot conduit. Rated at three metric tons per level, the system carries the full catalogue—galvanized sprinkler pipe, stainless bar stock, anodized aluminum tubing—without deflection or creep.
Material choice drives longevity. Herochu selects structural-grade steel for every column, base and arm, then adds a two-stage finish: zinc-rich primer followed by 80-micron polyester powder coat. The result is a surface that shrugs off forklift nicks, cutting-oil mist and galvanic corrosion for decades. Optional ESD grounding kits protect sensitive electronic components, while fold-down safety pins lock arms in place during seismic events or accidental impacts.
Storage density climbs in five pre-engineered tiers, yet the rack remains modular. Bolted connections allow sections to be added, removed or relocated without hot work. Should your product mix shift from 6.5 m to 12.5 m lengths, simply order longer arms and brace sets; the original frames stay in service. That scalability is why aerospace machine shops, municipal waterworks depots and oilfield supply houses all specify Herochu when they need to expand without interrupting production.
Installation follows a proven sequence: anchor the bases, plumb the columns, snap in the arms and drop the first load. Mobile conversion kits transform static rows into rolling aisles when seasonal demand peaks. For lights-out operations, integrated automated retrieval modules index arms to a preset height, allowing robotic gantries to deposit and retrieve bundles without human guidance.
Certification matters in global supply chains. Every Herochu cantilever rack leaves our plant with CE machinery directive compliance, UE structural steel certification and ISO 9001 quality management validation. Documentation travels with the shipment, eliminating customs delays and shortening commissioning schedules.
Lead times for specialty steel pipe can stretch for months. By installing extra-heavy-duty cantilever capacity now, you create space to accept consignment inventory from primary mills. More material on hand means shorter fabrication cycles, better pricing leverage and the ability to quote rush jobs your competitors must decline. Freeing floor space also improves traffic flow, reduces product damage and raises safety scores during insurance audits.
Color and size are never afterthoughts. Specify any RAL hue to match corporate branding or safety zoning. Length, height and arm profile are cut to order, so a rack that fits a 60-foot ceiling in Houston can be re-engineered for a 20-foot mezzanine in Hamburg. Optional accessories—pipe cradles, fork-entry bars, load labels with RFID tags—turn a basic rack into a complete warehouse solution.
Starting at $3,660, a Herochu industrial pipe storage rack is not an expense; it is a capital investment that monetizes vertical real estate, accelerates material flow and safeguards your most valuable inventory.
