Steel profile storage is an important link in industrial production, and different storage methods directly affect production efficiency, cost and safety. From the initial ground pile model to today’s advanced Electrically moving roll out cantilever racks, steel profile storage has undergone significant changes. Today I will discuss the changes of these storage methods and their advantages and disadvantages in detail, and introduce the advantages of Electrically moving roll out cantilever racks in modern steel profile storage.
the Origin and Dilemma of the Ground Pile Model
1. Simple and direct storage
In the early days of steel profile storage, the ground pile mode was a simple and direct storage method. The steel profile is piled on the open space at will, without the need for additional equipment and complex management. However, this approach also hides many problems.
2. Steel profile deformation and quality loss
When steel profile is stacked in the ground pile mode for a long time, it is easy to be affected by heavy pressure and environmental factors, resulting in deformation and quality loss. Especially in the case of open storage, natural conditions such as rain and sunlight will accelerate the oxidation and corrosion of steel profile, affecting the service life and performance.
3. Difficult to find and transport
In the ground pile mode, the search and handling of steel profile becomes extremely difficult. Workers need to find the required materials among mountains of steel profile, which is inefficient and prone to errors. At the same time, the steel profile stacking is unstable, increasing the safety risk in the handling process.
4. Low space utilization
Because of the disordered stacking of steel profile, it is difficult to effectively use the vertical space of the warehouse in the ground stacking mode, resulting in serious space waste. The warehouse looks full, but the actual storage capacity is far from being maximized.
Efficiency indicators of the ground reactor mode:
• Storage capacity: 47%
• Productivity: 22%
• Space utilization: 71%
the Initial Attempt of Self-Welding Storage Rack
1. Improve the storage environment
In order to deal with the problems caused by the ground pile model, some companies have begun to try to weld their own storage racks. By putting steel profile on the rack for classified storage, the storage environment is improved and the possibility of deformation and wear is reduced.
2. Improve search efficiency
The classification storage method of self-welding storage rack improves the searching efficiency of steel profile. Workers can find the steel profile they need faster, reducing unnecessary time wastage and increasing production efficiency.
3. Load-bearing capacity and stability problems
However, self-soldering storage racks also have their limitations. Due to the limitation of welding process and materials, the bearing capacity and stability of the storage rack are difficult to guarantee, and there are security risks. Especially when storing a large amount or large weight of steel profile, the rack is prone to deformation or collapse.
4. Space utilization is not high
Although the self-welding storage frame has improved some of the problems, its space utilization is still not high. Different specifications of steel profile require different storage space, self-welding storage rack is difficult to adjust flexibly, resulting in space waste.
5. Low manual operation efficiency
The self-welding storage rack still needs manual operation when accessing steel profile, which is inefficient. Manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also error-prone and difficult to meet the needs of modern production.
Efficiency index of self-welding storage rack:
• Storage capacity: 49%
• Efficiency: 35%
• Space utilization: 66%
the Rise of Motorized Roll Out Cantilever Racks

With the progress of science and technology and the development of industrial automation, the Motorized Roll Out Cantilever Racks have gradually become the mainstream choice for steel profile storage. This kind of rack uses high-strength materials and precision manufacturing process to ensure the load-bearing capacity and stability of the rack. Whether it is to store heavy steel profile or use it for a long time, the rack can maintain good performance and safety.
2. Flexible to meet storage requirements
The Roll Out Cantilever Rack can adjust the height and cantilever length according to actual needs, and flexibly adapt to different specifications and quantities of steel profile storage needs. This flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of production environments and different types of steel profile.
3. Automated access
The Roll Out Cantilever Rack with auxiliary equipment such as lifting can realize the automatic access and handling of steel profile, which greatly improves the work efficiency and safety. Automation reduces manual intervention and reduces operational risk.
Efficiency indicators of Motorized Roll Out Cantilever Racks:
• Storage capacity: 60%
• Productivity: 59%
• Space utilization: 72%
