Maximize Storage & Streamline Workflow with Sheet Metal Racks

Crank-Out Heavy-Duty Cantilever Rack​

Customizable to your workshop, starting at $3,099 | CE, UE, ISO 9001 Certified

​

Walk into a warehouse storing long steel materials—beams, pipes, 12m-long rods—and you’ll likely face the same frustration: standard cantilever racks force you to choose between “dense storage” and “easy access.” Stack too many pipes, and you’ll spend hours moving layers to reach the one you need. Leave space for access, and you waste half your floor area. Herochu’s Crank-Out Heavy-Duty Cantilever Rack eliminates this tradeoff. Built for long, heavy materials (from 6m steel beams to 12m pipes), this rack combines sliding crank-out trays, industrial-grade strength, and PLC-controlled precision to keep your inventory dense, accessible, and safe—all while cutting material handling time by up to 50%.​

Forget the limitations of standard cantilever systems. Herochu’s crank-out design adds a game-changing layer: pull-out trays that glide smoothly on reinforced rails, letting you access any material in seconds without shifting others. Whether you’re a steel fabrication shop storing 6m beams or an oil & gas supplier managing 12m pipes, this rack turns chaotic long-material storage into a streamlined process.​

Meet the Herochu Crank-Out Cantilever Rack Lineup: Built for Long Materials​

Herochu’s standard crank-out racks are engineered to handle the most common long-material needs—from 6m sheets to 12m pipes—with capacities ranging from 8 tons to 42 tons per rack. Each model is designed with a focus on density, safety, and ease of use, with PLC frequency conversion control that ensures smooth, consistent tray movement (no more jerky manual cranking). Let’s break down the key specs of our four standard models:​

​

​

What do these numbers mean for your warehouse? Let’s take the HC-G9055D—our workhorse for 12m pipes. With a 6-ton per-layer capacity, it can safely hold thick-walled steel pipes (100mm diameter, 12m long) that weigh 5.5 tons each—no bending, no sagging. The double-tray design lets you store two sets of pipes side by side, doubling your storage density without widening the rack. And the 800mm distance between layers? It’s perfect for tall pipes—you won’t have to squeeze materials into too-tight spaces or waste height on unnecessary gaps.​

Even our smallest model, the HC-G6053S, punches above its weight. Designed for 6m sheets or beams, it handles 2 tons per layer (enough for 6m x 1m steel sheets 30mm thick) and fits in tight spaces—its compact footprint makes it ideal for small workshops that need dense storage without expanding. All standard models come in orange or blue (with custom colors available) and include rails on each tray to prevent materials from sliding off during retrieval—critical for round pipes or smooth steel beams.​

Beyond Standard: Fully Customizable for Your Long-Material Needs​

Not every warehouse stores the same long materials. Maybe you need a rack for 8m aluminum extrusions (shorter than our 9m HC-G9055S) or a model with a 7-ton per-layer capacity (heavier than our 6-ton HC-G9055D). Or perhaps you work with irregularly shaped materials—like angled steel or channel beams—that need custom tray depths. Herochu’s crank-out cantilever racks are fully customizable, so you never have to force your inventory to fit a generic solution.​

How Our Custom Process Works​

1. Share Your Material Details: Tell us what you’re storing (e.g., 8m angled steel, 10m copper pipes), its weight per piece (e.g., 3 tons, 8 tons), and how you access it (e.g., forklift, crane, manual pick).​

2. We Design to Fit: Our engineers will tweak every detail to match your needs. For example, if you need a rack for 8m materials, we’ll adjust the HC-G9055S’s length from 9000mm to 8000mm and keep the 5-ton per-layer capacity. If you need deeper trays for channel beams, we’ll extend the Am length from 800mm to 1000mm.​

3. Test and Approve: Every custom rack is load-tested at 120% of its rated capacity (e.g., a 5-ton layer is tested with 6 tons) and certified to meet CE, UE, and ISO 9001 standards. You’ll get a 3D render and full spec sheet to sign off on before we start manufacturing.​

Popular Custom Add-Ons​

• Adjustable Tray Depth: Need to switch between 6m sheets and 12m pipes? Add adjustable Am lengths (from 550mm to 1200mm) so you can reconfigure the rack as your inventory changes.​

