While the primary function of the Teleskop-Kragarmregal is to store heavy, long bundles of bar stock and tubing, its true versatility shines through its accessories. In a busy fabrication environment, managing short cut-offs, small remnants, and diverse material sizes on the same rack is essential. This article explores how specialized components—from dividers to containment baskets—transform each drawer into a multi-functional storage unit, preventing clutter and ensuring every piece of material, no matter the size, is accounted for. |
Managing the Mess: The Value of Adjustable Dividers
In high-mix environments, even a perfectly organized full bundle is eventually reduced to smaller remnants. Throwing these short pieces back into the full-length drawer causes immediate disorganization, mixing alloys and leading to wasted search time.
Precision Segmentation for Small Batches
Adjustable dividers are simple, yet powerful accessories that attach securely along the length of the cantilever arm. They allow the operator to segment a single drawer into multiple defined storage lanes. This means a single drawer can efficiently house:
- One lane for a large, primary bundle.
- One lane for short cut-offs or remnants of the same material.
- One lane for a new, small batch of specialized alloy.
This modular segregation ensures that materials are not only stored safely but are always visible and organized, upholding the FIFO principle and protecting the financial value of expensive short-stock that would otherwise be discarded as scrap.
Containment Solutions: Safe Storage for Remnants and Small Parts
Floor-level organization is often ruined by the storage of small, irregular remnants. These pieces are too short for the main rack arms and too valuable to scrap, forcing operators to store them on the floor, creating serious trip hazards and clutter.
Turning Clutter into Organized Inventory with Baskets
The solution is to use specialized containment accessories, typically robust metal bins or baskets, designed to sit perfectly on the fully extended drawer. These containment units provide a safe, isolated home for:
- Irregularly shaped cut-offs and off-cuts.
- Small quantities of high-cost, specialized metal parts.
- Tools or measuring equipment used specifically at that storage location.
By using the drawer for containment, you bring the material up to an ergonomic height, eliminate floor hazards, and integrate these small, valuable items back into the traceable inventory system.

Protecting Sensitive Surfaces with Custom Liners
For clients supplying high-purity or finished materials—like polished stainless steel or aluminium extrusions—even the steel surface of the rack arm can pose a risk of damage or contamination.
UHMW Protection: Zero Marring Assurance
Custom liners, often made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight (UHMW) polyethylene, can be fitted directly onto the top surface of the cantilever arms. This hard, non-marring plastic creates a protective barrier, ensuring that high-polish or delicate metal surfaces never make contact with the structural steel. This specialized accessory is crucial for maintaining the precise surface finish specifications required by demanding industries and secures client confidence in your ability to handle sensitive inventory with care.

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
Are the dividers easy to remove and adjust?
Yes. The dividers are designed to be adjustable by the operator without requiring tools, typically using a simple drop-in and pin-lock mechanism. This flexibility allows for rapid adaptation to changing material sizes or job requirements.
Can the containment baskets be used with the overhead crane?
If the baskets are used to store smaller items, they are often unloaded manually after the drawer is extended. However, larger, custom-designed bins can include lifting points for direct crane access, depending on the client’s specific workflow and material size.
How do the accessories handle the same heavy load as the main rack?
The accessories sit directly on the cantilever arm, which is the primary load-bearing surface. Therefore, the weight capacity of the overall system remains dictated by the structural steel of the arm itself, ensuring the containment solutions are fully supported.
Do I need specialized liners for all materials?
No. The standard powder-coated finish is suitable for most heavy industrial steel and iron products. Liners are generally recommended only for high-cost, sensitive materials where surface scratching could lead to instant material rejection (e.g., highly polished or certified tubing).
How do accessories help with inventory traceability of cut-offs?
By using dividers and baskets, you give every remnant a defined, isolated storage location. This allows you to tag the specific bin or lane with a label detailing the material grade, original heat number, and current length, preventing them from being mixed up or lost.
