Pipe racks are heavy-duty steel systems used to store pipes, hollow sections, bars, flats, angles and similar long materials safely, systematically and accessibly in factories, warehouses and production areas. They prevent uncontrolled floor storage, help keep access routes open and provide faster access to the correct size and length for production.
Each system is engineered specifically according to material length, diameter or section, total stack weight, loading method, forklift or crane access, aisle layout, floor capacity and facility arrangement.
A pipe rack is an industrial steel storage system that holds long materials horizontally on cantilever arms or vertically in divided compartments.
Depending on project requirements, the system may include:
Arm, column and connection sections are sized according to material length, total stack weight and load distribution.
Separate rack levels by pipe diameter, profile section, material type and length to simplify inventory control.
Layouts designed for forklifts, cranes or transport carts provide faster access to the required material.
Multi-level cantilever storage reduces uncontrolled floor stacks and wasted space.
End stops, dividers and suitable arm geometry help prevent uncontrolled movement of pipes and profiles.
Additional modules, arm levels or compartments can be added when new sections or material groups are introduced.
Used along walls or in areas accessed from one side.
Allow loading from both sides and provide high storage capacity in central warehouse areas.
Store short and medium-length materials upright in divided compartments.
Cantilever spacing, fork-entry clearances and aisle widths are arranged for forklift operation.
Top access, sling connections and safe lifting clearances are designed for overhead or gantry cranes.
Developed for movable cassettes or non-standard applications where conventional rack geometry is insufficient.
Each project is evaluated individually according to long-material inventory, loading method and site conditions.
Pipe and profile types, lengths, sections, stack weights, frequency of use, lifting method, crane routes, forklift traffic and floor conditions are evaluated.
Rack rows, access directions, arm levels, column and arm sections, stops, dividers, base plates and anchoring details are determined.
Profiles, columns, cantilever arms, bracing, base plates and connection components are cut, drilled, formed and assembled according to project dimensions.
Electrostatic powder coating, wet paint, galvanizing or protective coating is applied. Dimensions, welds, arm levels, connections and module compatibility are inspected.
Arm connections, stops, dividers, pull-out mechanisms where applicable, loading clearances and module joints are checked.
Rack components are delivered, installed, aligned, checked for verticality, anchored and finally inspected.
Existing pipe racks may develop forklift-impact damage, cantilever-arm deformation, weld cracks, loose connections, damaged stops or anchoring problems over time. Heavier materials or layout changes may also require capacity reevaluation.
Following a technical inspection, the following works may be carried out:
Material and surface treatment are selected according to load capacity, operating intensity and environment.
Provide high load capacity for columns, cantilever arms, bracing and base elements.
Used for base plates, connections, stops, dividers and custom safety components.
Can be used to provide controlled access in pull-out or movable rack systems.
Can be considered for applications requiring hygiene, wash-down resistance or high corrosion protection.
Provide durable surfaces for indoor use and applications requiring specific chemical resistance.
Provides long-term protection in humid, semi-open or highly corrosive environments.
Projects are not limited to standard rack dimensions; they are prepared according to actual material lengths, sections, stack weights, lifting method, crane and forklift conditions, operator access and floor structure.
Site survey, technical design, steel fabrication, surface treatment and professional installation are managed within a single process. Reinforcement, cantilever-arm modification, module addition and capacity increase can also be carried out on existing racks.
Capacity is engineered according to material length, total stack weight, cantilever-arm span, arm levels, column section and floor conditions.
Single-sided systems are used along walls or where access is available from one side. Double-sided systems allow loading from both sides and provide higher storage capacity in central areas.
No. They are prepared specifically according to material lengths, sections, weights and site layout.
Yes. Cantilever spacing, aisle widths, top access and lifting-equipment working clearances can be designed together.
Yes. Columns, cantilever arms, bracing, base plates, anchors and safety elements can be renewed or reinforced following technical inspection.
Yes. Shipment, installation, alignment, verticality checks, anchoring and final inspections can be included in the project scope.
Technical assessment and project engineering can be provided for a rack system suited to your pipe and profile dimensions, stack weights, loading method and facility layout.