• Motorized Crank Upgrade: For heavy materials (5+ tons per layer), upgrade from manual crank to fully motorized trays—control movement via a touchscreen PLC panel, no physical effort required.​

• Anti-Corrosion Coating: If you’re storing materials in damp environments (e.g., outdoor warehouses, marine facilities), add a zinc-plated coating to prevent rust and extend the rack’s lifespan.​

• Inventory Tracking: Integrate RFID tags or barcode scanners into each tray to track which materials are stored where—perfect for large warehouses with hundreds of long items.​

Why Herochu’s Crank-Out Cantilever Rack Beats Standard Storage​

Standard cantilever racks and floor stacking might seem cheaper upfront, but they cost you time, space, and money in the long run. Herochu’s crank-out design solves the three biggest pain points of long-material storage:​

1. Dense Storage That Saves 50% of Floor Space​

The biggest advantage of crank-out trays is their ability to eliminate wasted aisle space. With standard cantilever racks, you need 1.5–2x the tray depth for aisles (e.g., an 800mm deep tray needs a 1200mm aisle). Herochu’s crank-out trays let you keep aisles as narrow as the tray depth (800mm aisle for 800mm trays) because you pull the tray out into the aisle—no need for extra space to reach behind.​

Take a 30x40ft warehouse section:​

• Standard Cantilever Racks: Store 12 sets of 12m pipes (4 racks, 3 layers each) with 1200mm aisles.​

• Herochu Crank-Out Racks: Store 24 sets of 12m pipes (4 racks, 3 layers, double trays) with 800mm aisles.​

That’s double the storage in the same space—no need to rent extra warehouse space or rearrange your workflow.​

2. Easy Access That Cuts Handling Time by 40%​

Retrieving a single 12m pipe from the back of a standard cantilever rack can take 15–20 minutes: you have to move the front pipes, slide out the back one, then re-stack the front ones. With Herochu’s crank-out trays, it takes 2 minutes: crank the tray out (or press a button for motorized models), grab the pipe, and push the tray back.​

This isn’t just a time saver—it reduces worker fatigue. Lifting and moving heavy pipes 10 times a day leads to strains and injuries; Herochu’s design cuts that to 1–2 moves per retrieval, keeping your team safe and productive.​

3. Industrial-Grade Safety That Meets Global Standards​

Long, heavy materials are a top safety risk in warehouses—pipes rolling off racks, beams shifting during retrieval, or racks collapsing under excess weight. Herochu’s crank-out racks eliminate these risks with:​

• Reinforced Steel Frames: We use 6-gauge carbon steel for the main frame (thicker than the 8-gauge steel in standard racks) and 8-gauge steel for trays—materials that resist bending even under 6-ton loads.​

• Rail Guards: Every tray has raised steel rails on three sides to keep materials from sliding off, even when the tray is fully extended.​

• PLC Safety Locks: The PLC system locks trays in place when they’re fully extended or retracted, preventing accidental movement during loading/unloading.​

All racks meet OSHA standards for material storage and are certified CE, UE, and ISO 9001—so you can trust them to keep your team and inventory safe.​

Real-World Results: How Warehouses Use Herochu’s Crank-Out Racks​

“We supply 6m copper pipes to HVAC companies. Standard racks wasted so much space—we had to rent a second warehouse just for pipes. Herochu’s HC-G6053D let us consolidate into one warehouse: the double trays let us store 2x more pipes, and the PLC control means our team can retrieve pipes without forklifts. The custom blue color even matches our brand! It’s been 3 years, and the racks still look new—no rust, no stuck trays.”​

— Sarah K., Owner of PipeMaster Supply, Ontario​

“We needed a custom rack for 8m angled steel (not a standard length). Herochu adjusted the HC-G9055S to 8000mm, added deeper trays, and even put our logo on the frame. The rack handles 4 tons per layer—perfect for our angled steel—and the motorized trays mean we don’t need a crane to access materials. It’s exactly what we needed.”​

— Raj Patel, Operations Director at SteelAngle Inc., Texas​
