Product Introduction
Long materials such as steel pipes, bars, aluminum profiles, stainless steel tubes, timber, and extrusions are often difficult to organize efficiently. Traditional cantilever racks require operators to manually lift materials or use forklifts in wide aisles, leading to wasted floor space, slower operations, and higher safety risks.
The CK Crank-Out Cantilever Rack is designed to solve these challenges. Featuring manually operated crank-out arms that extend smoothly from the rack, it provides safe overhead crane access while maximizing workshop storage density.
Whether you operate a steel service center, fabrication workshop, manufacturing plant, or workshop, this rack system improves material organization, increases productivity, and creates a safer working environment.
Product Features
1. Smooth Crank-Out Operation
Each storage arm is driven by a mechanical crank system, allowing operators to extend heavy material safely and precisely.
Compared with manually pulling heavy drawers, the crank mechanism requires less effort while providing better control during operation.
2. Heavy-Duty Load Capacity
Designed for industrial environments, each drawer level supports heavy loads while maintaining smooth movement.
3. Space Saving Storage
Traditional storage often requires large forklift aisles.
The Crank-Out Cantilever Rack allows direct overhead access, reducing aisle width requirements and maximizing workshop capacity.
Benefits include:
- Higher storage density
- Cleaner workshop layout
- More usable production space
- Improved material flow
4. Easy Material Identification
Each storage level can accommodate different material sizes and types.
Suitable for:
- Steel pipes
- Round bars
- Square tubes
- Aluminum profiles
- Stainless steel profiles
- Copper bars
Organized storage eliminates time spent searching for materials.
5. Safety First
Safety is one of the biggest advantages of the crank-out design.
Features include:
- Mechanical locking system
- Stable drawer guidance
- Controlled extension
- Reduced manual lifting
- Improved crane accessibility
- Stable heavy-duty frame construction
Workers no longer need to climb over stacked materials or manually pull heavy bundles.

Why Choose a Crank-Out Cantilever Rack?
Unlike conventional cantilever storage systems, every storage level can be individually extended using an easy-to-operate crank mechanism. Operators simply rotate the hand crank to extend the drawer arm, allowing materials to be picked directly by an overhead crane without moving other bundles.
This design significantly reduces manual handling while improving workflow efficiency.
Key Benefits

- Individual drawer extension for every storage level
- Smooth crank-operated movement
- Full overhead crane accessibility
- Safer material handling
- Better inventory organization
- Suitable for various long materials
- Custom sizes and load capacities
- Low maintenance mechanical design
