¿El inventario muerto se esconde en su almacén? ¿Cómo un Bastien voladizo garantiza la selectividad 100%

How much capital is tied up in raw material that sits at the bottom of a stack, untouched for years? In traditional static racking, the “first in” often becomes the “never out” because it’s simply too difficult to reach. En Crank Out Cantilever Rack solves the “honeycombing” problem instantly. By allowing every single storage level to extend fully into the aisle, it gives you 100% selectivity. You can access any specific heat number, alloy grade, or length of stainless steel tubing immediately, without moving a single other bundle. It turns your rack into a precision filing cabinet for heavy steel. Hable con un experto

The Hidden Cost of “Last In, First Out” (LIFO)

For Steel Service Centers dealing with certified materials for aerospace or pharmaceutical clients, traceability is everything. But static pigeonhole racks force you into a LIFO workflow. The newest bundle goes on top (or in front), burying the older stock. This leads to expired material certifications, rust issues, and eventually, expensive scrap.

Un Estantería en voladizo telescópica enforces a true First-In, First-Out (FIFO) system naturally. Because you have direct overhead access to every drawer independently, your team can easily pick the oldest stock first. There is no “digging” required. This ensures your inventory rotates properly, preserving cash flow and material quality.

Stop Handling Material Twice

In standard racking, if you need the bundle at the back, you have to move the two bundles in front of it. This “double handling” is a waste of labor hours and a major safety risk. Every time you move a heavy load unnecessarily, you roll the dice on an accident or material damage.

Con nuestro extendable cantilever arms, you only move what you need. You crank out the specific level containing the target material, hook it up with your overhead crane, and lift. The surrounding inventory stays untouched. This reduction in handling steps can increase your warehouse throughput by over 30%.

Simplifying the Nightmare of Inventory Audits

How long does your annual stocktake take? If your team has to climb racks or pull out pallets just to read a tag, it’s taking too long. Inaccurate inventory counts lead to production stoppages when the system says you have steel that isn’t actually there.

En Estantería cantiléver desplegable offers superior visibility. Because the drawers open fully, barcode scanning and visual inspection can be done from the floor level. You can audit your high-value nickel alloy bars or structural profiles in minutes, not days. Reliable inventory data means smarter purchasing decisions.

Designed for High-Mix Manufacturing

You don’t just store one type of steel. You have round tubes, square tubes, flat bars, and maybe even some wooden crates. Static racks struggle with this variety.

As seen in the image above, a double-sided telescopic rack is versatile enough to house a diverse mix of SKUs in a compact footprint. Adjustable arm heights allow you to optimize the gap for each specific material type, ensuring you aren’t storing “air” between layers. It allows you to consolidate your entire raw material library into a single, organized zone.

Preguntas frecuentes

1. Can I access the top shelf without a ladder?
Yes. That is the beauty of the system. You use the crank (manual or electric) to extend the top drawer, and then use your overhead crane to lift the material. The operator stays safely on the ground the entire time.

2. How does this help with material traceability?
Since each bundle has its own dedicated spot and doesn’t get buried, you can keep heat number tags visible. It prevents the common error of grabbing the wrong batch because it was “easier to reach.”

3. What is the maximum depth of the drawers?
We can manufacture arms to support materials up to 6 meters, 12 meters, or even longer. The depth of the arm is matched to your material length to ensure proper support and prevent sagging.

4. Is there a risk of the drawer sliding out on its own?
No. The crank mechanism is self-locking. The drawer will only move when the handle is actively turned. Additionally, we install safety pins to lock the drawers in the closed position when not in use.

5. Can we retrofit existing racks with these drawers?
No. The telescopic mechanism requires a specific structural column design to handle the cantilevered torque. However, we can design the new rack to fit into the exact footprint of your old static rack, making the swap seamless.
