Vertical pipe Storage Rack

If you still keep 6-metre pipes, 20-foot rebar or 8-ton mandrels flat on the floor, you already know the hidden cost: one forklift, two slings, three operators and half an hour just to reach the bottom layer. Herochu’s motor-driven Vertical Pipe Storage Rack erases that waste in a single shift. One operator, one remote, 90 seconds to pick the exact length—no matter if it is buried three levels deep. CE, UE and ISO 9001 certified, each starter bay begins at 3 099 USD and ships in knock-down modules so you can bolt-on extra arms next quarter without dismantling the rack you already paid for.

Herochu Vertical Pipe Storage Rack – 3,099 USD
Turn your longest, heaviest stock into the fastest-moving inventory you own.
If you still keep 6-metre pipes, 20-foot rebar or 8-ton mandrels flat on the floor, you already know the hidden cost: one forklift, two slings, three operators and half an hour just to reach the bottom layer. Herochu’s motor-driven Vertical Pipe Storage Rack erases that waste in a single shift. One operator, one remote, 90 seconds to pick the exact length—no matter if it is buried three levels deep. CE, UE and ISO 9001 certified, each starter bay begins at 3 099 USD and ships in knock-down modules so you can bolt-on extra arms next quarter without dismantling the rack you already paid for.
Why vertical, why now?
Floor space in European and North-American job-shops now averages 6–8 €/ft²/year. Storing 10 tonnes of tube on the ground eats roughly 240 ft²—1 920 € every twelve months for “air”. By standing the load on its end and indexing it automatically, Herochu reduces the footprint to 38 ft² and returns the rest to productive value. Users report 28 % lower forklift hours and a full ROI inside eleven months even before counting the safety savings.
Engineering you can audit
The mast is a single-piece, hot-rolled H-beam (S355JR) milled on five faces so the carriage travels without lateral play. Arms are not welded to the mast; they bolt through 30 mm Grade-10.9 hardware, which means you can reposition or replace an individual arm in under five minutes—no hot-work permit, no repaint line. Every arm is pre-stressed with 2 000 h of shot-peening to exceed DIN 15018 H2 fatigue class. The result: a 220 mm-throat arm rated at 8 t per layer yet only 63 kg dead-weight, a ratio competitors reach only with welded fabrication that cannot be adjusted.
Roll-out carriage = zero manual reach
Instead of sliding on plastic pads that swell in summer heat, the carriage runs on sealed, double-row tapered rollers (INA 32008-X) mounted inside the arm. A 0.75 kW SEW frequency-controlled motor drives a 24CrMo4 pinion along a induction-hardened rack (modulus 8). Smooth enough to move 6 t of stainless tube at 12 m/min with <70 dB—quieter than the forklift idle. Limit switches are Sick RSS36; repeatability ±0.5 mm, so your CNC bar-feeder can pick the next blank without re-probing.
Safety redundancy you can bet your insurance on
  1. 24 V control circuit isolated from mains.
  2. Emergency-stop palm buttons on both A- and B-posts plus wireless remote.
  3. Motor brake + mechanical ratchet pawl; either one can hold 150 % rated load.
  4. Photocell curtain across the loading window—forklift forks break the beam, all motion stops.
  5. Full-height mesh back-stop rated for 5 kN lateral impact; bolt-on panels let you add anti-collapse netting in minutes.
Single or double, starter or monster—choose once, scale forever
Starter bay (left-hand) includes one mast, three arms, base frame, motor pack and control cubicle. Extension bays (right-hand) share the same bus-bar, so you pay only for steel, not duplicate electrics. Need 12 m lengths next year? Unbolt the top cap, splice in a 3 m extension mast, recalibrate the travel limit—done in an afternoon.
Standard models ship in 21 days; custom paint, arm length or loading slot height add 7–10 days. Every rack leaves our Shandong plant with a 1.5× overload test and laser-verified straightness report in the document pouch.
Real footage, real numbers
• Kloeckner Metals, Bremen: 42 bays, 1 050 t of structural tube, 38 % floor-space saved, 1 100 forklift hours eliminated annually.
• Jansen Furniture Profiles, Eindhoven: 28 bays double-sided, 880 m of hardwood mouldings picked by one operator, picking error down from 3 % to zero.
• Siderperú Callao port: salt-spray environment, 100 % hot-dip-galv option, still inside 0.2 mm deflection after 26 months.
Accessorise for the last 5 % of efficiency
• LED strip under each arm—bar code scanner reads stickers without handheld torch.
• Magnetic tag holder—swap job cards in seconds, no cable ties.
• Hydraulic lift table dock—feed the rack from ground level, no forklift during night shift.
• RFID antenna kit—log every pull into your ERP automatically.
Sustainability baked in
Steel is 30 % recycled content, powder-coated with TGIC-free polyester, overspray reclaimed to 98 %. Motors meet IE3 efficiency; gearboxes sealed for life, oil change interval 20 000 h. At end-of-life every component is bolted, not welded—100 % recyclable.
