Compatibile con Gru a Ponte: Stoccaggio a Caricamento dall'Alto

Double sided telescopic cantilever rack extended for stainless steel tube storage

For manufacturers producing high-purity stainless steel tubes (ASME BPE standards) or precision bar stock, a single scratch from a forklift tine can turn a premium product into scrap metal. Stop compromising your surface finish (Ra) integrity with outdated side-loading methods. Switch to a system designed for l'accesso con carroponte, ensuring zero-contact handling for your sensitive inventory.

The Hidden Cost of “Side-Loading” High-Value Metals

In the world of sanitary stainless steel components—like those used in dairy, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor industries—surface finish is everything. You are likely aiming for specific roughness averages (Ra), potentially as fine as 10-15 µin.

The traditional method of storing these 20-foot heavy tube bundles involves static cantilever racks and forklifts. This creates two critical problems for your operation:

1. The “Digging” Damage: To access a specific heat number or alloy buried in the back, the forklift driver has to perform “secondary handling”—shuffling front bundles to get to the rear. Every move increases the risk of metal-on-metal friction, dents, and surface contamination.
2. Aisle Waste: To maneuver a 20-foot bundle of tubing, your forklift needs massive 15-foot aisles. That is expensive manufacturing floor space being used effectively as a driveway.

This is where the Scaffalatura a Sbalzo Telescopica changes the game. By allowing the storage arms to extend 100% out into the aisle, we eliminate the need for the forklift to drive *into* the rack. Instead, you load from the top.

Electric roll-out units allow heavy tube bundles to be accessed directly from above.

Zero-Contact Handling: The Crane Advantage

When you are dealing with high-purity stainless steel tubes or polished rods, the goal is to touch the product as little as possible.

Our **roll-out cantilever** system is engineered specifically to be **overhead crane accessible racking**.
Here is the operational logic:
1. The operator selects the specific level containing the required tubing.
2. Using a manual crank or electric remote, the arm extends fully (100% extension).
3. Your overhead crane, equipped with nylon slings or a vacuum lifter, lowers directly over the material.
4. The load is lifted vertically.

There is no dragging. No pushing. No steel forks scraping against polished surfaces. This “Top Loading” capability ensures that the sanitary fittings and tubes you manufactured to strict ASME BPE standards leave the warehouse in the exact same condition they left the production line.

Engineered for Heavy Loads and Precision

Whether you are storing heavy wall pipe or delicate sanitary tubing, stability is non-negotiable. These racks are not light-duty retail shelves; they are industrial infrastructure.

* Struttura: Built from heavy-duty structural steel profiles (not thin roll-formed gauge steel), ensuring rigidity even when fully extended.
* Capacità: Standard models handle up to 6,600 Lbs (3,000 kg) per arm level.
* Protection: For high-purity applications, we can equip the cantilever arms with UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) liners to prevent carbon contamination from the carbon steel rack to your stainless steel product.

Poiché la scaffalatura viene caricata dall'alto tramite carroponte, puoi ridurre la larghezza della corsia da 12-14 piedi standard (richiesti per il raggio di sterzata di un carrello elevatore per carichi lunghi) a soli 6-7 piedi (sufficienti per una persona che aziona la manovella). In un magazzino di 10.000 piedi quadrati, questo può recuperare 5.000 piedi quadrati per nuovi laser cutter o inventario aggiuntivo.

Reclaiming Your Production Floor

Space in a metal fabrication shop or steel service center is a premium asset. If you are planning to add a new laser cutting machine or expand your welding stations, you don’t necessarily need a building expansion—you just need to densify your storage.

By switching to a Il sistema elettrico telecomandato offre la massima velocità per operazioni ad alta frequenza. system, you eliminate the wide forklift turning radius requirements. The crane operates above the racks. This typically results in a **50% reduction in floor space usage**.

Electric Control for High-Frequency Picking

For facilities with high throughput—such as those feeding automated saws or laser cutters hourly—manual cranking might be too slow.

We offer fully motorized options. A scaffalatura a sbalzo telescopica with electric drive allows the operator to extend heavy drawers with a handheld remote. This improves cycle times and reduces operator fatigue, essential for maintaining peak efficiency during long shifts.

FAQ: Metal Storage & Handling Solutions

Q1: We store polished stainless steel. Will the steel arms scratch our tubes?
A: We recommend adding UHMW (plastic) or rubber liners to the cantilever arms. This isolates your stainless steel from the carbon steel rack, preventing both scratching and galvanic corrosion/carbon contamination.

Q2: Can this system handle heavy wall pipe bundles exceeding 5,000 lbs?
A: Yes. The costruzione in acciaio pesante construction is designed specifically for these loads. We can engineer the base and arms to support loads up to 10,000 lbs per drawer if required.

Q3: Do we need a special foundation for installation?
A: Standard 6-inch reinforced industrial concrete floors are usually sufficient, but because the load is concentrated, we calculate the ground pressure based on your specific load requirements. The racks are anchored using heavy-duty expansion bolts.

Q4: How does this improve inventory tracking for different heat numbers?
A: Unlike stacking bundles on top of each other on the floor, each level in our rack is independent. You can assign a specific drawer to a specific heat number or batch, ensuring 100% traceability and First-In-First-Out (FIFO) access without shuffling stock.

Q5: Can we use a vacuum lifter with this rack?
A: Absolutely. Because the arm extends 100% clear of the structure above it, there is ample vertical clearance to lower a vacuum lifter directly onto the tube or sheet surface.
